Xbox LIVE Downtime Alert - September 29
Xbox LIVE and the LIVE-powered sections of Xbox.com (My Xbox and the Forums) will be down for 24 hours from 0900 UK time (1000 CET) on September 29 - but it's not all bad news! This downtime is really important as the Xbox LIVE team will be using it to prepare the service for the arrival of the New Xbox Experience later this year!
Just to be clear, NXE WILL NOT come online when the downtime finishes, but the service will then be ready to receive NXE when it does eventually go live.
Official blurb:
"Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com will be down for 24 hours, beginning on September 29, 2008 from 12:01 AM PST until 11:59 PM PST. This service maintenance will allow us to bring some exciting new features and functionality to you this holiday and beyond through the New Xbox Experience."
So no Xbox LIVE for a day on September 29, but good things come to those who wait...
