Xbox 360 broken again? or is live messed up?

Question

Okay so when I go to sign in live it just shows the loading circle symbol thingy, but if i hit the center buton, I can see I'm online, and my friends and stuff...only when i try to go into a privite chat it shows "invite sent" then it just dispears and it wont stay no matter how many times I invite..It's been doing this since yesterday T_T oh, I just tried opening a friends message when it said "can't do this go to www.xboxsupport.com or something along thos lines.

Answer 1

i think live is messed up,i just had exactly the same problem,try resetting the console, check connections, just mess around with it, i got it eventually but market place kept telling me status code: 80072746 and that it can't retrieve my info but i think its working im not sure, im just glad i ain't the only person, means it's live and not our consoles.

suppose their servers are busy and jammed up this time of year with everyone getting 360's for christmas

well hopefully good luck to both of us
