Users have been sending us tips and Xbox.com confirms that some Xbox Live members are experiencing technical issues with the service -- specifically with signing in. According to the Xbox.com Support page, Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working to resolve the problem. They also thank gamers for their patience and understanding but something tells us those thanks will fall on deaf ears. X3F will keep you updated as more information is released. Until then, go check out our Holiday Game and Rating Guide and get those wish lists ready for Santa. Or, get out the pitchforks. That works too, we guess.
[Update: According to Major Nelson's Twitter, Xbox Live should be functioning normally at this time. However, Xbox.com now appears to be experiencing some problems. Is Xbox Live working for you?]
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

I encountered 4 problems over the weekend:
1. Could not hear some members of party in game (Halo 3) but fine in the lobby.
2. Got booted from XBL and upon loggin in could not extablish a connection to XBL. After testing, it suggested reseting my modem which solved the problem.
3. After logging back in to XBL and watching an episosde of Faulty Towers on my Netflix Cue, it said I needed a gold membership to watch Netflix. Odd since I do have a gold membership and I had just been watching my cue.
4. One member of our Halo 3 party was not allowed in the Squad Battle playlist indicating she did not have a gold account (which she does) - yet could play in any other of the Halo playlists.

It was down for about 25 minutes for me, big deal.. My cable tv goes out a couple times a month for a few minutes, my cable internet goes out sometimes, my cell loses it's signal sometimes. It happens people, calm down, grow up.
