Not everyone had problems with xbox Live though, how are they going to differentiate who had problems and who didnt? (I know I did though!!!), or are they just going to compensate everyone??

I had the whole holidays with no Live action, and managed to get on last night with poor matchmaking times!

It'll be a blanket token gesture that will cost them very little in money and admin, like adding a week to accounts, or something.

What they really need to do is differentiate between Gold and Silver with a little more than online play. Discounts for purchases, bigger gaps / exclusive items for gold, etc.

does my bum look big

a month free for every gold member is the least they could do

I want some free MS points (and don't be stingy), don't give me some **** I don't care about. What I had to go through was complete BS with Xbox Live, it was even effecting my game play on things that I wasn't doing with Live just being logged in

I tried playing online on Christmas day at about 4pm and had no problems at all.....

a week? lol what a joke....its been playing up for me for a MONTH and then it took them 2-3 weeks to answer one out of 7 emails and then they ignored them all and sent me a blanket email suggesting to call them...i dont think so! last time i called them it was a load of indians who couldnt speak or understand english and clearly didnt know what an xbox 360 is...pathetic! MS owe me big time!

I was playing nfs pro street and it wouldnt give me leaderboards or let me upload my time to live! I played halo 3 aand it tried to charge me 4 more XLive!! WTF

i have had trouble for approx 3 weeks with games starting and stopping and connections breaking down. i could not even get onto the market place. i have heard they are going to give us a free download game which should be fun trying to play it online on a system that is still playing up
