Gay, never mind I am about to answer my own question..
On Monday, September 29, Microsoft has announced that XBox Live and parts of XBox.com will be offline for maintenance. This maintenance will take up to twenty four hours so don’t plan on being on Live during any point on Monday. This downtime is going to be spent upgrading the service as well as doing preventive maintenance before the busy holiday season is upon us. Microsoft has emphatically stated that when you sign on to XBox Live on Tuesday after the maintenance that you will NOT see the new Xbox experience. That is still slated to be released later this fall. Rumors have it being released sometime in November, presumably around the launch of Gears of War 2. However that is just a rumor at this point. With E For All taking place in just a few days and Microsoft having a presence at the show that would seem like the perfect place to announce a release date. Stay tuned as we will bring you more details as they develop.

"This downtime is going to be spent upgrading the service as well as doing preventive maintenance before the busy holiday season is upon us."
Seems to sum it up right there. I guess they expect the servers to be impacted more this winter and want to get maintenance done beforehand? =-O

It will never be 125. The price will go up. I think it's a temp down in price until they sell all the xbox arcades.

I had an xbox I gave it to my brother, I bought him Crazy Taxi 3. The one for the Dreamcast was much better.. but he liked it. He went and got Halo,Halo 2, Fable, Jade Empire (I think its the name) Tenchu (Forgot the name of it.. it has 3 playable characters) Toejam and Earl 3 (BLECH! Worst Game Ever!) I all ready registered my disgust on the internet... thank you.

Shooters, the occasional game like fable, and sports is what the xbox is known for. PS is for rpg action adventure and platform, and nintendo is for kids. Theres overlap, but thats the trend.

I have always been a koolaid fan myself. Kids are great as long as they arent little tyants lol. You guys sound like you have so much fun all the time. I am on these forums while at work busting my butt to pay the bills.
Is there an easier was to navigate the forums? I couldnt keep up with each topic and who posted what when so I just click last 100 posts and do it that way. Its hard to race with you 2.

Its not very fun for me, I cant decide what I want to do, I spend most of the day at the computer. I play games such as The Simpsons Hit and Run... god I love that game! Since I beaten it, I go for most cars destroyed without getting busted. Oh and I surpassed One Million dollars on the game, it doesnt go any higher... it does but it takes 4 coins to equal 1...
