Xbox Live to be down on June 16th

Major Nelson has recently reported on his official blog that the Xbox Live service will be down for up to 24 hours starting on Tuesday, June 16th at 12:01 AM PST. This downtime includes the ‘My Xbox’ portion of Xbox.com along with making it impossible for users to post on the Xbox forums.

This window of downtime will give Microsoft the chance to prep the service for the new Xbox Live features that were announced at this year’s E3. Those features include Last.fm, Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm and more.

However, please make note that you will not gain access to these features once Xbox Live goes back up as they will not officially go live until later this year.

PSN Down For Maintenance

Sony has sent out a notice that some parts of their online service, the PlayStation Network will be down for maintenance. The notice says that it is regularly scheduled maintenance but there’s probably a little more to it. Of course the official notice apologizes for any inconvenience, but I’m guessing the recent exploits allowing users to put their own content onto the servers for Home might be fixed when things back up.
