xbox servers down

[TheFourthLobster]

I know it's a first world problem, but really p'd off here about the hackers since it's stopped DS using his present.

I have a very disappointed husband here. He's back at work at 4am tomorrow, so was looking forward to having a few hours on it today.

Oh no. My ds will be gutted.

Minecraft
Disney Infinity
Lego Marvel superheros
Plants Vs Zombies
Kinect Sports Rivals
Angry Birds

PS server was down yesterday and today. Youngest seems to be getting coping with it though lol.

My DS upset too...he got xbox for birthday on 23rd & was looking forward to playing with his friends who got xbox one for Christmas...I'm a bit new to all of this ,but does anyone know if the Microsoft account we set up for him is therefore at risk from the hacking as well ?
I've tried to find out from the support site but no joy ....

We couldn't play Minecraft at all, it's only now I've managed to get it to work. I wouldn't go so far to say that it spoilt xmas as we had lots of family stuff to do which he wanted to join in with but at least being to get more than an hour before a family commitment today would have been good.

PSN is down as well. Frustratingly dd managed to get as far as the 'verify email' bit before it went down again. However I'm glad that we hadnt got as far as updating software - that would have been horrible to get stuck part way through.
