Microsoft delivered this kind statement on the Xbox outages this Holiday break.  Seems like the news is nothing to cry about.

The statement:

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.

Marc Whitten
General Manager, Xbox LIVE

Thanks Microsoft, but what about some Microsoft Points for the wait buddies…

This blog all started on October 11th, 2007, I thought to myself “why am i doing this?” then I realized, one, I love gaming and it’s community and two, because I have met so many friends along the way. This post is for these people. I wish them so much success in the future in whatever they want to do.

You were the one who saw me grow the most. You helped me on my writing and would feed me anything in gaming. You were so inviting with your site and the experience writing for you was amazing. I started with all my PS3 Demo reviews then you actually let me go on the front page. All the events we would cover were great and because of you, I wanted to start my own blog. I always loved gaming but you were the one who brought me into the nitty gritty of gaming. I appreciate everything you have done for me. So for that, Thank You.

You guided me through anything and everything. Your love for the Xbox Community inspires me. You were there since the very beginning. You were my first friend I ever met in the Gaming blog community and your still at the top of my list. Every question I have ever asked you, you have always spoon fed or directed me to the solution. If you didn’t have the answer, you would still give me something to help me with my problem. The “Blog Banter” is a huge success I think and I can’t wait to write more with the blogging group (Who ever wants to join the Blog Banter go to HawtyMcBloggy.com
and you can contact her there). So again, Thank you for all your kind words and hospitality. Thanks

So excited to jump on Live and own some people on Halo 3 but then you realize, wait, I can’t find a game and I have been sitting here for the passed 30 minutes trying to find one. Well, your not, why? Microsoft is having a little dilemma with Xbox Live. Here is what they had to say:

“You may have noticed that the LIVE service has been having a few issues over the past few days. This includes things like signing in, matchmaking and account recovery. Not everyone has had problems, but I know some of you have and I wanted to give you and update. While the service was never completely offline, problems like this are not acceptable. The entire LIVE team has been working day and night to ensure that you can have a great LIVE experience. While we’re not done yet, I wanted to let you know that things are getting better each hour and that no one on the team is going anywhere until the job is done. Thanks for your patience.”

So Microsoft, how about a free month for my troubles?
