XBL is back up, Xbox.com website is changed
« on: June 17, 2009, 10:27:16 PM »
The layout looks more AJAX-y; lots of simple rollover effects, seems a little more responsive.

Web-based Marketplace is still down.

I can't find how to compare games with Friends anymore. It used to be Friends > profile > More Games > select the title, and it would give a comparative layout. "More Games" isn't there anymore. (reads official xbox.com forum) Oh, it's in the per-user popup from your Friends page now. That's... arguably more convenient, provided you know to hover to bring up additional information.

Unlike NXE, it's probably better than before overall, but it's going to take some getting used to.

This is becoming too bloated for its own good.

I want my previous settings.

I like it. At least I can get demos again.

When could you not get demos?

I like the new Friends page, with all of them on there at a time, but removing that page's "Compare Games" link is stupid (well, admittedly it was previously labeled the "More games..." link, but).

Huh, is it supposed to be up?  When I go to xbox.com it says that Xbox.com and the Xbox LIVE® service are currently down for maintenance.

Both the main site and the marketplace are operational for me. Sadly, I see that MtG is now on Xbox Live. FEAR! I shook that monkey off my back so long ago; though maybe if there are no booster packs, my wallet will be safe this time around.

The marketplace was down for a few hours that morning. For me anyways.  :-\
