Microsoft gives free game to ease Xbox Live problems

SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. said Friday it will give Xbox 360 owners a free video game to make up for poor performance over the holidays by the system's online hub.

Gamers log on to the Xbox Live Web site to buy games, television shows and movies to load onto their consoles, and interact with other players.

Video game blogs such as Joystiq recently reported that users had a slew of problems with the site over the holidays, including trouble signing in, downloading media and getting matched with online opponents.

"We are disappointed in our performance," wrote Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox Live, on the Xbox 360 support Web site.

Whitten said record-breaking traffic and new-member sign-ups caused the "intermittent Xbox Live issues."

Microsoft, which says it has sold more than 17.7 million Xbox 360 consoles since the system's November 2005 debut, bulked up its capacity for gamers on Xbox Live both before the release of the wildly popular "Halo 3" and ahead of the holiday season.

The software maker did not publicly detail the problems Xbox users faced or the steps it has taken to fix the issues.

Whitten said the company will give a free game from the Xbox Live Arcade, but did not say which titles will be chosen, or when. [/align]

 

^^ i hope they allow for download of that new billiards game. I've been wanting to try that.

 

HA IN UR FACE HD
time to get a ps3

 

If you want to play Blue Ray movies buy a PS3, if you want to play video games by an Xbox 360.

 

+1

the ps3 isn't even the best blu ray player out! i read that it doesn't support all the audio formats or somethin like that. I'll try to find the site again. Luckily i have both systems (20gb PS3 should be good enough and it has HDMI out so that works) so i have both format players, either way I WIN! lmao. I have compared both formats and as far as visually, i don't see a difference at all.

Also my gf's bro in law, bought a ps3 (80gb) last week, installed the update for it, and now has to return it because it doesn't work. LMAO.

 

umm so ps3 isnt as good as it sounds? i used to be such a big nerd, but i havetn play any videogames in over a year, still have my computer full of hacked games

 

videogame wise yes right now for the selection they have it is pretty weak. the only plus is that it has that blu-ray player built in which MIGHT be good for the future, and like i said before it is not the best blu ray player out. It has the power but it simply does not have the software (games) to back it up.

 

If you want a useless $300+ paperweight with 3 beautiful red lights, get a 360.

If you want to play games, Hi-Def Blu Ray movies, and have a large internal HDD, get a PS3.

I am gonna start saving up to get a 350z...no SRT here.



Don't care about fast as much as style now....

 

if u do get the nismo!!
if i was going for a new car i'd wait for the camaro or the 08 evo

 

Ps3 sucks
xbox is the ****
