Major Nelson has informed us that Xbox Live will be undergoing maintenance starting Monday morning (or really late Sunday night, depending on your point of view) at 12:01 AM PST. The maintenance, as you might expect, is to prepare Xbox Live for the New Xbox Experience (or NXE as the kids call it) which will be landing on Xbox 360s sometime later this year. The maintenance will not add any new features to the Xbox 360, so don't go looking for any. Xbox Live will be down for as long as 24 hours, so you'd best start making plans now, perhaps a game of RISK.

Don't feel too bad. I honestly hate babies with a passion.

I'm kind of glad it's down... Because I got a testweek and I'll be able to read :)

So does microsoft charge you for the downtime?
Or do the cool cats with a gold account get 24 hours added onto their subscription?
I've never really been too much of an online gamer for this to affect me. But I've always been curious.

I think I've finished 3 or 4 games of Risk in my life. The longest took about 10-12 hours (I'm not kidding)

Amen!
I think they should team up with Lux Delux, they allow map creation and AI customization among other things. I would pay 1600 for it.

And you're paying for an online service that you won't even get to use...I pity the 360'ers.
And here come the excuses for how "it's worth it no matter what".
@ AoE,
Yeah, $0.14 x thousands = enough to fill M$'s greedy little pockets.

Was this only for the US, because I was on in the UK when the downtime was meant to be ocurring, and Live was still up.
