Today was a typical XBL Maintenance day, really.
1) Service down for slightly longer than expected.
2) Engineers/Technicians post on blogs to say everything is finished.
3) Everyone rushes to load up their Xbox.
3) Everyone realises Marketplace is fucked.
4) 12 hours later, Marketplace is still fucked up and not a peep from Redmond because everyone is in bed.
What the hell type of game are these guys playing at the 'Xbox Operations Center'? If this kind of thing would have happened once, I could understand, but it happens consistently whenever there is any kind of update or maintenance required.
I think if they worked for any other company they'd had been fired a long time ago.

Hey, at least nothing big was on the docket.
Oh no wait, it was literally the most high profile release day in XBLA history.

But at least we'll know for sure when it's back, because the content isn't there!
Oh no wait, all the new games are there and you can even get the trial or pay for the full version, you just can't download it, so the only way to check is keep trying and trying and trying and fucking retrying.
God damn it.

Seriously. Dying.
I've never really been too personally burned by the littany of MS clusterfucks over the years. Got the Crackdown/Halo 3 beta a bit early, I'm always up early for stuff I want to beat the rush...
But this...
THIS....

I've tried downloading Magic so many times I've lost count. It was an insta-purchase for me from the moment it was announced. Too bad I decided to buy it without reading the forums first.

You just can't say "The Hot New Arcade Releases" can you?

People here are complaining about one day of necessary maintenance... Note... maintenance... that everybody was informed of well in advance?

Did he really just pull some sort of Bush-esque patriotism card to cloud over their inability to effectively run their business?
Darkmakaimura said:
It's actually the second day. They announced a 24 downtime for all of yesterday, which occurred. Now they've just completely screwed up their content delivery system where people can purchase the content, it deducts their points, but the content will not download.

Darkmakaimura said:
I dont think people are so much complaining about the day of maintenance as they are that now 16 hours after the maintenance was completed -- there are still a litany of issues. Those issues include most of the previous 2 weeks of XBL Marketplace content now missing and the inability to download the new XBLA games that came out today.

Next time just say 2 days maintenance so we can be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't go over schedule.

I think they should send a partial refund to those that bought any of the titles that won't download.

Yeah, that's not good along with all that missing content. Are Achievements still registering and what about the Ghostbusters costumes from GameStop?FlyinJ said:

The 360 has put me through more clusterfucks (hardware and service based) than any other gaming machine I have ever owned (and I've been gaming since the 80's), yet for some reason I keep going back to it.
Damn this, I want my Sam and Max.

Them treating the divx files as content I needed to be signed in to watch is what forced me to move all my divx watching over to the PS3 so I don't have to put up with the headache anymore.

I was hopping this maintenance was signaling that the next dashboard update was right around the corner, but it seems last year the 360 had maintenance in September but the dashboard update didn't arrive until November.
