All back now. Live was shitting itself. But killer instinct was suspended from last night so that might have been it. I started dr 3 then went back to KI and it was all good.

Just popping in to say best of luck to all who are lining up to buy in the next few hours or are waiting patiently at home for their delivery. I hope the fail rates are nice and low so not many of you have your day ruined and that the online issues are sorted so you can all enjoy your purchase.

Enjoy!

It really wasn't.

Services like AWS or Azure don't just go down because a few machines are connecting.

There must be something seriously wrong. A rather massive attack would be my guess.

Yeah, Azure being down is a big deal.

I would like to use skydrive sometime tonight too. :(

Hope it isn't a massive DDoS attack.

I'm speaking about XBOX.COM anything else I'm not aware of.

Pretty much any Microsoft website or service that you can think of. Apart from Bing. Although it does seem to vary depending on your location.

Edit: Just as I said that, SkyDrive came back up for me.
 
Everything is still working here in NY except Xbox.com. The other sites are all really fast, no evidence of slowdown.


Too much promotion in NYC et al? Maybe too much traffic going to Xbox.com in such a short period of time.



[EDIT: Xbox.com is back up and running now!]

Another Welsh Gaffer!

Awesome. Hope Live isn't still down when you get your console.

Just got back with my new box, set it up and I can't connect.

I was gonna get my box last night, just in case Live was down, and I thought "No, North America won't be up yet, what's the worst that can happen? I'll get an early night and casually walk in tomorrow morning".

Someone's fucking with MS or MS are fucking around with their own shit.

The controller feels nice!
 
I just tried to upload a photo to skydrive and it worked fine. I am in Las Vegas btw. I have a doctors appointment for tomorrow, so I have to take the day off from work. Yay! I cant wait to go pick up my consoles at midnight tonight.

Anyone order from UK GAME?

When I pre ordered in August I got a standard bundle, but a few weeks after a saw a news piece saying all previous pre orders were bumped up to Day One version. I've not heard anything from GAME tho?

Really want a Fifa/Forza code so I can trade it for XBL points :\
