It will be down for a total for a 48 hour rampage to all those XBL fans Im telling you guys!


How exactly do you know this? You said you called XBox Live and they told you this, well I called XBox/Xbox Live and all I got was a pre-recorded message telling me that the Customer Service department was closed. Is there a different number than 1-800-4My-XBox ? if so..please share because I would love to call and find out exactly what they have to say.

You don't have to connect your xbox, as Xbox.com is supposed to go back online at the same time. I just have two browser tabs open, switching between this and xbox.com.


good idea.

Your stats are not stored on xbox.com, they are stored on Bungie servers. Only your online status, friends list and gamercard are stored on xbox.com.

xbox are officially liars for saying that it would be down for 24 hours. the update they are doing will affect ALL xbox 360's that have xbox live on them, first gen boxes will have nothing new, there actually probably wont be anything new, or at least that you can tell.. its all internal

mwaaahahahah i have the inside view... working for the best company on the planet, besides bungie

Ok, I'm out. But before I go, I think I need to establish a rule: Next person that asks anything along the lines of "are the ranks getting reset or are there going to be new maps?" dies a painful death tomorrow when a piano falls onto their head. Ok, so we all in agreement on this rule? Good.

And if you try and look at your Gamertag it says No Games Played, So, Could it be possible, Whilst Xbox is going down, Bungie might possibly be changimg something, Or am i just taking a wild stab in the Dark? - Richie :)

Yes, that's quite possible, and why I said "supposed to". You never know, but it does save some time.

* gasp * the games played have been reset. I don't know why, those aren't supposed to be stored on xbox.com. I could be wrong though.

Check your Halo 2 Stats page. The list of games played is still there, but the ranking page has been nullified. Again, could be nothing, but has me a little suprised.
