This is redicilous, how many times are we gonna have to go through Xbox LIVE having constipation issues? Everythings hellu-va slow, the matchmaking in Gears2 is taking forever to find matches, when sending messages it sometimes won't send or will stay at the screen for ages, I chose a wingman match and it randomly placed me in a Guardian/anex etc match (weird).

It's nice to know that I'm getting my $50 worth on top of my $65 purchase of the game! ANd this problems has existed for more than 3 days now. Also, crappy PSN is free and dont experience this amount of constant issues. My rant is over now :) I'm sure they have enough money to support all the Xbox LIVE members.

the PSN made your arguement null and void, if you think PSN is anywhere NEAR xbox live in terms of support, you prolly don't even own a ps3

there have been recent problems with LIVE. Started about 3 days ago where it would take 2 minutes to display and to view friends that are online. Sometimes it would take 2 minutes or more to connect in matchmaking COD4. This again, started 3 days ago, well until I noticed it. And no, its not my connection.

lol, I USE to own one, got rid of it, it's crap. And I'll comment on what I want. I'm just giving a compare and contrast as to the fact that most multiplayer games on the PSN don't experience complete shutdowns and constant problems the way Xbox LIVE occasionally does. I'm saying we're paying for this service so we have high expectations of what we are getting so calm down. I would not have an issue if it was free, but we're all shelling out dough!! Capice!

A bit faster downloads? the BIG x box update (the one that changed the whole layout) took 3 minutes compared to the 5 to 10 minute regular game updates of the PS3. A game update on my x box usually takes about 10 seconds.

I love it when people make that "it's your connection" comment, it shows just how far their brain is capable of going! Anyways, you're confirming now that I'm not the only one experiencing severe slowdown. So I guess it's NOT "OUR CONNECTIONS"!

Same here! Some Marketplace content takes ages to appear. GoW2 has been dying on me (although GoW2 has been dying from day one), matchmaking is slower than ever in the past couple of days. And don't say it's my connection, cause it's not! My friends have the same issues since 3 days ago...

Gears 2 has really bad servers on connecting/getting you to a match.

I can't even play multiplayer on gears 2, only horde and co-op.

But yes, I've experienced some of your encounters too. With the guide button taking forever to load messages and friends. It's usally only a 1 day thing for me, but it does return. Sometimes sevenfold.

My LIVE has been down for about 3 weeks due to my father being a dumbass and breaking my ethernet cord. and the only way to fix it is to get a unreliable wireless adapter or have the cable company come to my house and re-wire my room.
