Them Lizard Squad boys is something serious.

 

[Brian Fellows]

You can acces the store?

Nope guess not. I can just see what my friends are doing.

 

[BlastKiller]

Fuck. I just realised that no game works with game sharing on in offline mode XB1.

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Only have a couple hours before I have to go to work and these fuckers ruin my gaming time! How does a company as big and that has as much money as Microsoft does allow this to happen?!

 

[ekim]

Xbl down here. (Germany)

 

[OraleeWey]

So that whole thing with finest squad was fake ?

 

[TheDarkTriforce]

Lizard Assholes!

 

[Heysoos]

I wouldn't be so quick as to blame these guys. It's most likely the fact that a lot of people are opening their new consoles today that would likely be the culprit of either system having downtime.

 

[e90Mark]

Party and Friends are not working for me on XBL any more. I couldn't get PS to work any time today.

They cant stop it??/ it's not even the lizardzz

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

My buddy can't connect his Xb1, Louisiana. Though his is fresh out the box.

 

[checkeredknight]

Ohh. So this is why PSN is down. Bunch of twelve year olds that think they're cool. Hope they get their comeuppance. Expose and arrest them all, I say.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Yup, not able to sign in. (NS, Canada.)

 

[fastest finger]

PSN and XBL both down here in the UK.

Can't even play a single player game on Xbox One without fucking about in settings to take it totally offline. Pain in the ass.

 

[sviri]

Bay Area here. My little sister opened her new X1 and minecraft, and we can't get past the update screen. Sad day for many gamers.

 

[SSReborn]

We need like a virtual avengers or justice league to take on this threat to gaming.

 

[Miles X]

Ugh I wanna play Kalimba without compromising my saved data

[Gearmarine]

XBL Shut Down Where I am at as well

 

[Razdek]

Back up for me here I'm in Calgary Canada.

 

[JayEH]

Apparently a lot of the lizards are from Canada and it's hard to arrest them. Finest Squad says on Twitter they're trying to get PSN back up.

That's what Finest Squad thinks they are.

 

[Marvel]

OK now it has gone down for me (UK) damn it.

 

[The Main Event]

Both PSN and XBL down in Canada (Quebec). Thank God eShop is working.

 

[GamingMajic]

XBL (XB1) down for me in the UK.

Edit:

I was doing some achievement hunting and what baffles me is that i cant even earn/see achievements if the console is offline. WTF microsoft?!

 

[Jacksinthe]

The easiest way to stop this would be if Twitter or just their followers, in general, pulled the plug on these guys. They feed off of the attention and retweets.

At some point Twitter, FB or whoever will have to step in and remove their soapbox.

 

[oatmeal]

My nephew got an xbox one with infinity and can't play.

Can you not play without being online??

 

[ironcreed]

Apparently a lot of the lizards are from Canada and it's hard to arrest them. Finest Squad says in Twitter they're trying to get PSN back up.

LOL, hopefully Sony and Microsoft figure something out before 'teh Finest Squad' does.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Nintendo is the last man standing. Best online confirmed.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

PSN down in Denmark

 

[malfcn]

XBL is down for me.

 

[Scanna]

Can't even sign in with Xbox in Italy. Will try ps4

 

[Tschis]

"We're currently having issues with the EA back end. Please try again later"

While trying to play BF3

That's what Finest Squad thinks they are.

Being from canada means nothing... see: mafiaboy

Lag disagrees.

 

[Sez]

STEAM is the last man standing. Best online confirmed.

FIXED

Steam would like to have a word with you.

Would be cool if there were more people with Wii Us to play with online at all.

 

[daegan]

Do we know this is really an attack though? Doesn't at least one if not all of the platforms have issues on Christmas Day every year?

 

[sturgboski]

Well hopefully, when they get caught, they get punished to the fullest extent of the law. Also, since most of these members are probably juveniles, I am hoping they instead get tried as adults. When you have people of your group espousing terrorist sympathies and desires, not to mention exploiting women streamers, SWATing and bomb threats, I hope they get bumped to the adult level and get locked away for a long, long time. There needs to be consequences and repercussions for their actions or else every other Tom, Dick and Harry who thinks they are so cool will be pulling the same shit on things that actually matter (ie financial services, banking, the government as that guy from LizardSquad suggested on that laughable podcast debate).

They're Nintendo fanboys, and they probably are PC gamers. So fuck everyone else in their minds.
Hope they choke on their dinner.

 

[Ballistik]

XBL (XB1) down for me in the UK.

Edit:

I was trying to earn this achievement in Geometry Wars on XB1, I was about to get the score I needed and BAM I get a pop up saying my logged in profile changed and get kicked to the main menu.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This isn't normal at all.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yeah, same here playing MCC. Not sure if I want to keep playing and risk getting kicked or just do something else.

 

[Revengineer]

Can we get some knowledge on TaintSquad going here? MIght as well spend time I'd be spending gaming on finding out who these cunts are.

 

[Kinthalis]

Man, you won't quit.

What aren't PC gamers responsible for? Global warming? PC gamers, right? Over commercilizaiton of Xmas? Thanks PC gamers!

 

[flkraven]

My XB1 is a $400 bluray player now. Lizard Squad, you guys are just tops. Merry Christmas.

 

[Kabuto]

Battlefield 3 & 4 servers are down as well; not sure if they did it or not.

 

[malfcn]

Looks like you can have XBL text you when services are stabilized.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

I logged into Live first thing this morning and set my box to not turn off, and service has been good for me all day beyond the occasional missing pins and friends data.

No one else in the house has been able to log in for about two hours, though, but then 10 minutes ago or so Live started accepting logins again. I'm in the southeast U.S.
