It's 1 AM eastern time Monday December 31st 2007 and Xbox live has a recording on 1-800-4-myxbox admitting to server problems. They are working on it. Which means over the New Years Holiday when everyone wants to play they will have problems, typical Microsoft. I am a N.O.C. remote negineer and I have NO idea why Xbox and all the game developers who run servers and make literally 100's of millions of $$ off us don't have ON CALL people. I know why they don't. In my Business gamers are seen as idiots who won't complain other than bitch in these forums. If we flood the companies like EA games who made Battlefield which servers crashed every 2 hours since the game was sold and we told them we would boycott them than maybe, just maybe they will treat us like the other REAL people in the tech world. Microsoft/Xbox live also gets away with this because they have zero respect for gamers, I personally know Redmond employees and this has been discussed. They see gamers and little kids who have do deal with it, or pot heards who will never complain or do anything about it. I know this will upset some, and there will be defenders who makes the big bucks like I do in the game world, and fear people like me who say it how it is. I am a gamer too, and I am sick and tired of crap servers, crap Xbox live and having to wait a week or in the case of Battlefields crappy servers forever and still no results.
Remember black hawk down? It was a repacked piece of trash sold as a state of the art game and was literally junk and they made millions off it, did anyone bitch? NO! Most of the people and myself who bought it sold it back to the game stops literally within 2 days, it was so bad.
So have fun with Xbox live being out the last whole week crashing and NO one working on it till after the 3rd of January Next year!
Og I am no child I am 51 years old and I say we now need a Gamers defense group to lobby the manufacturers and Xbox live types to not just steal our money and laugh at us.

If they didn't have respect for gamers then they wouldnt of done anything about the 3 red lights,and as for xbox live its bound to have trouble once in a while just like anything else.Of course its gonna suck for the time being but its not like their not trying to fix it,do you actually think MS would try to mess up their reputation with its millions of subscribers? PS do something else,your 51!!!!!!!!!

When you test you connection, if it fails on xbox live, click the more info button, and see what it says, if banned it will say something like that in the pic below:
