It isn't XBox Live's fault. Lizard Squad or what ever they call themselves were running a DDoS on XB Live and PSN last night. Also mentioned this was just a small taste of what is to come on Christmas Day. Bunch of dick wads.... DDoS is the equivalent of lighting dog shit in a bag. Imagine all that effort being applied to something useful.... Wouldn't be surprised if it happens again during the DLC drop.
