If you remember a little over a month ago, I posted some interesting facts as it pertains to the crowd that gathers around Unsripted 360 day to day, month to month etc. Since I’m sure you all are nutcases by now with the scheduled maintenance going on, I figured I’d run through more interesting facts a month later.
These things are interesting tidbits involving keywords, countries and other things that I find interesting when I browse through some of U360’s stats. Again, I’ll list the top 2-5 things in each category. Discuss if you must.

Apparently a lot of people are having trouble with connecting to Xbox LIVE as well. The My Xbox updates better be good or we’re going to have 1000 “this update sucks” or “what was the update?” threads
October 18th, 2006 at 7:58 am
i don’t think we’ll be able to get past those types of threads regardless lol
October 18th, 2006 at 8:01 am
is LIVE still down? I thought it would have been up by now.
October 18th, 2006 at 8:04 am
it’s probably slowly getting back up to speed but major nelson reported that it was up…so it’s up…probably just working out some kinks.
October 18th, 2006 at 8:24 am
Hopefully…Xbox.com lost their database records and my account has been restored. LOL!!!!
October 18th, 2006 at 9:01 am
yah i still cant connect to LIVE. im in Colorado MST hopefully it’ll be back uo soon. I went through all of my connections and power cycled my router in case.
Im playing Saints Row though so its not so bad

I imagine they have backups for their backups, but good luck with that
October 18th, 2006 at 10:04 am
They should anyway…but is it MS and no doubt running on MS servers so foul ups like that certainly cannot be ruled out.

Forums still don’t work it seems. Whenever I hit the Sign In page that comes up, it just goes back to Xbox.com

Live is up, but not working properly, same goes for xbox.com. Apparently something went terribly wrong, it might be awhile before they trach down the problem…I wonder if e can go two days without any sleep without killing anyone
October 18th, 2006 at 12:23 pm
everyone is itching to be the first to post a “WTF” thread i’m sure. i’ve read a few comments here and there (especially on Major Nelson’s site) and the people are in a rage ..it’s unbelievable really the reaction.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
People are in a rage? No big deal to me.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
yeah rage was putting it lightly. most of them are calling for a day of credit to their Xbox Live account lol
October 18th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
No forums??? WHO CARES!!!
Serves you guys right.
just kidding, hahaha

You know, that thought crossed my mind about Live being down so long.
As for the forums, heck I hope they never come back!
October 18th, 2006 at 12:47 pm
i don’t need the credit…i mean there are days upon days throughout the year that i don’t play on Xbox Live..so i guess i’ll chalk one of those up as a maintenance day…i can’t believe that some people play everyday, all day as their complaints seem to suggest.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:51 pm
Almost one year…haven’t missed a single day. There have been times when my 360 blog didn’t register that day but I was there.

I don’t think this is the case for many, it’s the fact that they could have played today and their just looking for compensation, I’m sure Trixie will lots of nice things to say about the…dedicated fans and their…strong opinions.
October 18th, 2006 at 1:01 pm
In honesty I could care less about this lost day. But I will stress this makes a total of 3 days over he past year Live has been down. Thats nearly a 1% downtime rate.
ISO 9600 standards for enterprise datacenter uptime call for 99.9%. This means that MS (of all organizations) has failed this industry standard almost 10 times over.
Just food for thought.

That is interesting, maybe just maybe this update is to prevent having to take everything down in the future…unlikely but it would certainly redeem them. If not they will also need to take down the service for the dashboard update this fall.
October 18th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
Once again, who gives a crap? Go play some Splinter Cell.

I think I have at least signed on to xbox live everyday ive had my console unless the internet was out at my house. So it will be a year on jan. 6th for me
October 18th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
I played Full Auto that I bought for $9 last night. I have 480 achievement points that need to be uploaded.

Where did u get it for $9? Gamestop
October 18th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
well i don’t look at Xbox Live in the same token as i do my internet service…the internet i use everyday…Xbox Live i use when i want to play multiplayer games…and i don’t want to do that everyday ya know lol
but then i’ve never been big on multiplayer..i’ll forever be a single player first guy so having Live with its kinks right now hardly affects me.
but i do know that it does in fact affect a lot of people who are just the opposite of me…some people do get on Xbox Live everyday as Harp and Higgy have pointed out that they do.

Brand new at my local EB Games store.

Full Auto is awesome.
October 18th, 2006 at 3:37 pm
People really want fourteen cents back? You could find that on the street if you really wanted.
October 18th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
people are insane… i’d take Splinter Cell Double Agent anyday. no skin off my back.

October 18th, 2006 at 8:01 pm
Damn, i’ve been looking for a place to go while the boards we’re down. WTF is going on?!…lol.
October 18th, 2006 at 8:15 pm
Now that it appears the outtage will end up lasting at least 2 full days I don’t think this is only about 28 cents here. It’s about expectations, competencies, business practices and most of all accountability. In the real world at least if servers of such high value were down for this long heads would roll. For some reason though there is a “just a game” mentaility that seems to excuse it when it comes to Xbox Live. I certainly expect that Bill Gates has taken notice at this point.
a) this update better show some signs of visible and justifiable value.
b) appropreate action needs to be taken toward those responsible.
c) this needs to not happen again for awhile.
It’s starting to get pretty embarassing really. Here we are near the eve of the PS3 and the people running the single greatest selling point of the 360…Xbox Live don’t have their act together. Couple this with the “killer app” GOW multiplayer fiasco and a reasonable person will have to wonder who is shooting themselves in the foot more, Sony or MS?
October 18th, 2006 at 8:24 pm
Wow, Larry had to turn comments off on his site to squelch the bloodbath. Only registered users (mostly fanboys) can post there now.
Time for Gates to clean house. The problem I fear though is that the Live subscribership is a fickle and easily appeased crowd. MS need only give a free download or something to make most people forget about the whole incident.
October 18th, 2006 at 10:13 pm
ok this is crazy. all im gonna say is something very wrong must of happend. Its really wierd not being able to access the forums. I just been going to mygamercard.net.

I saw the site just now and the article said that they would have the forums back in 24 hours so they will be back on tommorow the 19th.
October 18th, 2006 at 11:03 pm
Oh my God, the Xbox 360 will fail because the forums are down!1111
October 19th, 2006 at 7:38 am
LOL…no the forums will not make or break 360, especially since most users don’t even seem to know about them. Personally I was hopeing they wouldn’t return at all.
The egg on their face for having Live gameplay down for almost 2 days is another story.
October 20th, 2006 at 2:08 pm
The facts are about what I expected from this tech-heavy crowd.
Everyone knows that MS updates their software and if you were on XBL before the update, then you definitely saw the warning. So XBL being down for a little over a day is no big deal to the vast majority of gamers. There’s always going to be the Drama Queens that will make a mountain out of an ant hill. Thank the Lord, they are a very, very small minority.
And besides, you were still able to play your Xbox360.
