Xbox Live Is Down, Microsoft Is Already Working On It

Xbox One bundles take it up a Gear.

We’ve also asked Microsoft for an update, and we’ll update this story with any new information.

Because the Xbox One’s online feature set is tied to the Xbox Live network, the not-so-uncommon Xbox Live outage brings the entire console offline. It also announced two 1TB Xbox One bundles during past week, one is the Xbox One Rise of the Tomb Raider, and the other is Xbox One holiday bundle, which includes copies of three games: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Rare Replay, and Ori and the Blind Forest.

The bundle includes: Custom Xbox One wireless controller with 3.5mm headset jack; Spartan-themed SteelBook case with Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition full game download; Guardian model by Metal Earth; Exclusive DLC: Warzone REQ Bundle and more. You may recall that in July, Microsoft introduced the Xbox One Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Bundle. Whether or not you buy that assertion, the company clearly needed to win back the love of its most loyal customers. This bundle launches sometime in October for $499.99.

The second bundle is the Xbox One with Kinect Bundle.

The Xbox One bundle linked to the motion tracking system includes the 500 GB hard drive version of the home console and codes to download Dance Central Spotlight, Kinect Sports Rivals and Zoo Tycoon, all titles that use the tech. Best Buy’s Web page simply shows a “Coming Soon” button, while Target’s page says the item is no longer available.
