Xbox Live Down on April 1 - But Why?


Some of you have already probably received the message on your Xbox Live account from MS that service will be interrupted on April 1, 2008

This is what Gamerscore Blog wrote:

We’re hearing that Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com will be down for routine maintenance for about three hours on Tuesday, April 1, from 2-5 AM PDT (0900-1200 GMT).

Here is what the message from Xbox Live reads on our machines:

Xbox Live will be unavailable for approximately 3 hours on April 1st 2008 to upgrade the service starting 2PM PDT.

Subtle yet different, the quote from Gamerscore Blog leads us to believe that it is just normal site maintenance while the one in our Xbox Live accounts lets us know that it is some kind of upgrade? Perhaps a new “spring update” for us all or just a dirt dirty April fool’s joke to toy with our emotions! Rather interesting since people were so up in arms after the past Live outage, risky to say the least, perhaps it has something to do with the new Halo maps?

What do you think?

    There will be absolutely nothing new on your Xbox 360 after the service comes back online. This is standard server maintenance and upgrades that Microsoft performs every quarter

    Upgrading servers, not upgrading anything that will appear as a new feature. When we have *real* features to add, we’ll make a big deal about it.
