RE: Xbox Live Maintenance
They sent out a message on Saturday to all users (or at least I got one :P) 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').

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 :P

lol possibly, I would hope they would be capable of dealing with that sort of load already though :p (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

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.
