Do you have any big Xbox Live plans on Monday, September 29? Better cancel them because Microsoft's Major Smellson has posted a notice that the network will be down for maintenance, possibly lasting all day. Continued... "On Monday, 9/29/2008 from 12:01 AM PST for up to 24 hours, Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance," says Larry Hyrb. In addition to Xbox Live being down, you won't be able to access the "My Xbox" section of Xbox.com, and the Xbox forums will be in read-only mode. Do note that this downtime will not result in any new features once Live goes back up -- it's only intended to prepare the service for the big Xbox Dashboard re-launch set to happen later this year, that'll add new navigation features and as well the Microsoft Avatars.
So what will you be doing while Xbox LIVE is down? How about posting some suggestions below in the comments. There's always the option of hopping on PSN and playing some UT III. But don't tell Hryb I said that.
