Hey there everybody!
Just a small little review on the new XBL changes! These are just my thoughts so please, let me know what you think!
For those who don't know, Live was due to have a complete uphaul to system, with a more cleaner and user friendly dashboard and basic Online experience. However, Microsoft didn't expect what the first two hours of their new interface would do to many gamers worldwide. At approximately 3pm AEST (Austalian Eastern Seaboard Time), the new update was available to all 360 game consoles across the globe. However, the update threw people offline and then once completed, denying them of Online Access, not only on their console, but on Xbox.com too. Estimates show that 89% of all 360 Gamers online weren't able to access their account and Live, while small pockets had little to no trouble. Microsoft have claimed that the issue is due to the original 360, not having the memory or capacity to hold the data. This cannot be true, as it affected me as well, and I have the Slim model.
An hour later, the service was able to work once again, but for some, crashed once more. Finally, a half hour later, the servers were fixed and it seems to be smooth sailing now.
This was an unprecidented bump in the road, but for now, seems to be doing fine. This event, though, has raised the eyebrows of many of the community. Many people are enjoying the new format, but are still cautious to what it has done already.
But these are just my thoughts and some facts. Tell me what you think!
I'll be posting a new episode of Fatman's Gaming Tips shortly, where it shows off some of the new features!
Thanks for reading!
