- nfollmer, on 01/02/2008, -5/+64The sad thing is that it STILL isn't working right. I don't know about the rest of you, but Call of Duty 4 seems to be having the most issues.
Give us all free gamer points! - Rahodeb, on 01/02/2008, -5/+64...And Bill Gates will send you $5 for each person you forward this to...
- wild, on 01/02/2008, -2/+51I pay $50 a year, lump sum. A free month doesnt mean anything to me.
Give me 800 MP or something. Hell, allow people to download one of the new "Arcade Classics" for free. A little bit of something serious would go a long way. A free month is bogus for a lot of users i would think. - Danltn, on 01/02/2008, -11/+46Everyone better prepare for the PS3 fanboys screaming and shouting that Xbox in general sucks and PS3 is better because it's free.
- BearinG, on 01/02/2008, -0/+23When you write a check and it bounces, do you blame the person you gave it to?
- ObviousCat, on 01/02/2008, -15/+37Microsoft is in charge of Live, that is why they are the ones to compensate for the downtime.
- Mister2zx3, on 01/02/2008, -4/+25GET RID OF THE DRM.
Going offline is one thing. But when you lose all your content because you are offline is borderline criminal! With all teh failing consoles, it is inevitable that your content will be forever locked to a dead console. If you get a replacement, there must be a way to re-license that content to a new machine. Microsoft can verify a console has been sent in when it fails and allow people to re-bind content to a new machine. - tendonut, on 01/02/2008, -0/+20That was completely irrelevant. Besides, EVERY company would still charge you even if your account was empty. They can't tell. If you don't want that to happen, see if you can have your bank decline charges instead of overdrafting. Either that, or don't let your account reach $0.
- tendonut, on 01/02/2008, -0/+20Haha, Your username perfectly suited your comment. Thank you for making my day.

- Dustmuffins, on 01/02/2008, -0/+18ObviousCat is obvious.
- unicronband, on 01/02/2008, -0/+15I think you have to enlist in the Army before AA will work.
- totorototoro, on 01/02/2008, -2/+16We have been having intermittent trouble connecting to XboxLive from around Christmas day to yesterday...but just chalk it up to the holiday rush to get online. I appreciate the gesture by MS (if its true), but don't really expect anything-it has only been a week.
(Surprising though-we've had XboxLive for several years now-this is the first significant downtime I can remember) - KyleRayner, on 01/02/2008, -0/+13Apparently people dont know that ObviousCat is obvious. ^.^
- RedWire75, on 01/02/2008, -2/+15Things I won't be doing:
Holding my breath. - soulknowledge, on 01/02/2008, -1/+13Gaybox?... With creative wit like that who needs Hollywood writers?
- spritom, on 01/02/2008, -3/+15I'm still waiting for him to give a copy of Windows 95 to the boy in the hospital.
- RedS0x, on 01/02/2008, -2/+13Really?
- CrackaPleeze, on 01/02/2008, -3/+14I live in NYC, and my mom lives in vegas. I've never even owned a basement. I love my 360, and play it with my college-educated friends.
You're abusing already-lame stereotypes. Tell you what, I'll get out of my mom's basement if you get your head out of your ass. - Kumaku, on 01/02/2008, -0/+10That almost hurts as much as when your girlfriend is on her period and I have days off.
- crakbot, on 01/02/2008, -0/+9Why is wanting to play games for the holidays so "sad"? Yeah sure, I would love to spend my holidays in Monaco sleeping with super models but I'm just a regular guy and playing COD 4 to relax after a hectic holiday season doesn't seem that sad.
- trenchcoat, on 01/02/2008, -1/+10Don't you mean grammar?
- NoCt1, on 01/02/2008, -2/+11Halo 3 was hit hard. 2 hours for matchmaking. was crazy.... and the worst was i was off the days i wanted to play.
- knetworx, on 01/02/2008, -2/+11SOME Indians speak better TECHNICAL English than the average American, the problem is that MOST of them have such a heavy accent that you can't understand it anyway.
- knetworx, on 01/02/2008, -1/+9Because we don't f***ing wanna hear your f***ing rants, and we don't give a f*** about your f***ing resolution.
- jtbndy, on 01/02/2008, -2/+10I'm sure thats what people want for paying actual money for a service..... free gamer points that mean next to nothing.
- Kumaku, on 01/02/2008, -0/+8If this isn't a joke I'm seriously going to need some sort of medication.
- wild, on 01/02/2008, -1/+8Well, lets see now, its been down/craptastic since a week BEFORE Christmas. I would say the service being unreliable/broken for half a month should get you something.
- cadmiumpaint, on 01/02/2008, -1/+8The cable company usually gives you credit for the days the service is down for. It usually only works out to a dollar or two per day so you don't even notice it.
- arenas46, on 01/02/2008, -0/+7I see what you did there..
- gearsofwar05, on 01/02/2008, -4/+11If you want to be a fanboy please leave. I have all 3 systems, both have there ups and downs. Its not like this is something new. We have been talking about the 360 problems since day 1!!!! Return it and then you and "friends" can go play the 3 or 4 games that are actually good for PS3. I stick with the 360. More people playing online and way better games. Only reason I have a PS3 is I got the 80gig for 400 and for MGS4. So please sit down and shut up!
- smergs, on 01/02/2008, -1/+8What makes you say the PS3 is the way to go?
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -0/+7Not a huge issue. Its cool that MS is considering compensation instead of saying boohoo read the ToS.
- louiedog, on 01/02/2008, -2/+9Sure you did.
- louiedog, on 01/02/2008, -1/+7My 360 hasn't gotten the RROD, therefore everyone must be making it up. See what I did there?
- Christbait, on 01/02/2008, -3/+9Good, don't ever go near one again. Xbox Live needs less nonsensical idiots like you.
- knetworx, on 01/02/2008, -1/+7Besides, a lot of people got new games for Christmas that they'd like to play online, and I'd venture to guess that most people had more free time over the Christmas season to spend playing games online.

Deva vu, huh? See you guys at next year's XBL outage! - KSUdesigner, on 01/02/2008, -1/+7People still use VCRs?
- BinaryFragger, on 01/02/2008, -1/+7Is that what you trolls are calling it now? It used to be M$ or Micro$hit or other dollar sign variations.
I also assume you never even used Xbox Live. - BearinG, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5You'd think they could've predicted a little hike in the number of Xbox users around Christmas time..
- SideShowMel0329, on 01/02/2008, -1/+6Agreed, almost everyone in my college dorm hall has a video game system and all my friends play games, and so do I. I love it and gaming stereotypes are seriously a thing of the past.
- RobertJoseph17, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5I like to wait til 13 month subscription cards go on sale and buy a couple. I bought a couple during the holiday season at buy.com for $38 and free shipping.
- bbqsalad, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5Thanks for taking the time out of your busy life to post that comment, Troll-Tard
- harrisbradley, on 01/02/2008, -1/+6Xbox Live has better up time than most websites I frequent. I had some trouble getting on, but I don't expect any sort of reparation. That's just me and my 2 cents.
- Nattybumpoe, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5If you weren't able to use the service that you paid for, you are entitled to compensation.
- meltingrobot, on 01/02/2008, -3/+8Not really, I'm fairly unbiased. In fact, I've been trying really hard to justify a PS3 purchase. Unfortunately, the exclusives are crap. Maybe when Little Big Planet arrives, I'll finally get to buy one.
- sinembarg0, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5I don't really want gamerpoints, that'd be retarded. I want Microsoft Points.
- nfollmer, on 01/02/2008, -0/+4Rockband rarely finds me anyone to play with and I just got America's Army and it refuses to find Ranked matches.
- GeneralFailure0, on 01/02/2008, -0/+4I have an Xbox 360 and a gaming PC. They're both good.
