Lenin64 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm trying to set up an Xbox Live profile, but every time I enter my Windows Live address (which is just an msn e-mail right? I think it said it is) it keeps telling me "Xbox Live sign up is currently unavailable". Is this a problem on my end, or is there something going on elsewhere? f it is me, what do I need to do to fix it? Command the Murderous Chalices!

RebelAssassin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 basicly, you need to use an msn hotmail account to link to your gamertag. you type one in when you create your xbox live account and its linked to that for recovery and for using xbox.com. ive just looked on an xbox forums and there are many people having the same problem as you so i wouldnt worry about it to much as its not on your end. www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushrock Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have a router and everything, but everytime I try connecting it up something bad happens and I don't get signed on. What am I supposed to do? Better yet, could someone please go to the trouble and type out instructions? O:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skill_Caster Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I think (and pray to god) that today the Xbox Live service is having problems, because after $160 setup, my Live refusing to connect today isn't quite good news to me. I tried to go to Xbox.com to alert my friends of my problem, but the site is unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugafan_2009 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I couldn't connect to a GH3 game last night(tried over 10) and I've been disconnected from a few COD4 games, so I'm thinking that there are problems.

I saw there it's been like this for a while. Has it? If it only started today, I picked a helluva day to buy it lol. Yea, you did :P Microsoft confirmed it's down, completly now, and also any Live account (meaning you can't sign in on any Live ID service, such as MSN). I was there to watch it slowly begin... Middle-Of-The-Night Last Night: No longer to connect to MSN via Xbox 360 Early This Morning Booted once randomly Present Unable to Connect :uhh: It's terrible if you go to the Xbox.com forums, people are ranting and whinnying their heads off because "microsoft cant even get basic connections right" acting like this happens all the time...Although admittedly it is some bad timing, with everyone getting new 360s, such as your case.

PSOfr33k Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hm. I can't get a CoD4 party going at all, but I can talk to my friends just fine... :? Live has been having so many random bugs lately, it's a little ridiculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 My 360 isn;t new lol, just Live :wink: I saw earlier people ranting about how this happens a lot. I don't think it does, though, but they kept comparing it to PS3, which apparantly never has this problem. i think it's just because a bunch of people got Live for Christmas and are joining now, so the servers got overloaded or something.

yomom1919 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Xbox live is messed up right now. Go to the xbox.com call of duty 4 forums [most active board on the whole site] and you'll see the million rants. Clever Pun made on the xbox forums by u2boy: "Xbox Live service to be renamed January first. It will now be called Xbox Dead" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 I found the page that tells status, but it doesn;t say it's offline, just that you will have intermittent problems. Why don't they just take it offline to repair it quicker? :-k Command the Murderous Chalices!

Why don't they just take it offline to repair it quicker? :-k That will do no good, It's not really a problem like that. The live servers are getting overloaded from all the new subscribers they got for the Holidays. What they should have done is gotten more servers to anticipate this. I would have thought they would have gotten a lot more because this also happened with the Halo 3 launch which the servers were extremely slow. It makes you think where your $50 a year is going to :wall: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushrock Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I suspect it will be fixed later today. My dad called this employee Sunday afternoon to help hook it up, and the employee expected it to go on for a couple more hours. It can't last forever.

Lenin64 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Well I finally got signed in and everything, but now I have a general question: Is it possible to mix profiles? All my achievements are on my other, regular profile, and for especially H3 it has better things for multiplayer (campaign achievements, Hayabusa armor). So is there any way I can transfer at least achievements, or do I have to do everything else over again on the XBL profile? Some of them H3 campaign achievements took quite a while...
