XBL seems to be shitting the bed: Xbox Live is down, for the eighth time in as many days

LOL 2500 people.

just for EVO, awww yeahhhh PS4 2:1 leader this gen'

Still the 1 BABY..

awwww yeaahhh

SFV has broken the record for the most entrants at Evo in a single game! This is going to be a crazy year!

where is halo 5? LOL

You do know that SFV connects between PC and PS4 right?

Keep trying though.

No need to feel sorry, I dont believe in cyber bullying.

First post and first sentence. Damage control by deflection. Kingtito would say anyhing to defend his MS overlords so whatever.

When you quote your own quote it shows you are all pumped up for the cause @Heil68

godspeed and hail Sony

You mean like the DCing you've been doing in this thread? You live in a glass house? Perhaps you shouldn't throw stones.

The only DC here is from lemmings trying to move the goal posts and deflect from the shit that XBL is.

There's been no goal post moving. Cows are trying to use the recent problems with LIVE as some sort of ownage KNOWING PSN has been a shit show since day 1. That 30 day down period being the pincical yet YOU come in here DCing trying to say it was only down because Sony wanted to ensure quality. DCing is DCing and you're doing a lot of it in this thread.

Glad I'm not the only that noticed..

PSN is better than XBL this whole gen. Stop crying about past times when Sony offered PSN for free.

PSN games > XBL games

PSN stability > XBL stability

PSN features > XBL features

Powerful you say, can PS4 run Crysis?

Xbox Live will always be leaps and bounds superior than PSN any second of any minute of any day of any week of any month of any year.

As long as XBL works at 6am EST when I do Xbox Fitness I'm good. And once it gets warm outside I won't even need that. Both services have been spotty but XBL has had more than its share of problems lately. Rocket League on XB1 has been a nightmare. Halo has been iffy and the download speeds have been garbage.

I will check back in and trash PSN as well. I finally got my SFV CE but the wife and I are watching Black Mass first. This movie better be good.

Yeah, why get Lords of the Fallen, Witcher 2 and Deus Ex HR when I can get Mercenary Kings and Guacamelee for the 9th time

Last time I checked, XBL never went down for an entire day at a time, and server wide. Right now I'm watching people on Twitch play Halo 5 and Garden Warfare 2 with no issue, didn't see any Destiny players on PS4 when it was down for an entire day last month

Hell yeah, screw Xbox Live, PSN is where it's at with it's measly 10gbs of cloud storage, it's inability to change PSN ID's, it's inability to appear offline, and those glorious P2P servers. Why have lightning fast net codes in Halo 5 and Killer Instinct when I can play on those amazing lag infested servers on PSN with Uncharted

I love stupid people, they're so easy to make fun of. They practically give you ammo

It's becoming more and more obvious you don't own a X1, much less know anything about XBL.

I'm guessing you enjoy paying for PS Now as well.

PSN is just another example of why Playstation gamers are the biggest group of morons out of any fanbase. Paying for P2P servers, features that Xbox Live has had since like 2005, features that are limited like cloud storage, and Sony's inability to implement simple features like being able to change PSN ID names or appear offline.

Nice butthurt reactions from the lems.

PSN games > XBL games

- PS+ gets you 6 games while GWG gets you 4 per month.

- You can vote for the games you want now on PS+ while you dont have a choice with GWG

- Many newer games with PS+, some are free from day one like rocket league (which was never the fall for GWG I believe?)

Yeah a game PS+ had in 2013 (2012 in EU). There are way more AAA games that PS+ had while GWG never got them. And dont worry you will get Guacamelee or whatever too, just way later. That is how it works.

PSN stability > XBL stability

- XBL stability took a extreme dive this gen. I guess its because they had to actually offer something of worth to their subscribers (GWG) and with the small margin from the XBL money they invest back to their customers its harder to offer a stable service now that its divided. The drawbacks of offering features that are not locked internet explorer. :^)

- PSN on the other hand is getting better in their stability even if they just have mandatory PS+ for PS4 only for a little over 2 years now. Dont forget that PS3 and Vita have free PSN while Xbox 360 user which are still in the millions pay for the service. Where the **** is all the XBL money going?

PSN features > XBL features

- PS+ offers shareplay which lets you share your games with anybody you want with no limits other than pressing a buttom after an hour. Granted some games are blocked from it, like COD because Activions is too greedy. Furthermore you can let play games that are local coop over the internet.

- PS+ offers frequent sales and great sales and gives PS+ subscribers extra discounts. Those sales are way more frequent than sales with XBL.

- PSN offers cross buy, cross play, cross save for a long time now or did you guys actually believe greenberg when he said they invented this? Is that even a reality for xbl right now or is that still just hot air from MS PR people?

- The only feature that XBL offers that PSN does not is namechange but that costs extra of course.

^ This is not even the whole picture.

Face it boys, we are not in 2006 anymore and PS+ is heads and shoulders above XBL and you guys are just stuck in lalala land.

Hilarious that Xbox Live sucking as bad as PSN means PSN is perfect!

Seems LIVE has turned to shit.

It must be messed up right now because I'm trying to get the damn system update for my Xbox One and it's failed twice already, and is slower than hell for some reason.

Can someone do something about these lemming alts. I know their failure of the console can't keep them entertained but I'm sure they could knit a sweater or something.

don't you get tired of making alts?

You do realise that of the 6 PSN titles only 2 can be played on the PS4, 2 on the Vita and 2 on the PS3. You have to own all 3 systems to make most of the PSN "free" games. The 4 GWG are 2 XBO and 2 360 games, all 4 are playable on the XBO. GWG is much more valuable for XBO owners then PSN Plus is for PS4 owners.

The gamer changer will be that gears of war 4 will be same day release on pc as xbox one.

MS make you pay for P2P since 2002,until 2013,and on xbox 360 still is P2P and xbox fans pay for it educated your self..lol

Can you share games with friends on xbox live and even controls a friends game.?

My god live was even behind the PS3 last gen no mods no PC vs console nothing like PS home and to think it was a free service..lol

PSN had some problem but it was great,and had more games on PS2 and PS3 on dedicated servers than MS on xbox and xbox 360,even that sony didn't charge for online play while MS did.

Only people who downplay PSN is lemming who think everything xbox is better like always.

Live has had problem before,and you can find those in old article is not just now.

The PS3 runs crysis so does the 360 so yeah i am sure it runs it.

Hahahaa now you care about value.?

But MS charged you for nothing for 11 years is like you people gamed in a parallel universe where live included free games since 2002..lol

No free games,no bundle games free on xbox bundles,no games with gold,no price drops for long time that was the xbox 360.

Dude is 2 games for 360 and 2 for xbox one,remember the xbox one is not backward compatible with all games on 360 just some..lol

@suicidesn0wman: Hilarious that I just got an Xbox 360 again for the first time in 6 years, so insanely hyped to play it for some reason :P

Only hilarious because you're SuperCow, put that moniker aside and you're just a guy who loves Tales of Vesperia, which oddly enough is one of only 2 JRPGs I don't own for the 360. ;\

Hahaha yeah right kid, that's why PSN has been down more times in the past 2+ years than LIVE AND for longer periods of time. Keep the DC up cow...it's very amusing

Do you ever actually read or better actually understand what you're reading? From the responses you give to everyone I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. Your lack of understanding is astounding El Tormented.

@tormentos:

You do realise that every GWG 360 game is playable on the one!

Nice way to dodgy the fact that GWG is better valve for XBO owners then PS PLUS is for PS4 owners.

DC at its finest.

So that mean you miss a ton of games because most games aren't xbox one compatible as of yet. BY the way do you have a link to were it is confirmed that all GWG are XBO compatible,?

No is not better value 1 service cost $60 one cost $50 and the $50 one works across 3 platforms and give 6 games,is less if your vision of more value then you nick fit you nicely.

Cows are trying to use the recent problems with LIVE as some sort of ownage KNOWING PSN has been a shit show since day 1.

Go damage control what you say elsewhere dude be a freaking man.

You guys are paying for a service which should be free you get what you deserve

So you're actually trying to say PSN has been more stable and a better overall service since day 1? Hahahaa umm yeah right. Like we've been saying about you, your head is so far up Sony's ass we don't where they end and you begin. You're absolutely pathetic

So many entitled kids.

There were literally over 15 or 20 topics on the bungie forums of people claiming they are changing to PS4 because of the outage lol

I saw that as well on Bungie.net but however, some of that stuff came from ever since MS announce Quantum Break is coming to PC, can't blame'em for switching to PS4.

To sum up this thread:

Lemmings ares stuck in the past and cant accept the fact that PSN >>>> XBL.

No not at all,what i am saying is that PSN is far from being a shit show,when PSN has had features over live and has being more open,support for mods PC vs console and ran most first party games in the old days in dedicated servers.

Fora example gears of war could not handle 4 vs 4 without heavy lag,disconnect and host advantage issues on 2006,while Resistance supported 20 vs 20 on huge stages and was smooth as butter online without those problems that Gears faced.

So in the end you ended with a better online experience,so where it matter online play PSN was great,sure i can't speak for COD fiasco which was also a fiasco on 360.

Name me a game on 360 that was 30 vs 30 60 players online and 8 players co-op like Resistance 2.? Or like Mag you can't do that o P2P which was what basically live offered since 2002 until the xbox one arrived.

I have always argue about the so call better experience on xbox live,i had a 360 and payed for live so yeah i know and i also owned a PS3,games like Warhakw worked on even 256kb connections and was 32 players in huge stages with thank,jet packs,planes.

You didn't see that kind of things on xbox live,most games were P2P and i am not talking about pay to play.

Obviously I over-exaggerate but not by much. PSN was a shit show in the with lots of lengthy updates, slow downloads, lot's of down time and 1 hell of a security breach. So yeah it was but perhaps a tad exaggerated on my end.

Yes it has slow updates and slow downloads in the first 2 years,but the updates you could save all your problems by downloading them on your PC like i did and using a pendrive.

No it didn't have lots of downtime like all networks it require maintain,that hell of a security breach end in nothing and last gen still we saw more accounts being stolen on xbox live which even actually had a black market for those than for PSN.

Good because that statement is missing the logic.

Ummm no we didn't. Millions of PSN account information was lost. NOTHING like that was on LIVE and any accounts stolen on LIVE weren't because of MSs failure at securing their servers. You don't have to lie El Tormented. There hasn't been a security breach THAT big until the most recent Target and Home depot ones.

They were not loss and the accounts them self were padded by multiple account and PSP ones as well,the information could not even being use,sony put a 1 million dollar policy which no one ever got,not only that on PS3 there was no need to have credit cards PSN cards did the trick unlike XBL at first which did force you to have a card.

In fact even with the breach more accounts were stolen on xbox live,because on xbox live they were really stolen and your money was spent,unlike PSN in fact i didn't even change my password nothing happen and the money i had was still there,what they saw could not be use period and is the reason why no one got 1 million from sony.

Bullshit one attack was tag on bungie.net,which was owned by MS back when it happen,MS played blind and deny it,just like they deny on those days high RROD,in fact Major Nelson own account was hickjack so tell me how that happen.? There was even a black market for live account there was an article on how people even requested cool tags or tags with high scores.

According to Finisterre, there is a group online called "Infamous Clan" brazenly offering to "jack" Xbox Live accounts and boasting about successful account theft.

Several Xbox Live users contacted me to confirm the rumors and make it clear that the stolen accounts are being used for nefarious purposes.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/xbox-live-hacked-accounts-stolen/

Funny thing is on 2007 PSN was super safe it wasn't breach until 2011 by that time xbox live accounts had years of being stolen from people,and it wasn't weak passwords for god sake Major Nelson own account was hit.

Update: "I have control of the account," Hryb tells Kotaku. "The enforcement team took care of it." According to the Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE Stephen Toulouse (via Twitter), the hack looks like it was "very specific" and "very targeted" to Hryb's account. Toulouse is investigating the matter further.

Now tell me Major nelson had a weak password or that he was phish...lol

Oh 2010 PSN was still safe.

That went on for years, the cries about accounts being stolen on xbox live was well know those things didn't happen much on PSN land.

Lemmings are living in a glass house, they always talking about how unreliable PSN. Now look at 2016 Xbox live.

Do you even bother reading the post? It sited several fan sites and that it was BUngie.net that was possibly hacked. Not MS servers and NOTHING to the same magnitude as Sony's breach.

I can't believe you're still peddling that garbage knowing full well it wasn't a breach of MS servers. Your own link even said it was Bungie.net AND the only source seemed to be forums. Very weak attempt El Tormented...very weak.

LIVE>>>>>PSN security, reliability and overall function
