I’m really starting to get sick of all of these problems that Xbox Live is currently having, but come on, it’s been almost 2 weeks and things still haven’t improved. Well, from my end, things haven’t changed. Call of Duty 4 is probably the only game that I’m interested in playing at the moment, along with another 500k people.

I’ve just spent the best part of about 30 minutes trying to join games, invite friends, and even host a private match, and I keep getting errors say that I must have an active network connection. Funny thing is that I’m chatting to a friend over Xbox Live right now.

I don’t know the ins and outs of how things are done with the Xbox Live servers, but I’m sure it couldn’t be too hard to add a few more servers in here and there to cope with demand. Gee, just yesterday they announced that they have sold over 17.7 million consoles and that signups to Xbox Live managed to crash the signup servers.

I know that Microsoft have said that they are going to give a free arcade game to members, but I think that they really need to pull their finger out and get this sorted out ASAP before people start to loose faith and move to another platform.

Anyway, I’m just have a bit of a rant about this whole thing.
