+Warwagon MVC Posted June 20, 2013 MVC Share Posted June 20, 2013 I heard on the live broadcast currrently of Windows Weekly and I googled it and it appears Xbox live and xbox.com is currently down. This makes the case on why DRM which requires your console to phone Microsoft is a bad idea. Then again, I wish they would have kept the DRM in place and have their servers go offline at launch. That would be been hilarious! Torolol 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graimer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Works fine here in Europe. Btw, you know the limit was 24 hours, right? so If they're back up in let's say 1 hour or less, you would have to be PRETTY unlucky to be locked out of gaming even with a check-in requirement :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Lyons10 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My phone is able to connect no problem. But yeah, this is not helping their argument about the phone in. LOL winrez 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaP Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They're not Sony (who has services down for months...). You don't have to worry about MS services being down for long. That's probably why something like 3 or 4 years ago i was not able to play XBox Live for most of the christmas time period. They gave us a free game for that. A crap game called Undertow i think.

George P Global Moderator Posted June 20, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2013 It's fine now, and it might not have effected everyone but select groups as it was a network issue, no servers died or anything. Besides, it was fixed quick I'd say. kaotic 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graimer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Except if you hadn't played for a few days you would be over your 24 hours. :whistle: That's why I said it would be pretty unlucky to hit that ex. 1 hour downtime that happends once a year.

HawkMan Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Even if you hadn't played for a few days, the Xbox one is "always on always connected". I figure the 24 hour authentication was refreshing at least every 60 minutes even when off maybe as much as every 10 minutes. so unless you physically pulled the plug or disables the Internet. it wouldn't affect you. spenser.d 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 20, 2013 Veteran Share Posted June 20, 2013 I couldn't connect earlier but it was resolved pretty quickly. At least from when I tried to connect to it coming back online, that is :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsis Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They're not Sony (who has services down for months...). You don't have to worry about MS services being down for long. That happened ONCE. For A month. Because anon tried to hack them. ###### happens, they learned from it. Down times like this don't happen any more on the PSN than they do on the 360. But regardless, MS has much more experience with online-anything, obviously they'll have less issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
