Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, Xbox LIVE and the ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode (you won’t be able to post.) The remainder of Xbox.com will be available with limited interruptions. When the service returns, you will not have any new features and you will not have the new Xbox experience update. That will happen later this Fall.

Will M$ refund you a day, or are you having to pay for something that's not working?

Geez dude. You are paying for the update. Are you really that hard up for the 15 cents or so for it being down for a day ? Or maybe you rather they never do an update ?

I'm kidding bro, I don't own a 360, just like taking shots at it every once in a while.

The NetFlix thing, if done right, is going to fricking own. Unless there's a limit to how many times you can use it, or a shitty selection of movies to stream.

How will the NetFlix thing work? Obviously you have to pay to use the service, but will the selection be good? Can you stream movies in HD?

There is not a limit if you have the correct plan with Netflix.

It's probably going to be shitty, and NONE are in HD
