   i vaguely remember a story about how Microsoft couldn't shut down Live for the original Xbox because some users refused to log out. does anyone else remember this?

   it must have been an urban legend, right? surely Microsoft could just manually boot users? otherwise that seems like a huge oversight.

     I know that was kinda off topic, lol, but that is the only xBox live "thing" that happened I can recall.

     I don't remember that, but I do seem to remember some big xbox live outage that lasted like a day or so, and a bunch of gamers wanted to sue.
     If we could tap into and collect gamer rage, we could power the planet with free energy forever.
