If you’re awake now (or from another country) then you are in luck.
Major Nelson is just about to join the entire Xbox Live team for one of their regular meetings (The meeting starts at Midnight SA Time) and you have been personally invited to join in and ask some questions.
Okay that’s not entirely true as everyone with a twitter account can join in but you get the point.
If you have a twitter account then all you need to do is post your question to the hashtag #heyxboxlive and hopefully they will then answer it during the meeting. Unfortunately they won’t answer every question but if you are one of the gazillions of people who want to know why the HDD is so damn expensive in the Xbox 360 then this is your time to put your question to the people in the know.
You can follow all the questions here and possibly some of the Majors answers.
To tweet to a hashtag all you need to do is post your question and place #heyxboxlive at the end, it’s that simple.
And if you are a bit stuck for questions but still want to be involved then here are some sample questions for you to use
- When can we expect Official Live support in South Africa as promised? #heyxboxlive
- Seriously the peripheral prices, what’s up with that? #heyxboxlive
- Are we ever going to get a clan feature for Xbox Live? #heyxboxlive
- How about letting us exchange gamerscore for arcade titles? #heyxboxlive
- How many websites have you spotted trying to spam this idea wit advertising? #heyxboxlive
- Has Major Nelson hassled you to integrate a Twitter feed into the dashboard yet? #heyxboxlive
What else are you guys going to ask? (If anyone is awake that is)

Are the mandatory updates really the cause for E74 and RROD? And if so where is my free month xbox live gold membership to keep me happy?

I think you will find that all your games are lagging but some games are just better at disguising it.
It is physically impossible for a network connection not to lag against international players and when you are on a wireless connection the lag will be bad. It’s just the limitations of the technology and nothing to do with the PSN or Xbox Live

On a good day,I tried ACE COMBAT 6,on xbl with a dial up connection with zero lag. . .I was shocked,but it was with just 16 players,other days with 3G i’d get lag with 16 players so its weird.But of my ps3 games,I get the most lag with UT3 and Top Spin 3,While Warhawk runs flawlessly with international players.Xbl side of things,there are days with 3G where the only way to get kills in Geow2 is with the chainsaw. . . .,and Im waiting for june to get an adsl line. .till then,Im stuck with this crap.
