Xbox Live breaks concurrent users record News
Xbox 360 News by Ellie Gibson
A new record has been set for the number of Xbox Live users online at one time.
"We just hit a new Xbox Live record: Over TWO MILLION people connected to the service at once," wrote Major Nelson on his Twitter page.
Shacknews pointed out that the release of Modern Warfare 2 might have had something to do with it, as nearly a million people were playing the game on Live yesterday.

Yes, there is:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/mw2-ge... ""It's a server overload not a bug in the code. They're working to have servers back up ASAP," he wrote last night. "MP Servers gradually coming back online. Some users may still experience issues," he added a couple of hours later. "Looks like it was the amount of connections at once that killed PSN. They're enabling 20,000 users at a time to connect now," he continued later in the evening. "I believe this is Sony/DemonWare's temporary solution while they work on fortifying the infrastructure."" Looks like you haven't been one of the 20K people yet, but I'm sure it'll all be up and running soon. |

PSN is not completely broken.
Played online all last night and with friends. There is a bug in the friend invite but you can work around it by going to acvcount management press triangle - sign out - then sign back in and select your friend game invite. It works every time and you join your friends party. |

no, my issue isnt with the complete arse failure of PSN on weds, its the fact that you cant invite or join any friends. google it, everyone has the same problem from what I can see. there is a workaround, but its a bit fiddly, and you obviously need all your friends to know the workaround too. it is still broken. the failure on weds was the complete inability to even get to a lobby. this is different.

No doubt a record has also been set for the number of 12 year olds shrieking 'fag', 'n00b' and 'nigger' at each other while teabagging furiously.
I was playing Puzzle Bobble, locally, with SWMBO, so she wasn't angry. |

So you are saying if I search for xbox live down in google I will not encounter results ? like this http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2008/... ? or this year http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/sho... so tell me again what do we get and what don't we get when we pay and don't pay. |

Its ok.. you can keep bitching about ppl that pay a total of 40$ for whole year of great online and how free PSN is. Well stick with it, really. Just stop compairing a perfect online service with the freebie. Simple stuff. Other than that my PC always comes first and where ive been playing MW2 at. Amen to Spec Ops.
And no my GF plays with me some times, my games too :P She's no miracle but she knows how to play very well actually. And complains that we cant play S[ec Ops on the same Screen cause on the damn PC version at least there is not splitscreen.. :/ Is there on the console version splitscreen? I havent looked it up. |
