over xmas break, xbox live will probably implode

it's happened before, and chances are likely that all the lemmings will pile into xbl at the same time and bring it to its knees. so what good is the xbl fee? other than for lining m$ pockets?

ur speculating and asking what the fee is good for? When it didn't happen and wont happen? ridiculous thread

Been gaming on Xbox Live for over five years and I don't recall that incident.

A year or 2 ago (I don't remember when exactly) Xbox Live crashed around christmas because of the sudden rush of people using it. TO compensate, M$ let every one download a certain game for free.

why should that be any of your business, its way better than boo hoo'ng by waiting hours tah find other

players online which seems to be the case with psn :?

It wont happen this year, they will be ready for it.

Well this year there is no Halo 3 or CoD4 so i wouldent worry too much

CoD6 alone? dont make me laugh

I'd say the chances are slim. The xbl outage happened 2 years ago, and didn't happen last year (in part because microsoft was prepared for the surge). I'm looking forward to getting plenty of time in on xbl over the next few weeks without problems. enjoy your PSN experience! say, how's the Killzone community doing?shaggygrosser

its doing pretty awesome, lots of good games going on there last night. i played for a couple hours with a lot of skilled players (well, better than me thats for sure)

Gotta love the poll results. Can't say I am surprised :roll:

Well I don't see why that would happen. It just doesn't seem plausible.

probably not, but it has happened so i guess anything is possible. paying for a service that may crash.InfiniteBlak

AS for that we have here...Xbox live, a 30-50 dollar a year service with so many members that some times at its peak times during the holiday part of the year its brought to its knees from the 10-20 million people logging on... its usually back up quickly though.

then we have psn...a free service that couldn't get that many users even if sony paid you to get online...if it ever was taken down by sheer user numbers id be down for 5 months cause sony sucks at the software end of things.

considering they had 2M concurrent users on not that long ago and it seemed to work fine, I dont think there will be any problems

Now PSN on the other hand...

Well it happend two years ago, I'm sure MS will prepare for it this time. Dec 26-Jan1 is like a dead week... the only thing you can do during the day is play your new games.

I love Undertow lol no but i hope it crashes i kinda want another xbl arcade game.
