Microsoft Giving Xbox Live Users a Free Game
Earlier this week we covered the Xbox Live outages over the holidays. Several users have pointed out that Microsoft has acknowledged its lack of performance, and is now offering a free game to compensate its users. Unfortunately for Microsoft, disgruntled patrons have already filed a class action lawsuit over the recent difficulties. Quoting the PC World article:
"Xbox Live general manager Marc Whitten said that the problems with Xbox Live downtime were caused by an influx of new users who had gotten an Xbox 360 over the holidays. It's been a record-setting season for Xbox Live. '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,' said Whitten."
they all should hang!

Why do you people keep buying Micro$ofts crap? You cut them down every day but yet you line up to fill the deep pockets of Redmond. Oh, and then you wonder how much longer they are going to last. It would seem to me that you would buy products that just work and be done with them.
Niggers are already hung, far bigger, better, and larger than you ever will be!
Republicans? Nah, they don't need bigger dicks. They're already big enough dicks as it is.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
This has nothing to do with lag at all. It's the matchmaking servers and such. The ONLY advantage PSN has over Live is that it's free. Otherwise it's inferior in pretty well every way I can think of from the store, to the messaging and matchmaking.
