Xbox Live: Down!

Evening all!

Yes, it is true - Xbox Live appears to be down in certain areas around the globe. I reside in Manchester, UK and it's currently down for me as well. I did retain service until approximately 15 minutes ago then I joined the rest of you in total blackout!

Many users have made their disappointment clear:

Whilst it's not clear what Microsoft are doing to resolve the issue. one thing they certainly are doing is providing a link for you to check on their progress.

...

Oh, wait, the link they supplied is dead - doesn't work, no comprende (you get the picture).

I guess we'll have to just sit tight for now and wait for them to bring it back to life.

I'll provide a full report once it's up and running again.
