I go to login to play some Call of Duty 4 online and i get a Xbox Live Maintenance notification, anyone got any ideas in the point of the maintenance?

They sent out a message on Saturday to all users (or at least I got one ) saying that they were gonna be down for 8 hours on Monday for a service upgrade/update (can't remember which word they used, I think it was 'upgrade').

Cool, wonder if it will bring anything to the user or whether its just backend updates we will soon find out i guess, at what time does it end for you because the internet and my xbox say two different times

Well I checked the Australian website and it seems to be quoting the maintenance time in the Pacific Time timezone.
2:00 to 10:00 Pacific Time translates to 7pm to 3am AEST (Sydney time).

Probably updating before the GTA4 release. There's gonna be a whole lot of people online on that day

lol possibly, I would hope they would be capable of dealing with that sort of load already though (without requiring an upgrade)

This is for maintenance, there are no new features on that will appear on your Xbox 360 console or Xbox.com when the service comes back online.

Probably for GTA IV...

Can you imagine if Live didn't work at the release! LOL

Personally i would prefer them solving the lag issues in CoD4 when you play people outside of your country <_<

I don't think that's anything they can solve, the problem is from distance (and the time to send a signal over that distance) rather than from poor servers.
However, I heard they're constructing another inter-continental link from Australia to the US, not sure if it'll provide any reduced pings though.

I managed to play Call of Duty 2 and 1 online against americans no problem
