That's a poor choice of day to take it down :P
"Microsoft takes down XBox Live permanently - leaving console business!" suddenly becomes a believable April Fools Day gag if Live is ACTUALLY DOWN when people go to check.

i believe it's due to gta4 because if that game sells more than Halo3 then expect Xbox live to crash again.
They need to make it as robust as possible this time around.

They took Live down for Halo 3 and it still crashed for 3 weeks. Plus theres this new update problem that a bunch of people are getting that needs to be fixed.

XboxLIVE didnt crash when Halo 3 was released, neither did it crash in the same month, i know this because i was playing Halo 3 online doing matchmaking and also the 4 player online co-op. if you disagree then please provide evidence and i will say sorry.
the only time i have known XboxLIVE to fuk up for a vast amount of time was over Christmas.
i do know they took down XboxLIVE for the launch of Halo 3 im just saying it didnt crash when Halo 3 was released.

6 - I say....April Fools.
That is a link to a forum post.... Has anyone seen such a message come to them? No, no...I am afraid we are being subject to an April Fools joke.
I stand corrected....it looks like this is indeed real:
Official statment posted on the Battlefield: Bad Company forum, posted by EA confirms it....

6.2 - No need for caps...
But I got the message as well. The April Fool's part is that they're claiming that it will only be down for 3 hours. I'd bet 36-48 hours, based on past experience.

6.4 - I've had mine since Feb 06...
And it ALWAYS takes longer for the updates than they predict. Every single time (maybe not 36 hours though). I understand it's an incredibly complicated system but at least give a more reasonable time frame...6-8 hours maybe?

7 - For some of you that are not familier
This is normal practice for MS to shut Live down which last about 24 hours or less for upgrades. Nothing new.
UPDATE: This isn't fake just checked my email and at 1109 today I recieved the message it will be down 1 Apr starting at 0200 PDT
So check your messages on your 360.

7.1 - Oh it is normal for sure...
But I am not trusting a forum post when NOTHING on xbox.com or any other major sites has ANYTHING to say about this let alone any kind of proof of this "official" message.
EDIT: well, I am big enough to admit I was wrong... see my post above. (+Bubble to you)

Dude, those guys run a tight ship. There admin actually makes the posters show proof. There's only two forums I trust, that one and neogaf. The rest tend to just let anything be posted.

8.1 - umm... care to specify?
Voice chat or Video chat. Last time i checked, you could voice chat with up to 3 other people at a time while all playing different games. Video chat is another issue, but i can imagine the bandwidth issues to basically have a video conference on Live.

Is this the spring update or just maintenance? Although if I'm not mistaken, I believe the spring update is always just a back-end (invisible) upgrade to prepare for the coming fall update's new features...
Regardless of what it is (update or maintenance) I doubt if we can expect to see any new features this time.

They would notify clearly if it was the spring update. It won't come around until May/June IMO.

I certainly didn't believe it was real....but I do now. EA has it posted from an EA modderator...and now a picture is posted of the message.
So thats about as real as it gets for me.

There getting ready for GTA IV, they don't want their service to crash when the game comes out like it did around xmas 2007.
