The launch of Xbox 360 Live service seemed promising enough. It possible to download or rent TV shows and movies with Microsoft's newest service. So are you wondering what the price is yet? Much, much more than what you bargained for as the service is facing problems already....surprise, surprise. Who would've thought microsoft is prone to problems huh?

XBL received a massive positive response, as was expected (Microsoft always finds ways to lure people into their traps!). All the users rushed to download their High-Definition content. This of course, led to an increase in traffic which in turn made the service unstable. This resulted in a number of problems such as users being unable to download anything at all or the downloads took hours to complete or even worse, some got charged twice due to an error.

Rumour has it that Microsoft is frantically trying to piece this broken service back together, and have it running better than ever (sure, sure). I wonder what ingenious plan they will come up with this time. Oh, that's right..just add a few more servers and a little more bandwidth! Voila, problem solved.
