It's a decent system though, you pay a single fee for just about all the xbox games that support online play. I know that Final Fantasy XI (which is available on PS2 with hard drive, Xbox 360, and PC) requires another subscription from square-enix. And there are some other PC games that require fees (World of Warcraft) so the "pay-to-play" scheme is not unusual. ]]>Dec 24th 2007 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/

Just out of curiosity, how would you tell if it was any closer to getting back online? If it's down, it's down. If it's up, it's up.

Maybe they have one of those out to lunch door clock things that says, " We will be back in 1 hour."]]>Dec 22nd 2007 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/Dec 22nd 2007 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/Dec 22nd 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/Dec 22nd 2007 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/22/xbox-live-suffering-from-major-outage-on-christmas-weekend-ouc/
The next time I see the power company put out a "men working" sign, I'm gonna have to stop and offer help, because they're obviously confused and disoriented about they're doing.
