    Despite the date, this isn't an April Fools joke.

      I was actually about to ask that.

        Well, planned maintenance at 2AM really isn't that much of a good joke

          The joke could be that they "forgot" to put it back up though that would piss a lot of people off. But hey, this is Microsoft we're talking about; it wouldn't be the first time they've screwed anyone over if this happened.

      9 AM I believe. You should be in school unless you are out so it shouldn't really bother a lot of people.

    I start work at 9am that morning so this doesn't affect me in the slightest.

    Can't you all see? They're simply preparing for the utter failure that will be the Army of Two demo(like the game sadly was)!

    Does anyone know what time that is in EDT? (Eastern Daylight time)

      5-8 AM. There's a three hour difference between Pacific and Eastern time.

    Eh, I think if might me an hour difference from EST. So like if it was 8:00 EDT, it would be 9:00 EST. Not 100% sure on that though.


    Anyways, hopefully they give us something good with the update, like multiple people in a chat at once. That would be nice.

      I think it might just be them updating their servers, but good new features are always cool.

        I don't know. Microsoft has had spring updates for the 360 in the past where they added new features like multiple downloads for content. Maybe they'll add some new feature this time too.

          I kinda doubt it though. Usually when there's a large update, MS does a whole "Look at what we're doing, aren't we great?" video days in advance.

          Silent Storm's right on that one. There's usually a fair bit of previews before any major updates.

    You know what would be one of the greatest pranks ever?

    If Microsoft announced on the 1st that Xbox Live will be free from now on.

    Bad for business but good for news.

    Free XBL and 3-way-chat and I would be a happy man.
