Is The Facebook and Twitter Update Killing Xbox Live?This is a featured page

If you have recently tried to access Xbox Live, you will get the following error message:

“Some Xbox LIVE content is temporarily unavailable. You can still access your profile, communicate with other players, and play games online.
The content will automatically appear when it’s available.
Status Code: 8007274c”

Although it states you can ‘play games online’ a few users have been complaining on popular Xbox forums that some games, including Modern Warfare 2, can not be accessed. The same problem doesn’t seem to apply to all from what we’ve heard so far but it’s still causing problems for some.

No proper confirmation but we assume this problem is being caused by the recent Xbox Live update which included Twitter and Facebook integration, Last.fm, Zune, and news / video channels. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m officially tired of this shit. This week we discovered that Microsoft is planning on making their Facebook and Twitter apps for Xbox Live free to Gold members, but only giving Silver members a trial. Microsoft is effectively charging for services that are 100% free. Let’s start from the top shall we. Earlier this week in a press release for the 360 price drop there was a footnote in... Read More

click on image to enlarge Now that the Xbox 360 Elite has officially dropped in price and killed off the Pro, it was only a matter of time before there’d be a new rumor to pin on Microsoft’s console.

Idiots on Xbox Live

August 27th, 2009 | No Comments »

Anyone who has played a multiplayer game on Xbox Live has undoubtedly met one of these fuck stools. They are the bane of the online gaming world and need to be dealt with. America passed the Patriot Act, let’s put it to good use for once and track down these intellectually under developed pole smokers. The question is what do we do with them once we have them? What measure of pain should we inflict... Read More

Batman: Arkham Asylum

August 25th, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Rocksteady manages to combine combat, stealth, storytelling, and cartoon voices into the best digital Batman simulator we’ve seen to date. For me, the official Batman games have been so disappointing, that I don’t even bother naming any as “the best Batman” game; depending on my mood, that epithet belongs to either Splinter Cell or Assassin’s Creed. Those two franchises... Read More
