    Another bit of info. Games wil start if you make sure you're disconnected completly from the internet. No apps or online functions but at least you can play your games. Hope this helps some people. I know this is frustrating but this isn't as bad as the
    time Sony's network was down for 3 months. lol

    So with things not working while online makes me wonder if the reason is because the Xbox is not sending information but receiving it because it does load ads n whatnot... Idk just a thought. cant fix anything if you dont know the cause of the problem

    Hey there

    welcome to the Xbox Forums

    As a Community Member, I know how frustrating this can be for you. All I can say in this moment and time, is to hang in there. Microsoft and Xbox Live are more then likely looking into this issue. Please keep a eye on the
    Xbox Live Service Alert,
    (Whish has also been stated above)

    Unfortunately that is the only information I can give you right now. Only Microsoft or Xbox Live Employees can give further information in regards to this issue, as they will know more about this. Please note that they will be marked X or S on their forum
    profile.

    I hope this helps,

    Regards,

    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.

    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.

    It seems the latest update is from over 24 hours ago. Our system was apparently unaffected until we tried to play games today (was working fine last night).. Is it getting worse, spreading to other users?? Please provide a more timely update including any
    estimate on when this will be fixed, etc... Kids' party coming up and we are trying to plan. Thanks!
