MS are preparing you for the inevitable massive outage and downtime when the new Dash and Christmas collide. It will be carnage, guaranteed.
Time for single player games then :wink:

have a few RPG's to work my way through so have enough to be getting on with without Live connectivity
hope the upgrade isn't forced (then the outage will be MS organised)

Agreed.

And I stuck to Fable 2 today, I thought I'd never play another game again after Fallout 3 but I decided that I needed a break from it before I started proposing to the disc or something...

Live's been having issues for the last couple of days, so there's nothing wrong with your end. :wink:

£27 is a terrific price for any new game, yet surprisingly it isn't the cheapest. Carphone Warehouse are apparently selling it for £24.99 8O

Hey? , you have to buy a phone too surely :lol: .
Did anyone else notice numerous patches and updates for a few games this weekend, I think I had two separate update requests on COD5 alone on Sunday.
Is there somewhere that lists these console patches for games?

If you haven't got it yet try going to settings and running a network test, when it gets to Xbox Live you will get the prompt.

Quickie for the US folks. If you were interested in using Netflix, it appears that Sony\Columbia etc have changed the license on the films available so that they are only available on all devices except the 360. How to win friends and influence people eh?

Well I grabbed the update in literally seconds, but Live is down and wont let you sign in so no looking at any of the new content, editing of Avatars etc.

Dash itself is lovely and fast though. Most noticeably for me when browsing music I stream from the PC.

Anyone want to have a bet on when Live will work again? Fingers crossed it's not a repeat of last Christmas.
