An Open Letter from Marc Whitten about Xbox LIVE this Holiday

Published January 3, 2008



Dear Xbox LIVE Members:

During this past holiday season you helped us break a number of Xbox LIVE records. This included our largest sign-up of new members to Xbox LIVE in our 5 year history and just yesterday you broke the record for the single biggest day of concurrent members ever on the service.

As a result of this massive increase in usage we know that some of you experienced intermittent Xbox LIVE issues over the holiday break. While the service was not completely offline at any given time, we are disappointed in our performance. I would like to take this moment to thank you each and every one of you for your patience and understanding as our team has worked around the clock to return the service to a stable state.

At the same time we would like to offer a token of our appreciation to all of you in celebration of record success for the service. And as a thank you for your loyalty during this holiday period, we will be offering all of our Xbox LIVE members around the world access to a full Xbox LIVE Arcade game that will be available to download free of charge. In the coming weeks we will be sharing the specific details of this offer with you.

Thank you again for helping make Xbox LIVE everything that it is today!

Sincerely,

Marc Whitten

General Manager, Xbox LIVE

not that great

[ExcruciationX]

I agree with lmtlmt. It still doesn't work!

[Triv1um]

Just to let you know PSN is working great. :D

Nah, I hope the XBL gets back up, and the players get good compensation. XML costs so everyday its down people are effectively loosing money.

Well i'm too sure about what they're doing until I get the full details on what's happening.

One thing we do need is a DCemu gathering on halo that'd be great.
