Xbox Live down for mandatory maintenance tomorrow
Microsoft’s confirmed to EG that Xbox Live will be down for maintenance tomorrow.
Why? For the summer update, silly.
The update goes live tomorrow to the public after being beta trialed by selective members of Live who filled in a survey a while back.
Get the full lowdown on the update here.

First it was suppose to be two updates a year (a spring and fall) now its a summer update that fixes the previous fall update last year…LMAO WTF is going on over there at M$. Why does the network go down for maintenance if you are paying?
PSN doesn’t go down for maintenance
Wii online does’n….never mind about that one

14.99/month Divide that 30 days equals to 50 cents if you round up, thats your refund it gets a whole lot less if you go for longer terms, 50$ a year is 10 cents a day.

The point is it so miniscule it doesn’t matter. Its 10-50 cents, you will just have suck it up and play solo

Were you not joking Gekidami? I assumed you were because of all those idiots that wanted a refund for the downtime at Christmas 07.

The box would be worth more than the 50 cents.

I like how EG mistakenly calls it the ‘supper update’.
I surmise this is just online play that’ll be off? Bit tricky to download the new client software to everyone’s machines if they’re turning the whole network off.

What would be useful if the story actually mentioned the times LIVE was down? I presume its down all day?
