Xbox LIVE will be down on Sept. 10

Xbox LIVE will be down on September 10th, 2007 for “approximately 4 hours”, starting at 2:01am PDT. Naturally, this means Xbox LIVE will be down between five and seven hours, as surely this update is in preparation of everyone in the civilized world getting online to own each other in Halo 3… or they’re installing the fall dashboard update… or it’s just normal maintenance and I’m reading too much into this.

While Xbox LIVE is down, here are a few suggestions on what you can do to pass the time…

  • Go for a bike ride. As studies have shown, people who sit on their asses for hours and hours at a time tend to get fat. So by simply going for a bike ride, or even a walk, you’ll be keeping yourself in shape, and by keeping in shape, you’ll be able to play games longer.

    Also, women love guys who aren’t covered in Frito crumbs.

  • Watch TV. Sure, the new season of just about every show under the sun doesn’t start until the end of the month, but now would be a good time to watch last season of your favorite show to refresh your memory.
  • Go to school. I know, not a popular choice, but school will help you better yourself and get you a really nice job later in life where you make a ton of cash. For the record, cash = video games.
  • Sex. Nothing beats sex. Not even Halo.

  • As for me, I’ll be in class. Being bored to tears.
