This is big news, if substantiated, but all of the major gaming outlets are reporting on XBox live being hacked.

Comments, thoughts, concerns? Personally I hope Microsoft can get the holes fixed as quickly as possible, so that people are a)not stealing points and b)giving themselves an unfair advantage.

That sucks. I hope PSU is not messed with. If so it will be ruined like it is on the PC and PS2. Microsoft better step up and fix this quick if it is happening.

Wow, who'd have thought being denied a service that only the US get's (windows live integration) would finally pay off.  Tongue

Yeah, that's a serious concern since a lot of gamer's credit cards are attached to their live accounts.
