That's right, we've been hearing reports that throughout the evening Master Chief decided to pick a fight with Xbox Live, Xbox Live accepted the challenge, and then Master Chief promptly pummeled the crap out of poor Xbox Live. We guess that's what happens when Halo 3 comes to town.
Throughout the day yesterday and into today's early AM hours, Xbox Live and Xbox.com have been acting funny, not responding and have just been unreliable. These Xbox Live problems are associated with the release of a little game called Halo 3 and everyone going online at once, ultimately causing Xbox Live to take a nose dive. Though, the good news is that the problems seem to have been rectified for the most part (there may be a few hiccups throughout the day), but from what we can tell everything seems to be working just fine (Xbox.com's Xbox Live status says "up and running"). So, it looks like we're in the clear, but who would have thought that a multi-million copy selling game would cause Xbox Live to buckle? Really, who would have thought?
