Sure it is. Including Sony's maintenance I'm not sure either console network has been down 24 hours. With even more importance on online infrastructure there's no telling how much more robust the MS network would have grown to at this point.

All a moot discussion anyways. We already have the online-focused consoles everyone took to the streets and set themselves on fire in protest of with the original X1 announcement. Just look at the posts in this thread.

Trophies always save locally and then sync when convenient to do so. I've gotten months of trophies appear at one time in my account and the activity feed.

You'd have to be a pathetic excuse of a human being to do stuff like this. I don't care if it's kids that are behind it someone needs to ram their teeth down their throats. I can live without gaming but I just wanted to enjoy my couple day's off work with some gaming with friends.

That's also not the point. The point is why do they make us pay for online service when its so easy to be taken down and hacked by teenage kids with web booters. Thats what I want to know.

I really need for MS to address this **** man. Its not right that these paid for services can be taken down. They do not inform their customer base as to why nor do they provide us with a statement of what they are doing to prevent this and legal action they are taking against these goons.

with that reasoning, Netflix and all other online services should be free as well. they all are vulnerable to this kind of attack.
