Xbox LIVE down for 24hr maintenance - try these instead!
By Jessica Citizen - Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:30pm
Okay guys - I hate to be the one to remind you, but - speaking of Xbox 360, Xbox LIVE is now offline for the next 24 hours. It'll be back at 4:29pm (Adelaide time) tomorrow, September 30th - and, I must remind you, there won't be any obvious changes for you to play with, after the time away. It's all just a preparation for the New Xbox Experience, which is due to arrive later this Spring (Fall in the northern hemisphere!).
To keep yourselves occupied for the next 24 hours, the guys at Xbox have taken the time to prepare a list of 10 Things to Do While Xbox LIVE is Offline for Maintenance - and we've got all ten, right here.
UPDATED TO ADD: Maintenance is taking longer than expected, we'll keep you posted when we know an expected time for services to resume.

...as cheesy and contrived as they may be, there's some interesting ideas there. What will you be doing while Xbox LIVE is down? Will your Monday night gaming plans be shattered? Will you even notice?
- Today is International Inventor’s Day. Create a time machine so you can fast forward 24 hours when the downtime will be over.
- Read the unofficial strategy guide to Braid so you can boost your Achievements and finally beat the game.
- Head over to the nearest shopping centre to search for inspiration and design ideas to use when creating your Avatar. We hear kilts and t-shirts with gamer slogans will be in this year.
- Go out and take some great pictures to share with your friends during an Xbox LIVE Party. Wear your kilt and gamer t-shirt.
- Flip through your collection and look for games that you haven’t completed and get stuck back into them. Yes, even that nasty boss battle that you are avoiding going back to.
- Get ready for Lips by singing in front of a mirror with your beer bottle in your hand.
- Read Games On Net to catch up on the latest features coming with the New Xbox Experience.
- Play some couch co-op on Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise and grow your garden, but watch out for Professor Pester, please.
- Play through the story-mode of the original Gears of War so you have a story refresher before Gears of War 2 launches in November. Practice your Roadie Run. You could even make some chainsaw noises if you felt like it.
- Get some sun. You are going to be spending A LOT more time inside once the New Xbox Experience launches.
Let's hope this doesn't greet you tomorrow...
