Microsoft has announced that they will take down Xbox Live, as well as Xbox.com, for a scheduled maintenance at midnight Pacific Time on Tuesday October 17, 2006 for up to 24 hours.
For the first hour or two that Xbox.com and Xbox Live are down, you'll get error messages—when you hit Xbox.com you'll see a Server Not Available message, and if you try to connect to Xbox Live you'll get the "can't connect" message. Don't freak. It's not your account, your computer, your browser, or your ISP. It's us. After a couple hours you will see a "We're down for maintenance" page on Xbox.com and a similar message on your Xbox console.
The downtime is worth the suffering as Microsoft promises they are adding "some cool stuff".
What kind of cool stuff?, you may ask. According to the software giant it is "secret cool stuff that we'll tell you about when we're back online October 18. Other stuff we'll be talking about later in the fall."
