I can't even see what Call of Duty 4 is like online.

I've played the beta and full game at my cousin's house. Such a great game.

I just have trouble finding it in stores recently.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

It seems XBL is going incredibly slow lately, making me think twice about getting a Gold membership (though maybe it's slow because I'm silver :P). I certainly hope they fix the problem soon because it's annoying.

Now I'm having trouble getting a gold membership because it errored out when trying to pay for it saying it couldn't retrieve my info. Good job microsoft.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

doesn't matter if you're gold or silver. The only time it's been slow was for Halo 3's launch when just about everyone was logged on.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Yeah, its been pretty damn buggy for me the past few days.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Anyone know if there is a specific port you can open for XBL so you can make the Moderate NAT setting turn to normal. Doubt it would affect much but just curious if there is anything that doesn't work as well with a Moderate setting.

So apparently you can't buy anything right now on it, since I tried to get a gold membership, and buy points, but kept getting the cannot retrieve your info. This is pretty frustrating, and I better not see 4 charges on my credit card in a couple of days.

Users may experience intermittent issues logging onto Xbox Live. Our engineers are continuing to investigate and are working to resolve this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Hurray, and apparently purchasing from the site doesn't work either.

This action cannot be performed at this time. Please try again later.

Ya it keeps telling me that I cannot sign in at all. But when I put in Gears it lets me. Although as soon as I leave Gears it signs me back out of LIVE. So I cannot go to the marketplace or anything. I hate my life.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Well it seems there is quite an uproar on xbox.com and this has been happening to some extent for weeks now, but M$ assures us they're 'working on it'.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

I am glad... For a while I was thinking Something was wrong with my LIVE or even worse my 360.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Oh and for anyone ever curious on the status of Live itself http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/?WT.svl=nav.

And apparently the ports needed for Live are
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074

Happened to me too but I was so busy playing mass effect that I didn't noticed.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Ya that is pretty much what I have been doing nonstop as well. I just beat it today though... So now I am addicted to Assassins Creed.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Apparently they're planning "something" for Gold members (Shagadelic!) to make up for the inconvenience. But they're not saying what yet.

Looks like we're getting a free Arcade game as an apology for the slowdown. I just hope it's something cool instead of, you know, Bankshot Billiards.

Maybe that fancy shooter Microsoft has been working on.

Re: anyone else having XBL trouble tonight?

Wow that is pretty cool.

Ya I was able to get on with no trouble today.
Hurray!
