Microsoft Taking Care Of It's Gold Members After Last Weeks Live Outage

The Bitbag writes, "I got some info from my Microsoft contact after questioning whether or not Gold Members will get thrown a bone for all the downtime they had to sit through. While nothing has been officially announced, they have stated, '…we will definitely be doing something for our Gold members that weren't able to get online over the last week.'"

I think a free month for all gold members is the least they could do.

even though it hasn't affected me, I'll take a free month:)

Yet another example of the moronic infestation that's plaguing this site, each time Microsoft does another ****-up " which is a lot" they refer to their trolling-4-noobs manual to start attacking Sony and its fans, well done.

As for the news, another shaft to Silver members? typical.

LOL, 360 Users shouldn't even pay to play, i mean, WTF kind of a logic is that, you've already paid for the garbage console and the game, but you still have to pay to play it ? it's a shame that you people bite the bullet and went along with that BS for the oh-holy-Microsoft permission to play the only online service in history that you have to pay for, PC's free, Wii too, PS3's free with Dedicated Servers in its important games, but Live i guess you're paying for the Lag.

Oh no, not at all, let me put this in a language even you can understand :

PS3, PC, Wii and the F'ing DreamCast online = Free.

Xbox360= On top of paying for the console, the games, the DSL subscription, you still have to 'for no reason ' pay them too to play or GTFO.

unfortunately the Microsoft-Cyborg above you seems to have missed the point, guess this whole Live's down for a week is Microsoft's saying happy new year everyone RROD-style lol

The last time I checked Winter it was Sony droids trolling the other 360 section that has the unhappy customers wanting something for this mess up & they dont even own a damn 360 & will no doubt come here & do more bashing. Wether you like it or not Winter the Sony Droids is guilty of bashing & super trolling when it comes to this topic.

it really sucks since the holidays are sometimes the only time people get to play games with their friends and families, then all these people with new games and systems come on and their first impression of x-box live is that oh it dosen't work. I swear it seems like X-box has been having more and more problems lately. It is getting on my nerves and making me lose faith in Microsoft.

I keep getting dissagree's from trolling PS3 fanboys lol. I have hundreds of XBL members on my lists spanning 3 360's and all the accounts on them Who's outraged Hardcore Halo fanaitcs?.

Most of my "friends" seem pretty relaxed about the issue you PS3 fanboys have made a bigger deal out of this than we have.

All you people b!tching and moaning. You pay for cable TV or satellite. What if that goes down temporarily? What about cell phones? What about your electricity? Are you telling me that your power has never gone out? Land line phones, what about people in apartments? Does your furnace or heating go out? How about your fridge? Any appliances? Grow the f$*k up and quit complaining. Nothing will work 100% of the time.

16.1 - Dude, I live in Jamaica

Power cuts are more common than sidewalks here so I know not to expect everything to work all the time. Was a little annoying though because I just wanted to download some more demos but it just said "can't connect to messenger" when I tried. So I went and did something else with my life in the mean time.
