Xbox Live unavailable Tuesday (10/17)
Xbox Live will be unavailable for "up to 24 hours" Tuesday, starting at midnight (PDT).Full details are over at Xbox.com, but below is the short version. And, folks are saying a Xbox 360 Dashboard won't be part of this update -- that's later this fall.
- Why? -- "Because we're adding some cool stuff. And we have to take the service and website offline in order to do it."
- What stuff? -- "Secret cool stuff that we'll tell you about when we're back online October 18. Other stuff we'll be talking about later in the fall." (I'm guessing the "later in the fall" stuff will tie into that Xbox Dashboard update. Though I am holding out a little hope that Gears of War or some other game has got some secret unnannounced Xbox Live cool Trojan Horse functionality.)
- Offline? 24 Hours? -- You can still earn offline achievements (which will be uploaded once Xbox Live is back online), and Xbox.com has a list of 9 other things you can do during the outage.
Not sure what time midnight PDT is for you? Check out TimeandDate.com for October 17.
