According to The Bitbag, Microsoft will be compensating their Xbox LIVE Gold customers for the problems the service has been having over the holiday—somehow. An unnamed Microsoft contact told the site:
...we will definitely be doing something for our Gold members that weren't able to get online over the last week.
Subscriber rights to some sort of refund seem a little vague here, especially since Microsoft has said that the service isn't technically down.It's like if your satellite or cable was working, but the channels youactually wanted to watch weren't coming in—is that a full refundsituation, since you only bought the subscription for those channelsanyway? Or, since you can still watch HGTV and the 24-hour OprahChannel...well, I think you get my wordy metaphor.
It's just a shame that LIVE is having so many problems during atime when people can actually play (with plenty of newly gifted gamesto boot.)
