PSU-XBox 360: question about xbox live being down

[youthisoverrated]

so if xbox live is down does that mean we can't play PSU? or can we still play because it's different servers?

[-Crokar-]

cant play

[NPCMook]

Since you have to be connected to Xbox live to connect... no unfortunately we can not play online. This also puts a damper on all the other Multi-player Xbox games...

[youthisoverrated]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[NPCMook]

Just means you gotta play some of those offline games you've always been meaning to finish XD

[Tahldon]

Armored Core 4, here I come!

I will have a bit of withdrawl though.. knowing that I hunted -all day- for that Rabol Rappy. I'm addicted..

Gotta have.. teh rappeh armorz!!

[omegapirate2k]

Armored core 4 looks cool, but I'd probably regret buying it, oh well :/

[youthisoverrated]

XD "I sleep when Xbox live is down"

[DarkEliteRico]

sucks, i woke up and can't connect
oh hell guess i'll actually make breakfast for once

[New_One]

Is everybody getting a 'failed' in MTU then? Is that normal for a maintenance?

[Magician]

Just another six and a half hours to go.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

...glad I'm at work for once.

[DarkEliteRico]

time to spam extra mode, i want to find another whitill wing

[MayLee]

Looks like I'll be playing Crackdown and DOA4

[Zero-mx]

Does X-box Live go down very often or is it every once in awhile. I guess that would also affect OmegaPirate's sleep schedule...

Actually, it rarely goes down, I think.

Omega sleeps? XD

[ShadowTH1000]

This is the first time I heard that it went down for maintenance. Then again... I've only had the console since November (not counting that time that Live had a problem in December).

iamgir42 how did you get a Prinny as your live picture thing?

I sleep when you don't need me, maylee.

[MayLee]

Hey, I called on you one time and you didn't have to stay up with me. >=(

[CyarVictor]

Back to Armor Core 4. Offline is a little downer, but I can test and creat Nexts for online once Live is back up. How long will Live be down for?

[DarkEliteRico]

i need to look you up again MayLee, i hate waiting around for some of my regulars sometimes, you know plenty of people on here (i think)

[DarkEliteRico]

Should be for another 6 hrs or so, hell i might turn on the PS2 and play some more god of war 2

Lol the day Xbox Live is down is the day I can sham from work the most! My lunch started at 10:10 today as opposed to the usual 11:30. Doesn't that suck? Geez. I guess it's on to AC4 for me.

Psh.. and to think.. Newmans have 2 luck today! I could be getting good stuff from teh rappehs!

Yeeeeeaaah I COULD have refused your "request", but meh, it was already 4 in the morning, whether I went to sleep at 4 or 5 really didn't matter to me XD

I think I'll answer that. One way to do it is the vision cam. The Vision Cam comes with the utility to take any picture with it, and put it as the Profile pic.

My guess is that this is the big huge spring update, we've been hearing about, considering the length of time it needs for it. I figure it'll come up with a laundry list of improvements and extras. (Though some of those are back-end and hidden from the user)

It happens maybe once or twice a year, when they add the next batch of services.

Omega: You are so evil! No more deadly delicious cakes for you! >_<

DarkEliteRico: Sure, if other people are not too busy doing their poopy S2 runs.

XBL goes down for maintenance two or three times a year.

[DarkEliteRico]

they have a picture pack from penny arcade. i bought all of em lol.

i went to work for 3 hours and now am trying to clean things and make sure most of my cords are out of the way. i'm so bored....

edit:

and it's not the srping dashboard update. it's server matanice and lets hope they don't mess it up like one of the last ones, where nothing worked right for a couple days. but yeah this only happens maybe once very few months and hopefully we should be getting a dashboard update soon, since it is spring and all. back to cleaning w00t!

I knew you remade Shizuru's Pearl! I found it a little strange when I checked your partner card and saw that character only being around level 5 or so. She was about level 6x, wasn't she? That sucks, it was the first FF Caseal I'd ever seen. You kicked ass with your axe, dude. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

She's shorter now (and will be a fortefighter again). It's for my comic book. The once tall and mighty buttkicker is now a small child who seems to have trouble getting to the top bunkbed of her room.

[Tahldon]

Hm.. How odd. I thought that the maintainence would be over at 1PM Central time. Guess I was wrong.

Ah well.. I should go reread the announcement..

Well I went to IGN.com and reread the announcement. It wasn't 2PM EST, it was 2PM Pacific So.. I guess that's 4 for us.. then.

Xbox Live still down for everybody else, right?

It was so supposed to be up already. I guess it's only natural for the maintenance to take a bit longer. As long as it doesn't last well after 8PM or something. >>;

[Omnishot]

8PM you say?
*Twitch*
I don't know about all that. What I do know is that I need my daily fix.

[A2K]

http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/03/27/3-27-07-maintenance-update.aspx

Looks like it'll be a bit longer, but no solid times given.

[youthisoverrated]

yeah it's still not on for me. i wonder when it's going to be on. if anyone can actually get on post it so we know http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Yeah.. I'm kind of dying here too.. Soon I'll be finished with AC4 ...if this keeps up.. o.o It'll be the seco...wait..f..yeah the first game I've beaten in a LONG time.

(I suffer from FGBS = Frequent Game Buyer Syndrome. I never finish the ones I'm playing before buying a new one and abandoning the one in which I was playing. Happened with Enchanted Arms, Saint's Row, Superman, Oblivion ...the list goes on..)

[HyperDrachen]

Uh oh few things rais the pulse like a 14 hour schedualed maintanence that runs overdue : (.
I needed that PSU relaxation time before i go to work.

Guess I'll just troll the boards.

[Sharkyland]

Rrgh... you sometimes wonder why somethings take this long...

most of the time when it's the mtu it's on microsoft's end. if it's anything else then yeah it's your internet. lol i try and stay away from microsoft's tech support as much as humanly possible......

[Tahldon]

Man.. My level 2 Luck is going to waste.. I probably could've found that Rabol Rappy Armor by now..

And I'm almost done with Armored Core 4.. Just beat all the simulator paks..

lol I never knew how addicted I was to Xbox LIve until now..

[orbital]

tell me about it im getting serious withdrawal...

[Chaobo99]

yes Me and Luna could have probally found the Halp Serafi by now x_x..or at least some Serafi feathers...

[DarthBlocks]

Last time they had live maintenence it was during the beta and they said 12hrs but it took 20 so figure around 8pm est time

[orbital]

It was "Back end" Server stuff. You know.. sometimes they gotta maintain the servers and all also. Otherwise it'd get all buggy, slow, and annoying. It's all for the better.

Although.. like most of you. I'm really hating the wait.

[Calamity]

ya today i was bout to get back on xbox live and play for awhile and when i get home my mtu isnt workin and i didnt what that is untill i got on here but i'll survive

[Tahldon]

You know.. today must have been the BEST Sham day for me at work. I got a 2 and a half hour lunch today AND I got off work 2 hours early!

Isn't it so Ironic? No XBL the entire time. It's my best worst day >.<

[SiGeL]

I wanted to enjoy my day of 2* luck by finally hunting down some items i've been trying for, but nooo.

[adamov]

This is a bummer. Oh well off to do the one thing I did not want to do on my day off. Clean my house. See you online.

[-Crokar-]

shadowrun is awsome by the way.

[TouchOfRed]

it's 8 30 and still no connection....

[youthisoverrated]

the bad thing about this though, is when they do this we don't get that time extra on our accounts. so there's a day or so that we lose.

[Sharkyland]

They haven't completed the Xbox games to Xbox360 conversion, have they? Though they could've done that on an update. Of course, that one time when the login server was down, they might be putting up a higher security and it's failing for them (oh god, don't tell me that's true).
