Xbox Live and Zune Services Down for Maintenance
Microsoft is scaring its fans and driving the rumor mills crazy this morning by taking down both its Xbox Live service and its Zune services at the same time for "scheduled maintenance." Both services went down yesterday, with Xbox Live expected to comeback online later today and Zune to return tomorrow.
Though little is known about the Zune update, Major Nelson, a member of the Xbox launch team, is making it perfectly clear that users shouldn't expect any new features when Xbox Live service returns. "Let me reiterate: When the service returns, you will not have any new features and you will not have the new Xbox experience update. That will happen later this Fall," he posted on the Xbox Live forums.
Your favorite Microsoft services will be back on soon enough, in the meantime why don't you take a walk in the park, or give your parents a call? Your mother would have never bought you that Xbox if she knew you were going to replace her with it. [From: Engadget]

I wonder if XBox Live members get a refund for the time the service is unavailable. After-all, this is a time-based subscription service which costs roughly (a ridiculous) $50/US per year per gamer tag. I know, I know, you say, "what's 24 hours of a yearlong subscription?" Well, if you consider there are MILLIONS of gamers paying a subscription fee while the service is unavailable, you will realize that Microsoft made millions during that period on services it did not even render. That makes the FREE Playstation network look even prettier.
