  3. Xbox Games and Apps not working.

    If you go to your settings and then into network/network settings and test network connection. It says xbox is experiencing purchase and content usage problems. That might be your issue and hopefully cleared up soon.

    Same issue. I've reformatted my console and removed/reinstalled the latest update, but it still doesn't work.

    Yeah same here.... Worked fine yesterday nothing has happened to it sence. I considered a possible power spike being the culprit but Strange for all of us in differnt time zones to hit the same issue in different time zones on the same day.... Possible
    Microsoft wanting Xbox one sales to increase or is it possible their system is so primitive that malware has been introduced into their system... Regardless lack of support or even comments from their so called "staff" is highly unprofessional and I think
    I might just have to sever my ties with them

    if your Xbox 360 Console is getting stuck on a black screen when trying to launch games or apps, hang in there! We are working toward a fix for this too. Thanks for your patience during this time. We'll provide an update for you as soon as we can.

    games and apps not working

    I am having this same issue. I did find a small solution to it. It only works for games that have a disc though. If you have your settings where you go to the dashboard when you start your console go to your system settings and change your startup so that
    it plays the disc. Then put in the game you want to play. Turn off your 360 and start it back up. It should take you to the game and work just fine. It is slightly inconvenient to have to turn the xbox off and on just to switch games its better than it not
    working at all. I hope this helps!

    Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus are all not working... everything loads fine, and then black screen, and my console is frozen. Had this problem for the last few days with Netflix, and occasionally with Hulu Plus, now it just sucks. Did I mention that it SUCKS?


    Of course, when I tried checking my network connection I got a yellow notice that "matchmaking" had some issue. WTF? And, said, go to Xbox live, for a service announcement, that I, of course, cannot locate.
