As Major Nelson noted this week, Xbox Live would be seeing some downtime earlier this morning. The service is still offline, however, creating panic in many a shut-in, school skipping seventh grader, and news writers with nothing to do before going to their full time job.
Until the service is online, we suggest you go outside and enjoy the sunlight (or snow if you’re in the west.) Perhaps eating a fine pizza/ chicken wing/ 2 litre coke luncheon in front of your grease-stained desktop, if that’s your bag. Or you could, you know, play some single player stuff and stack up some Achievements. Check back in a couple hours, Live should be online by then.
