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.

We may see Microsoft getting rid of a few of the new updates if this can not be solved. Either that or a temporary removal will be in order but this may not be the cause of the problem. It may just be a simple over average usage of Xbox Live, like we saw with the recent 20 million online record.
