In case you may have forgotten, Xbox is down for scheduled maintenance today. The outage affects both Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com. They started at midnight PST, and plan to take up to 24 hours to make the needed changes. I am told that this is not the dashboard update to the “New Xbox Experience” and that we will not see any cosmetic changes at all this time around. Hopefully it’s driving us closer to seeing the new dashboard and Netflix streaming capabilities!

So, COD4 friends… what do you plan to play since we can’t get on for multiplayer today? I finished Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise over the weekend, so it’s a toss-up between Lost Odyssey (in which I am stuck at the first boss) or Bioshock (in which I am stuck at a Big Daddy). Whatever it is, I won’t let this little outage force me into doing housework during my beloved gaming hours!
