Microsoft has totally revamped XBox.com (www.xbox.com). After being down for 26 hours the site is back up and running.

Like Major Nelson said:

After a long 26 hours, Xbox Live is now back online after the scheduled upgrade. In addition, the all new Xbox.com is also now open for business. Swing over and have a look around. Kick the tires and see what the teams have been working on.
Great job to the entire Xbox Live team who did an extraordinary job that we’ll all really appreciate on November 22nd.
Remember, the official Xbox forums and the ‘My Xbox’ sections are not online yet…they’ll be coming online sometime in the next couple of days. Of course when I get a better sense of the time, I’ll give you a heads up.
Until then…enjoy.

Why did it take 26 hours? Anyway.. new design is nice. Much easier to navigate.

Dunno.... but they have updated all the international versions as well and maybe they already have the Live code up and running as well (just not usable at the moment).

I think they did a lot of backend upgrades for the integration of the XBox 360. Live was also down as well. I wonder if there's a new Live update available today.

Ooooh nice site. I also finally know where the optical cables go for sound.

I like the way you have stereo or optical for the vga cable. Nice. Should make 360 lans a lot easier ;)

It's his Xbox Live GamerTag. From his own website (http://www.majornelson.com/who-is-major-nelson/):

Major Nelson is the Xbox Live gamertag of Larry Hryb.

Hehe, kinda funny how the core system has a white drive cover. I guess it's so that even if you do slap a hard drive on there one day people will still know that you're lame.

Lame? ArkMan I'm hurt! Just ask Perigon about the great benefits of the core system. :p
