Xbox Live Down

[Robster]

My console was halfway through dl the forza 4 demo and my connection dropped, tried several times and cant connect.

Anyone else having problems ..?

[nakamura]

Same here. Dropped about 15 mins ago.

Dark Souls forcibly kicked me back to the main menu, no less! Major Nelson / Xbox Support peeps on Twitter are saying they are fully aware of it and working on it now.

[Robster]

Hmmm, I have read rumours that live might be targetted by the same group responsible for the PSN hack...

[Bort]

Please. Don't let this spiral into scaremongering horse****.

A number of BT customers have been without Broadband today due to a power failure.
Faults can happen.

[Robster]

Faults can happen but PSN hack is alway going to be relavent and present in people's minds when live goes down unexpectedly.

Its the last thing I want

Xbox Live Down

It appears to be down for a big portion of the world. I can still connect but I can't see friends online who are online. Very odd.

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

When did this happen?

Was fine at about 2 this afternoon

[Fader209]

Probably a glitch from Battlefield 3 has managed to become self-aware and has infiltrated the whole Live network.

[EvilBoris]

It's back for me now and my friends are starting to reappear

[Robster]

Slightly OT but :
There is a thread on avf about a members account being hacked and cc details being stolen. It seems to be a widespread problem, i have deleted my cc details again just in case.

Can i suggest we all do the same if you have any payment including paypal details linked to your account.

There's been sporadic reports of that for a while now - some alarming posts made on NeoGAF (but when are they not trying to scare each other ****less over there that the world is ending) of late where people say their accounts have been compromised with no apparent reason as to why.

I would remove all CC details from my account but MS' bull**** system won't allow me too

Seems it's back for now at least.

[Robster]

You can do it Spatial thru your console I did it earlier tonight.

Guide Button> settings >account management >manage payment options >remove payment option

[Spatial]

Nope, having none of it for me - option to remove (or even edit it so the details aren't right) are both blanked out.

[Robster]

Thats strange, you can do it on xboxlive fot com I beleive...
