Oh well, my 360 RROD'd (red ring of death) on Thursday/Friday rang up Xbox 360 support Friday night (really nice, smooth and in my opinion quick... only 13mins all up), was waiting for the email from them, waited til Sunday and then decided to (by chance) check my Junk mail folder in Hotmail and to my surprise there it was there.
Hotmail was 'smart enough' to set the mail as junk...... riiiiight.

Now just gotta get to sending the naked (hard drive and faceplate need removal for when it gets sent) x360 off and then I reckon it'll take 2-3 weeks until I see it again, new or same 360 I sent, either way I'll have a nice HDTV by then so it's all good, nice welcoming home gift for it.
The Samsung LA32R81BD is going to set me back a cool $1600 but I reckon it's all worth it, for the price I haven't seen anything better, sure a nice Samsung 305T monitor would be nice but that doesn't have HDMI connections.... which I'll need when I get the PS3, and the Elite Xbox 360.

Meh, regardless... going to have to wait until I can enjoy playing Saints Row again -.-

The new update ive noticed makes users under 18 allowed to use MSN which imo is pretty fun, it also lets people know what im doing such as if i was on halo 3 etc.:lol: And the new marketplace update looks much better except it takes abit loading it up.

I had the same problem and it is because it is christmas break and so many people are online and Xbox live got overload with people that they can't maintain it so it had a limit of how many people can be signed in to Xbox live and how many can't

I read it online and thats how I know; searched for the problem on google

no its not because they just announced that Xbox Live is going to give everybody that has Xbox Live a free game that you can download from the Marketplace for all of the sever problems

the only thing is that they haven't announced what game they are going to give us


EDIT: I have a question, Does anyone know why I can't download the Bioshock demo because it is rated M, but I can download every other game that is rated M?

and whenever I try to download it it says that my account is not eligable to download it (it say something along those lines)
