Major Nelson has informed us that Xbox Live will be <a href="http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/09/23/xbox-live-service-maintenance.aspx">undergoing maintenance</a> starting Monday morning (or <em>really</em> 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 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/new-xbox-experience">New Xbox Experience</a> (or NXE as the kids call it) which will be landing on Xbox 360s sometime later this year. The maintenance will <strong><em>not</em></strong> 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 <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/risk/">RISK</a>.<br /><br />[Image: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hypertypos/2471386354/">hypertypos</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/23/dont-cry-xbox-live-is-down-on-monday/">Don't cry, Xbox Live is down on Monday</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:45:00 EST.

Before you start making your "Spring Dash Update is Nigh!" signs, we're being told this is a routine process that will go on in the early hours of the morning. In the meantime you should play the <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Battlefiled-Bad-Company/">Battlefield: Bad Company</a></em> beta or <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Halo3/">Halo 3</a></em> online or <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/cod4">Call of Duty 4</a></em> multiplayer.
