I JUST got an e-mail from MS

Xbox Live goes live!
It’s finally here! Online gaming has been a big part of the Xbox vision from Day One—that’s why you’ve already got an Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox. Now, on the one-year anniversary of the Xbox video game system, Xbox Live is a reality!

No longer just a beta program for a mere 35,000 lucky participants, Xbox Live is open to everyone with a high-speed Internet connection and an Xbox Live Starter Kit. If you don’t have your Starter Kit yet, don’t delay. Get your kit, choose a gamertag and START PLAYING TODAY!

See you online!

I am going to go try to connect with my modded XBox, what a sec for my response...

1) I can't connect (wow! how obvious was that!)
2) Xbox.com/Live still says an hour for launch

oh well...

Yep I got that aswell

finally willing to admit they are detecting mod chips or still in denial?

Still in denial or course....still says an hour for it launch.

Jeez people!

Why don't you at the VERY LEAST wait for the counter to hit ZERO!

Even then it may be some time before all of the DNS's and routers get their updates at the 4:30am "Magic Internet Witching hour".

AFTER that you should try.

You'd think that D.C. just got nuked by the reactions around here.

I can't even ping the addresses my router reports it's going out to.

I'll try in the morning, still need to go purchase Xbox Live. If I can't connect then maybe I'll have to purchase another Xbox just for Live
