After a rather lengthy downtime of 8 hours, the online Xbox LIVE service is back up and available to use. Don’t expect any kind of updates when you access your dashboard, though — this is just a spring clean. The question is, though, will the usually flawless online gaming service falter when thousands upon thousands of gamers try to log on and shoot each other to death on GTA IV next tuesday? A bigger question perhaps is whether the free PSN service will give up the ghost or not. I sincerely hope not, but I think the single player would be able to keep me occupied while any problems are ironed out.
