If you didn't notice, XBox Live was down earlier this morning. Many gamers were in a panic, wondering if this might be a follow-up to the attack on Sony's servers that downed the PSN for a very significant amount of time. Fortunately, the servers are already up, and Microsoft has quickly gone on the offensive to make sure that it's known that the outage was NOT due to hackers, and that none of its millions of customers are in danger.

"The root cause of this outage was human error. a change resulted in an interruption to normal traffic flow within our datacenters, which logged users out and prevented them from logging back in. We're sorry for this, and we'll be updating our processes to prevent this from happening again in the future."

Eric Neustadter said this about the outage. So it appears that, rather than some kind of hack that endangers credit card information, the outage was instead one of simple technical difficulties. Unlike the PSN outage, which lasted for several weeks and placed a lot of user information at risk.

But fear not. The outage was only a very short time, and may not have even affected all the users. Microsoft also says that they are already working on fixing their systems so that this doesn't happen again.


Firstly, geez that's a butt sucking article!

Secondly, HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Microsoft undone by shit change control!!! :lol: ITIL training for all you suckers! Learn your repeated anagrams and buzz words fools! :mwahaha:

So who's in for a class action law suit? M$ have admitted guilt and caused easily preventable down time that we have paid good money for. If I was home when this happened, I couldn't have used party chat. That's bullshit.

No, you will get a free copy of an old XBLA game that you already own, just like every other time. MS are all about tradition.

about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to
