XBox Live prepares for 360

[amusedtoe]

Apparently the 360 onslaught is on as Live will be going down this Monday the 24th and coming back up the 25th rebirthed. Thanks to an e-mail from Microsoft we know that when things go back "Live" it's supposed to be "returning as a whole new animal".

What's Going On?

In preparation for the launch of Xbox Live on Xbox 360™, there will be a brief interruption of the Xbox Live service beginning on Monday, October 24. Service will return on Tuesday, October 25. Don't worry; leaderboard information for tournaments will not be affected.

At the same time, Xbox.com will also undergo a complete overhaul and redesign, and will relaunch with new features, new forums, and exciting new content soon after the Xbox Live service outage.

What's Coming for Xbox Live Users on Xbox 360?

After this brief interruption of service, Xbox Live will be primed and ready to go with all-new features enabled by Xbox 360, ready to wow you with the launch of the system on November 22 in North America, December 2 in Europe, and December 10 in Japan.

I don't know if I'm ready to be wowed.

I guess I'd be wowed if it was free.

Well, I guess it's time for me to cancel my Live subscription. It was fun while it lasted, I suppose...

Wow what positive reactions, lol. The thing that I'm wondering about is how much of a change we'll see right now on the original XBox.

Since they're introducing live silver it will be be free.

You won't see any change to live on the current Xbox. They are just setting up stuff for the three sixty with time to check for glitches before it launches.
