If you've experienced trouble with Xbox Live the past few days, start shaking your fist at everyone playing Halo 3, because it's basically their fault.
The surge of activity on Live and Xbox.com that occurred after the game's release resulted in frozen screens, or simply being shut out of Live. Microsoft admits there was a bit of a hiccup, but says everything's fine now:
Xbox Live and Xbox.com experienced minor issues as a result of increased activity due to the launch of Halo 3.
The issues were quickly resolved and both Xbox Live and Xbox.com are now working fine.
The larger problem may have been dealt with, some are still experiencing freeze ups on Live as recently as yesterday afternoon.
The price of success...
