We go ahead and announce a social gaming night (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/04/x3f-live-halo-3-tonight-and-our-new-social-gamertag-for-the-x3f/) and Xbox Live goes and hits the slow setting! According to some readers, Xbox Live is experiencing slowdown reminiscent of the Holiday '07 (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/12/31/unhappy-xbox-live-users-demand-compensation/) debacle. The general guess is that the popularity of the recently released Call of Duty 4 map pack (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/04/04/cod4-variety-map-pack-now-available/) may have a hand in the current network situation.
While some readers are experiencing login issues, download errors and general feeling of the service being dragged through molasses, we've been receiving friend requests for the last hour and a half for tonight's big game while connected to Xbox Live without any issues other than a slow performance from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Even though Xbox Live is acting up we're still trucking along with tonight's X3F Live! So make sure to add the gamertag X3FLIVE (http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=X3FLIVE) to your Friend's list. Hey, now that we think about it, maybe the lag will help with our sniping!
