If you thought the Xbox Live outage over the holidays was frustrating, get ready for some anger management classes. Microsoft is intentionally shutting down Xbox Live for the year!
Why you’ll be playing a whole lot of single player games in 2008, after the jump!
“It’s not fun anymore”
That’s what Microsoft had to say about their race against Sony for the best online gaming platform.
“We’re tired of the whiny subscribers, complaining about outages, slow service and the price. I mean, come on, you get demo downloads days before silver members and don’t even get me started on all the free gamer pics you can get! “
Microsoft, embroiled in lawsuits and involved in a shortage of qualified tech support has decided to give it a year.
“Let the fanboys play Call of Duty 4 single player only. Then they’ll come crawling back to us.”

LOL! It took me a few seconds to remember Fiction Friday…as usual. Great job, keep it up!
Thank god they are shutting down… I guess they went bankrupt from giving everyone Undertow for free instead of just only the Gold subscribers… SCREW SILVER MEMBERS!!!
I bet undertow got real rich from this
…
Even without XBL, i still wont buy a playstation lol…
HOORAH FOR FICTION FRIDAY!!
I still dont understand why Microsoft are charging to play online.
Im happy I bought my PS3!
The PSN sucks thats why it is free. UT3 is all over the place sometimes.
Well I dont really find that it *sucks*
The online play is perfect if you have a good connection (When I play mines anyway) ok some games have poor servers but that depends on the company supplying game servers (when its non-sony)
Ok so far there isnt a HUGE amount of contet on the store compared to the 360 yet. But the Live Download Service has been up MUCH longer
I have to agree with ajnokia, while there isn’t too much context in Sony’s store, I am not having any trouble with server connections. It actually pretty good!
@people saying PSN sucks
justify your claims dont just spout off like a fricking robot moron
you almost got me, i’m tired and almost fell for it. you should call it friction, actual word that holds both words.
