I was having problems with Live about four weeks ago, the people saying they haven't had any issues in two years must not be going on Live regularly. Part of me understands that nothing is perfect and so give MS some leeway to fix issues that no one has really had to deal with before. The other half of me is pissed off because I'm paying for a service that I can't access through no fault of my own. In the end it's only hurting MS. A lot of "new" 360 owners are going to try the free trial, think that Live sucks ass, and not pay for membership. I imagine MS is frantic at the moment sweating over how many new memberships they COULD have gotten if not for these issues. What would you think of you were a new 360 owner and couldn't even log on to Live? MS is doing it's typical "don't talk about it and maybe no one will notice" way of doing business. Instead of being as forthcoming as possible with information, they leave it to the paying customer to hunt down any sparse information they can get. Unfortunately, Wii and PS3 online are a joke at the moment, so there's not much of an alternative for online console gaming.
