[quote] Well would you believe it? The PlayStation Store is [URL="http://www.product-reviews.net/2011/05/24/playstation-store-online-status-unknown-sony-unwilling-to-commit-to-date/"]still down[/URL] as a result of recent cyber attacks against Sony, and now it has just been confirmed that the Xbox Live Marketplace has [I]‘somewhat’[/I] gone offline too. Microsoft has already issued a statement on it, but they haven’t given a reason for the downtime.
It looks like this has happened within the last hour, but it ISN’T affecting everyone. Some users can apparently still access the Live Marketplace, but others are not so lucky. It does appear to be a pretty serious problem though, as Microsoft has already issued the following statement to terrified gamers:
[I][B]“Users may experience difficulties with the following services: Browsing Indie Games from the Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com, browsing the Games for Windows – LIVE Marketplace on a PC, Browsing Games Marketplace from the Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com.”[/B][/I]
They added that they are currently aware of the issue and that they are working to resolve the problem. So what has happened? Did the hackers suddenly become bored of easily bypassing Sony’s security and decided to go after Microsoft instead for a greater challenge? Or is this your bog standard sporadic maintenance that none of us need to worry about?
It will be interesting to see what Microsoft’s explanation is for this. If you are currently online on your Xbox 360, let us know what is happening on your console. [B][I]Can you access the Xbox Live Marketplace?[/I][/B][/quote][IMG]http://static.product-reviews.net/wp-content/uploads/xbox-live-marketplace-down.jpg[/IMG]

Xbox live getting hacked after psn? Just when I bought 3 months of live :smith:
If it's been hacked, shit's going down. Whoever is responsible should be locked up!
Nah, I feel xbox live should burn in hell thanks all of it's 12 year old fanboys claiming it's better than ps3 when it got hacked.
But still, PC Master Race
Everything is fine for me :smile:
You know there is such thing as maintenance/downtime.

"In other news, Valve's online store known as Steam has been hacked!"
Xbox Live always has technical problems after the yearly system update. It'll probably be sorted out soon.

That could take quite a long time.
how typical
uh misleading title
nowhere in the article does it say that Live was hacked, not even as a possibility

No. Let's NOT turn this into a flame war. Go back to the games section if you want to do that. Or fast threads.

Just wait a week and microsoft will tell you that everyone with an xbox live account just had all their personal information leaked on the net.

it's a fucking joke
I swear to god this better be minor.
I JUST got a re-sub to gold so I could play Skate 3 online with a friend.
Hope it's not going to be like what happened to PS3, that would suck balls.

There is nothing to start a flame war about, PC is the master race.

Meant to rate agree.
Imagine if this really is the case, all the people that might even went over to 360 during the psn ordeal is going to fucking rage.
If it really is, I laugh at all those who traded their PS3s in for a Xbox.
I hope Valve already took the necessary precautions against a certain hack attack on Steam.
It is up for me.
Even though the PSN network had a greater downtime, it's still better than Xbox live, due to it being free and not full of shitty 10 year fan boys.
But overall, computers are the master race.

I'm going to laugh at them anyways.
I am going to laugh at everyone who did not save up for a real pc in the first place.
I doubt it's "hacked" at all. It just went down, this doesn't mean anything, happens a lot.
