Some Xbox Live Users may be unable to log into Xbox Live. The Xbox Live engineers are currently investigating and are working to resolve this issue.

go play on your pscrap

[pschampion]

coming from a man who spent half of this waiting to get back from repair only to be sent back in a few seconds

[jack who]

what are you talkin about?

[godofthunder10]

i'm tired of hearing about the 360 rrod every time something happen.hell this has to do with live not the 360 system.
what i don't understand is why people are calling microsofts 360 trash and say that they need to stop making game systems.when the ps1 and 2 came out they had problems to,especially the ps1,i had to buy 5 of them in less then a year and a half because they kept saying can't read disc even when it was a new system with a new game because they had defected drives in them but sony fixed the problem in a few years and now it's a good system,the ps2 had problems when they were first releast it,but when they released the ps3 it was done right but now they are saying that the ps3 is starting to crash on some people but i know that sony will fixed the problem even if i hate them.
microsoft is fixing the 360.all the new ones have the new chips in them so they want over heat and every one get a 3 year warrinty on their systems and not one other company ever gave a 3 year warrinty on their electronic product with a defect or not,microsoft is the only one to do it.sony didn't even give an extra month warrinty on the ps1 when they first releast it and they had defective drives in them.if you had a ps1 and the drive went out after 60 or 90 days(i forgot how long it was)you were stuck with it and had to buy another one like i had to and i bet that the people who had their ps3 longer then 90 days and it crashed on them they are just stuck with it and they will have to buy another ps3.
i admit that i hate sony and the ps3 but i'll admit that the ps3 was done right when they first released it because the few people that had a problem with the ps3 is to few to even mention.the ps1 on the other hand had defected drives in them,i'll admit that it didn't over heat it just wouldn't read and discs.the 360 has a defected chip in it causing it to over heat but microsoft is fixing it just like sony fixed the ps1.
i'm not saying that microsoft is perfect because not one company is.all of the big companies like microsoft and sony makes back room deals like buying an exclusive game,i know that sony fans will say that sony never did that,but the truth is that sony doese the same thing like every other big company in the world because if sony never did thing like that then they wouldn't be where they are at now.look at it this way why would a game company just give sony an exclusive game for no reason when another company will pay you + you will have the same deal as sony,anyone who has a brain knows that it's not even a choice because a company looks out for their stock holders not sony or any other company but theirs,all they want to do is make the biggest profit that they can so they can keep their stock holders happy.
what i'm tryinmg to say is that sony fans need to stop with the rrod because microsoft is fixing them,hell people didn't talk this long about the defected drives in the ps1 and people was just stuck with them if they broke on them.just like sony with the ps1 ,microsoft is fixing the problem.i know that the ps3 isn't haveing any problems but it took sony 3 generations of ps to get it right the first time and this is just microsoft second xbox.sony fans need to remember what happened to the ps1 before they start making fum of people who bought a 360 and it broke on them because a person who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones at some one else.

[Sez]

good post dude. i have went thru the same problems with the ps1 and ps2.but i have come to the point that sonyfanboys tent to want to forget or deny it ever happen.you can point out the countless screams of people that went thru the dre problem and filed law suits and they will deny it happened.no one knows the rate of failure with the ps1 or ps2 becuase no one made it a major toppic because it was sony.

the way i see it sony can do no wrong in the eyes of some of these gaming sites and these extreme fanboys. the ps3 is losing and rather badly at that. so the reason why you see people still posting about the 360's RRoD is because thats all they have to talk about the 360.they have nothing else.i mean what else can they talk about. the games. the 360 have a great lineup of games out and some to come. they may not be up to your standards or systems seller as some of you call them. but they sell better than the best exclusive on the ps3 ATM.

what else can they talk about XBL. yeah you pay $50 dollers for a year(oh sorry 13 months. as you get a month for free.)but look at the feature you get.that the psn don't get.cross game chat,cross game messaging,cross game invites,play your own music in game,view message during game play,demos and arcade games every tuesday,a headset. yes i know some people feel some of these things should be free. it does cost to maintain them for long periods of time.thats the reason why i think sony doesn't offer alot of the same feature as xbl.

the point i trying to make is. let the sonyfanboys talk about the rrod all they want. it doesn't escape the fact that ps3 is in last place,most port are better on the 360,only two games out of the ps3 lineup sold over a million units WW,the ps3 had two price drop in it's first year (which in gaming history is unheard of)just to sell half of the 360 install base.even with the 360 getting major bad press about the dreaded rrod. it still out sold the ps3 every month straight.

the idea here is to maximize everyone bubbles so the real fanboy wars can begin

[Winter47th]

Begun the bubble war has.

[Mighty Boom]

Phuck the bubble system! What are we, phucking kids!? Oh yea... This sites bread and butter comes form the childish ps3 fanboy! Makes sense why this is such a censored site. Queer ass algorithms! Take my phucking bubbles!

[bososakoo]

man he pissed you all xbots, i am sure every xbot here gave him negative feedback and reported the comment as spam so here it goes
title: xbox exclusive confirmed
it has been confirmed that the highest failure rate in consumer electronics will remain exclusive to the xbox with timed exclusive bugs :d

[toughNAME]

[TheMART]

Just been on live. Everythings running fine. Aren't those reporting problems just being banned? :P

[I Make Stuff Up]

Either you have a magic connection to XBL, or you are a liar because you seem to be the only one able to log on.

Which is it? Are you a liar?

[gta_cb]

i dont think he is a liar, i could log in about 2-3 hours ago (when he commented) but now i cant get a connection at all, earlier i logged in, then was showing my brother who has come back from UNI a demo on my HDD then i got signed out was having problems so started watching an Xvid video from my PC on my Xbox 360 and tried logging in again a few times and nope, cant log in, so maybe you should think that maybe he could have logged into XboxLIVE as it says he commented over 2 hours ago.

[WilliamRLBaker]

yep logged in;)

[Mikey_Gee]

I have been playing COD4 on XBL for the last while now.

[Account deleted]

can't you even read they said some
not everyone who signs in succesfully should report it
i even doubt that if you didn't sign , you would report it
the mart keep your shhiiittt @xbotshits leave this site

[IHATEGOD]

why are you commenting on an article about the 360 and live? clearly you own a POS3 cause your on here posting about the 360. do you want a 360 cause you can buy for far less than a POS3. we all know you have the time to post about 360 cause your POS3 has no games to play. so why don't you go back to your POS3.com and leave comments there.

[TheWiseguy]

yeah i cant log on either

[IGNFTW]

THEY BETTER FIX THIS GODDAMN PROBLEM T-O-N-I-G-H-T.

EDIT:CAMERA PHONE PIC INCLUDED

[v1c1ous]

now you know what us ps3 owners feel like whenever an update bricks our system/makes out games unplayable

[gta_cb]

i dont count myself as an "Xbot" nor a "sonydroid" but had to comment as i do own an Xbox 360. i currently cant log in and havnt been able to for a little while now, but it hasnt bothered me to much, i can still play all demos on my HDD and play any single player game, and i have been watching a movie streaming from my PC so if this is what you feel like when you cant play games/ bricks your system then you should see someone (doctor maybe lol)

[Mr VideoGames]

but uuuuuuh i got a Video though :)

[name]

Alot of fanboys in here.

The problem should be fixed eventually. It's kinda messed up when people get a high off of other people's problems. Does anyone know the source of the problem? Is it just a few games, or is it the service itself?

[gta_cb]

all games are working fine AS FAR AS I KNOW as all mine work, its XboxLIVE that is down at the moment.

[AllroundGamer]

lol i can imagine how xbox fanboys will use the jedi trick - "there is no problem." (waves hand)

[killer_trap]

typical....... an xbox360 problem and here comes the sony fans. a ps3 problem and here comes the 360 fans. honestly we deserve each other. lol

[Chaos Striker]

how about UT3? Uncharted? Need I say more?

[Xbrainer]

you need to say alot more than those POS games

[NiraTum]

[killer_trap]

i have a friend with the same problem....turns out he's been banned. are you sure you're not banned?

edit: i just another guy who has your problem but he fixed it. he told me it was a credit card problem. the credit card he was using to access live was expired so he used another one and he was able to log in.

[killer_trap]

well i can't help you then. just contact Microsoft. it's really annoying when i can't log on to live cause i'm paying money for it. well i'll give a bubble to cheer you up

[Nameless]

Good job showing off your maturity Sony Droids. This area will bring out the best in the Sony Droids.

[EastCoastSB]

It's works both ways, unfortunately.

[bym051d]

This really sucks. I just got a 360 today...

[Mikey_Gee]

Some have not had this issue and for those who do, it will get fixed VERY VERY soon.

No different than when my Internet Provider is down for a short bit from time to time.

[Mr PS360]

Im finally off of work and I cant get on my Xbox. Guess I will play my PS3 for a while.

[Legion]

You can't get on your XBox? Do you mean you can't get on XBox Live? Big difference.

I am lucky to be stationed overseas right now, so when this occurred I was sleeping. But if it did occur then I would have simply thrown in Bioshock, Mass Effect or any other game that I own and play it. XBox Live IS one of the best benefits of my gaming system, but I can deal with the hiccup. Which is really all this was.

I could have also brought some friends over and we all could have jumped on my 2 widescreen sets and hook my multiple systems up for some nice land party. Gotta love options. Sorry for those who had to miss out on a few moments of being without their Live. I guess it just goes to show you how Live is so damn addictive and good in life. If PS3 fans had not been able to hook up on-line, would they even notice?

[I Make Stuff Up]

So, the paid-for service is down?

*logs onto PSN*
Yup, still working.

That's a shame.

[FPS nut]

kinda like those UT3 mods crashing PS3s

[I Make Stuff Up]

Aren't crashing PS3s, dummy.
Sit down and think a little for a change.
The game crashes. The PS3 is rock solid and you wish you had one.

Nice way to try and change the focus...XBL is down, period.

[FPS nut]

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News... Have a nice day "dummy" maybe you should "think".

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Because he just pwned you

[jack who]

rofl

[ambientFLIER]

Yes, a paid-for service is down!!! Imagine that, an electronic device isn't working!!! That has NEVER happened before in the history of the world...

Go back to tooling around on your movie player.

[I Make Stuff Up]

Follow the link in the article YOU supplied.
Tell me what is displaying the message on the screen.....the one that says "It appears that the game has lost power or crashed.."

I do believe it's the PS3 that displays that message, no?
It would be pretty hard for it to display that if it had crashed, don't you think?

Like I said...sit down and think for a while.

[OoOLeafsOoO]

so a game causing the console to shut down isn't crashing? it is crashing, and u know it, XD, just go back to ur ps3 page and talk about your lack of games and we'll stay here and wait for our superior online gaming service to come back online ;)

[WilliamRLBaker]

yep psn never goes down right?

http://community.eu.playsta...

http://forums.gametrailers....

http://community.eu.playsta...

and yes it has been confirmed for some users the Mods for UT3 are crashing the entire ps3 needing a restart to fix it, not every one but SOME users.

[Mikey_Gee]

Oh snap !! And links to boot.

----

Yes because we all know that all companies in the world are perfect ... other than MS and the 360.

GROW UP and go play something or do something other than B1tch B1tch B1tch.

-------

I love how all the fanboys from both camp just on bad news on a constant basis. I think I will start a site with a STRONG FILTER so NORMAL GAMERS can come and share news without all the retards on board.

[Legion]

He logs off again because he is bored on PSN and continues to see what the XBox fans are up to.

[Legion]

So your PS3 tells you that it is crashing and you still think it is not? What more do you need? A presidential decree?

[IHATEGOD]

have you ever been on xbox live? No, I didn't think so. Well since I did own a 360 and a POS3 at the same time, I will gladly tell you that paying for live ( $40 and under on Ebay for one year ) is worth it. Just think about it i can get on live with a game as old as perfect dark and still find multiplayer games. now if live was free those games would no longer have any servers. so when the POS3 gets older and you can't play launch games over PSN, well thats cause its free. So how is that playing beyond.

[Snukadaman]

dam...have a story about problems on a service and the idiots come out....dont worry kids..im sure it will be back up soon. some real childish people man...

[Mr PS360]

Both systems have there goods and there bads.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

It's down for some and it was a while ago, N4G is slow on this one.

[gta_cb]

doent mean its not still happening, i cant log in yet lol, ohwell i just hope they have it sorted by 2morrow when my mates and i want to play some COD4 :P

[kcdude]

I cant get on Xbox Live right now and have this Error Code:

W:0000-000B
X:0000-F001
Y:00A8-E860
Z:8015-1918

I assume it is because of the technical problems right now. Hopefully Xbox Live will be up and running soon.

[TwissT]

That sucks hope it gets fixed soon.

[Martini]

Can't log in. Sh*t happens :)

[Double-Edged]

wow... i hate playing single player games. simply boring.

oh well...

[Martini]

Same here, painfull reminder that multiplayer is where it's at :)

[Contra26]

yeah...
i miss my LIVE....

[Martini]

Try COD 4 single player on veteran - it's fu*king hard and lots of fun.

[gta_cb]

i have tested my xboxlive connection via the settings blade and have ended up with these results:

Network Apapter - Wired
IP Address - Confirmed
DNS - Confirmed
MTU - Confirmed
ICMP - Confirmed
XBOXLIVE - Failed

and obviously doesnt reach the NAT test.

problems do occur so please no flame wars, i am just a bit sad that it is my first night back at my house and these problems have happened now lol. ohwell hopefully they will have it sorted by the morning

[OoOLeafsOoO]

when i reach the XBox Live testing tab, it says failed, hopefully they'll fix it soon

[killer_trap]

hey talk about bad luck huh......i imagine your face looked like your avatar when you couldn't log in............lol

[gta_cb]

lollollollol, well not exactly the same but i was worried something had gone wroung with either my Xbox 360 or my router (netgear) and was worried with being soo close to Christmas i wouldnt be able to do any online gaming over the holidays lol

[killer_trap]

i'm glad somebody can handle a joke. i'd give you a bubble. but i already did after my post just in case you got angry or something.

[OoOLeafsOoO]

since im on a wireless network, i was freaked out that i didn't have a connection, but my internet was working, and the 360 and pc are in the same room. So I was about to go into the corner and start rocking back and forth with my knees tucked in. I hope they get it fixed, its winter break, I NEED STUFF TO DO

[gta_cb]

lol its all good :) yeah some people dont know how to take jokes but then you just have to think its only a console, possessions can be replaced/fixed :) gave you good feedback :)

@ OoOLeafsOoO
lollollollollol, can imagen some of my mates doing that as they always seem to wanna play online lol

WELL TO ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE READING THIS, I CAN NOW LOG INTO XBOXLIVE! SO GO TRY AND LOG IN AND HAVE FUN GAMING :)

[OoOLeafsOoO]

I was in the middle of a big team battle on Halo 3 when I was suddenly disconnected from Live, I've tried countless times to log back on, but it hasn't worked. It's probably just routine matinince, ill try it out first thing tomorrow morning.

On another note, I really enjoy how all of the PS3 fanboys go to the XBox 360 page and comment on stuff on there. Why don't Wii fanboys, PS3 fanboys, and XBots just stay on their own pages?

[etownone]

man.... i had to reset my modem, my router....and still didn't work. Called and talked to verizon tech support.

good to know im not the only one

hope they fix it quick

[Snukadaman]

even added a password on my router cause i think someone is sucking off my bandwidth...but as of 8:36 pm..its still down.

[BoneMagnus]

but there is lots of lag - and he got booted off a few times. I can't get on yet...guess I'll be playing Mass Effect tonight.

[NextGEN Gamers]

And we get to pay annual fees for the privilege of crappy XBL. Why didn't I get a PS3 instead?

D

[Mikey_Gee]

Hahahahahahaha

Your post is Sooooo transparent it is not even funny. WOW !!

Shoot your gamertag so I can see what you were playing before you could not get back onto live. I will send you a message on XBL just to confirm it is you and you can access live even though you seem to have bad feeling toward it.

I will be waiting.

[Xbrainer]

"Why didn't I get a PS3 instead?"

because you didnt want to buy a sh1tty blu ray player obviously

[NextGEN Gamers]

My gamertag for XBL is already attached to my N4G account. Obviously you are new here or you would have known how to search for that.

D

[name]

Come on Xbox live is far from crappy. It's just one error don't worry, you'll live. But...about you buying a Ps3 =D Go do that.

[Xbox is the BEST]

is back on-line

[Mikey_Gee]

Even though I did not miss a beat on XBL, I would be up in arms for the VERY VERY SHORT down time we had to suffer. I think we should all sue MS and burn out consoles.

Can you smell the sarcasm ??

[MALVAD0]

"XBOX DIE' NO LIVE

[THX7168]

I don't think anything should be submitted when the the entire article fits into the description field of the submission.

Maybe that's just me. lol

Other than that. I don't really mind since my 360 is being repaired right now.

[Oilers Fan]

When do you think it will be fixed

[Mikey_Gee]

Go play

[Oilers Fan]

hahahaha thank you for that advice. i was starting to get bored!

[PimpHandHappy]

nah i wont flame this up

im getting on Warhawk

oppps

did i just flame this up

hahahahahahahaha

[Boink]

been online since 10pm eastern

[Daxx]

I just checked. It's running just fine now.

[gamehendge]

the word xbox and problem in the same sentence...nothing new there.

[DaEnforcer]

Xbots crack me up. First they get this RROD sensation and now their $60 bucks a year online gaming service crashes the sh1t out of them. And they still askin for more lol

[Tyrael]

lol dont hate cause your mommy and daddy didnt get you a 360 for christmas

[Legion]

Everytime I look around you got the SonyBoys cranking up the cost of XBox Live. It cost me $49.99 for 13 months. You just wish you had a system that didn't have tumbleweeds blowing around.

XBox Live is great and Sony boys will look at any minute of hiccup to think that they have something good going for them. Get over it already.

[MaximusPrime]

<<<proud PS3 owner

[aba]

Owning a console is required, and seeing as how you don't even have a ps3, you need to STFU.

[ambientFLIER]

You know what crack me up? People with a Killzone avatar. Talk about an overhyped game...

[PS360OWNER]

i kept getting signed out of my xbox live account i thought my internet got screwed up im glad there working on the problem

[Eamon]

Why is this article become so popular?

These things happen once in a while.

[Horny]

I was wondering the same thing, both sides have idiots that love to spam the sh!t out of a article were the opposing system has problems.

[SuperSaiyan4]

You all cant log in for a couple of hours and you all go ape?? Sheesh give it up.

[Wii60_FTW]

I was pissed, but it's back up. Had some amazingly fun Gears matches with my crew. GEARS ON LIVE IS #1. AND ALL SONY DROIDS MUST DIE! hahAHAahaha N00BS1!!!!!

[bigshynepo]

PSN with it's no charge policy and it's rare downtime is beginning to seem like a better bet...

Xbox Live down on Christmas Holidays... I'd be pissed if I had stuff rented.

[bigshynepo]

You should try WARHAWK for Playstation 3! Many Xbox owning friends i know have been converted to the PS3 with this game alone.

The best Multiplayer action on any console right now!

[OoOLeafsOoO]

and thats why halo 3 won best multi-player game, right?

[SDS Overfiend]

Thank God Whew for a minute i felt like a sony Fanboy Till i realize that I still Had'nt finished Stranglehold, A few Races in Forza and some of the Maps in COD4 on veteran. Anyway I'll forgive MS for this one only because ited last for about 1 hour on and off xbox live.

[whoelse]

Oh dear...more problems with part of the Xbox. I wouldnt be surprised if some Sony fanboys tried to hack it :D

[GameHero]

you hacked the Blu=ray site(because blu-ray is killing you in the format war)so we hacked your site. Now Both your box and your live service is broken! HA! Woo Hoo! PS3 is killin you bots just face it!

[GameHero]

Bring it on, you broken down bots!

[Mr Blings]

I was able to sign on last night no problem. However, I was bored and threw in moto gp 06 for the first time in ages, waiting for girl to be ready to leave for a holiday party. Upon boot up of the game it would keick me out of live. As soon as I tried to test connection, system locked up. Tried this 4 times or so. Didn't try any other games. I played a few single player tracks. Upon entering back onto the console live screen it would automatically sign me back in with no issues.

[NanoGeekTech]

Last night...And played a little this morning....I noticed I had to manually sign into Xbox live..a few times but not biggie..If it was down I could not tell...

--Side note PS3, 360 and the Wii are all great consoles..//They all do things differently...For the people who trash and spill hate toward someone with another console would not turn down a free PS3,360 or Wii...So why belittle someone because they perfer one console over the other..

--Heck...If anyone had an option to own multiple systems they would pursue that option and there would be less....childish backlash..that I tend to see on these forums..

[Benjammin_162]

dude that is so true. I hate it when people trash the other system. I mean there all cool, xbox and Ps3 a little more, but i would take any of them if it was free. who wouldn't?

[DJ]

Should be up and running right away.

[slymaddox]

I just don't get the idea of bashing other consoles. Every system out there has it flaws. Every system out there has its own strengths. Wii has Mario and Metroid. 360 has Halo, Gears of war, Bioshock... PS3 has Uncharted, R&C, MGS, Grand Turismo... I own all three systems and couldn't be happier. Right now I play the PS3 more but whenever 360 or Wii has another great game come I'll be playing them. Just pick one system if you can't get all threee and you'll be fine. Save up for the next one and you'll be even better off.

[Benjammin_162]

I called in last night, some guy said only "some" users are down, but the servers are down. How does that work? he said they should be back up today, but he didn't know for sure. I think its weird how they didn't send out a letter or a warning or anything saying they are going to be down for along time. I was just thinking, how cool would that be if Microsoft and Sony joined together so you cold play other people online. Like your other friends that have a different system. That would be sick!

[Merovee]

That sucks though, hope everyone can get back on soon.

[pshizle]

yes it was down from like 6pm to like i dont know... i did not play my xbox yesterday night so idk but its not a big deal

what mattters is that xbox live is up and running today

[Maddens Raiders]

bad for people that invest and apparently re-invest in something that produces something as unholy as the red rings of death. I mean once bitten twice shy but,...? On the other hand though it's good at least that you guys don't have to pay for the service I mean that would be ridiculous...oh, erm..uh wait a minute - nevermind.

It is very evident most of you don't have xbox-live. It went off for SOME people and worked fine for others. I don't know when it went off for me but it came back on december 22 at 11:00 on the dot. It is also evident you sony nuts have nothing because most of the whinning is from you. Go play you gays3 if you can find something that can hold you attention for more than 3 days.

stop rambling about it!!!!
SONY PEOPLE STFU ALREADY!!!!

PLAYSTATION ONLINE HAS A FRACTION OF WHAT XBOX LIVE HAS ONLINE. SO ITS GONNA BE ALOT HARDER TO KEEP SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE RUNNING SMOOTHLY RATHER THAN THE MAYBE ONE MILLION PLAYSTATION HAS!

[v1c1ous]

is making me confident that n4g is doing more harm to gaming than i thought it would

[Mc187]

stuff goes down it comes back up no biggy right.
i do not think this is some huge problems that will continue just a system hiccough.
i would hate for live to go down.

well...

less than 1 million i would think

"Return the XBOX 360 and exchange it for a SONY PLAYSTATION 3 before its too late". Make the wise decision in investing your money in a gaming console that offers a Blu-Ray Player, A Free Online Service and a Non - Defective Solid Gaming Console Called the SONY PLAYSTATION 3.

DON"T follow in the footsteps of the narrow minded ignorant low IQ Microsoft lovers who love to send their XBOX 360 for repairs every month and a half.

Own a SONY PLAYSTATION 3 because you don't need the stress that a XBOX 360 gives you.

[Snukadaman]

You seem to have less then you think.

[THE DUKE]

did you even read the article, its for SOME peoples 360's not every1 you pr@. I think your the one having a bad Christmas with your pathetic excuse of an online gaming network

[Mc187]

sony's online system is fine it's not perfect but i play on it nightly and it is far from pathetic.since stuff is more expensive in the UK why would you pay almost 100 pounds a year when you can play for free.

[GameOn]

you think live is £100 p/a over here. Thats like $220.
You must be the reason why the whole world thinks Yanks are dumb.... and fat.

[ROCCOZILLA]

i heard that the 360 was gonna get discontinued on january 1 anyways.god xbox is in big trouble starting next year.JUMP OUT!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Number 1 largest cable company just "jumped in" and the 360 "continues" to sell games like COD4 1,500,000 in a month compaired to 400k on the PS3, 2 attach rate to a 7 attach rate and the PS3 only has 3,000,000 PSN members and it's free. I know it hurts and truth can be a bummer but hey! keep thinking all that your saying is true, pretty soon your doctor will give you some fancy antipsychotic drugs to deal with that "reality" problem you have.

You forgot to take your lithium today.

[SDS Overfiend]

Gave Comcast, CableVison and Road Runner a whole lot of bussiness in the last 2 years. 700k compared 7 million strong and growing.
You can't even give away free gaming on the PSN network.

Let me remind you. Netzero started of free an so did Juno.
Where are they now?

[Savior X]

SOOOO RIGHT I HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS AND GAME WAY WAY WAY LESS ON MY PS3!
