Xbox Live won't crash again this Christmas as it did last year, Xbox group product manager Aaron Greenberg has promised.
Speaking to Kotaku, the Xbox man said that even with all of the new, cheaper consoles downloading the New Xbox Experience on Christmas day, Microsoft will be prepared.
"We've built a lot of infrastructure, a lot of behind the curtain no one sees," he said. "This is something that Microsoft is good at. We are well prepared for the type of growth we expect this holiday.
"We will have people standing by, more people on hand than we've ever had before," he said. "Knock on wood we will hopefully not have any issues."
Sounds like that after last years embarrassing downtime, they've not just sured things up but have gone the full monty with "belt & braces" resilience...let's hope that with the large surge in predicted Christmas sales and spike in existing & new Live users over the festive period that they don't end up with egg on their face!

Can't say I've noticed any speed problems at all after the NXE update, infact, other than a few delays from GoW2 match-ups which are said to be a game specific issue rather than bandwidth/Server, everything's been smooth and if anything, even slicker.

Sounds like you either have a sick 360, sick internet/wireless connection or both.
Mine is just fine. It even seems quicker than before to navigate the menus.
i don't care about live,my 360 crashes after 3-5 minutes after launching fallout3, even gears starting to have some framerate issues, i got this shrot from february and it's broken already .
i thought that my 360 was starting to feck up! marketplace is rediculously slow, everything else is ok - including online multiplayer ms are a bunch of k**b jockies get it sorted
Yeah right. Is there anyone present who recalls any major online meeting place/gaming portal not crashing upon facing the online hordes of players? I'm not saying it's impossible but I'm hard pressed to think of any where the servers didn't collapse. Feel free to correct me.
