Or is it the April Fool's?

This will be my first April Fool's here.

It seems such an odd day to schedule it. They must of realised how many customers would be overly paranoid of anything to do with the first of April.

If it is an April Fools joke, it has nothing to do with Bungie.

That's what I thought when I read the message. Why not March 31st, in the early morning. Heck it isn't even on a Monday, it's a Tuesday. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was somewhat on purpose.

Hello.

They chose a bad day to do this, if it is legit.

  • 03.28.2008 9:41 PM PDT

Hello.

They might be updating the dashboard or something and three hours downtime dosen't bother me. I doubt Xbox live would make a joke like this, especially on this massive widespread level.

True. To tell the truth I am kind of paranoid about this myself. We will see how it plays out.

That is an April Fool's joke if ever I saw one.

  • 03.28.2008 11:51 PM PDT

Whether it is or not, did you ever think they scheduled it on April first just to get you guys thinking about it :P?

Makes me wonder if they're doing something in anticipation of April Fools' Day attacks on the XBL service. Who knows...

It would be a terrible April fool's joke if it was. I see a slight upgrade prior to the spring dash update.

That's actually really good reasoning.

I bet there is some hacker out there willing to turn every item on the marketplace into a Barbie Horse Adventure Demo.

Why is everyone saying that they're "paranoid" about this? If it's a joke, then it's a pretty lame one, if it's not, then who cares? It's three hours. Go play basketball or something with all the free time you'll have.

Halifax is right, 3 hours without Xbox Live, if you can't sleep at night because of it, don't bother trying to get a girlfriend...

  • 03.29.2008 2:53 AM PDT

Ehh, I used to have a sig, then I stopped posting here for a long time and it sorta outdated itself, so know I'm stuck with this till I actually start posting again and comeup with something interesting to say.

Maybe they're taking the service down to add an update whereby every 360 shows Three Red Lights if you try to play it on April 1st.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I would definitely say it is legitimate. April first is a Tuesday, and Tuesdays, specifically the mornings, are commonly selected for server and other maintenance as they see the lowest amount of online activity.

I'd say it's coincidence and nothing more.

ZeroRhapsody loves the Chief. You should too :).

I may have only got my 360 last weekend but it looks pretty legit...if it was an April fools day thing surely they'd come up with something better than going off for three hours. Obviouslyyyy.
