Start stocking up on canned foods and survival gear, folks. One week from today, the Xbox Live service will be going down for server maintenance. According to Major Nelson's most recent blog post, Microsoft is flipping the "off" switch at 12:01 a.m. on June 16, and is expected to keep things offline for "up to 24 hours." Yes, for an entire day, the vile hatred and foul-mouthedness that consumes the online gaming universe will be freed from its fiberglass prison and released into the physical world. We humbly suggest staying indoors.

The maintenance should not cause any problems with hard drive not recognizing. You should be able to get on any of your games and play them as if you did not have high speed internet, as I am doing right now. Hope it starts working again for you...

You mean I can't play call of duty 4. I get thirsty spredding blood all over the place.
What will I do now??? Mirosoft! I guess beating my meat on the toilet seat can get me off. If it don't, I will be one SOB when I get back online.
