Xbox Live and Xbox.com are back online

Xbox Live, Xbox.com and the Xbox Forums are now back online. In addition we have some new features for you. An all new ‘My Xbox’ section (with the ability to quickly see the number of friends online, messages) with quick links to :

View your recent players list
Read your Xbox Live messages on Xbox.com
Send messages Xbox Live messages on the web (no way to currently send/listen to voice messages yet!)
A quick way to compare your profile with anyone on your friends list. 

Now, it’s important to know that there are certain things you can ONLY do with a Gold account.

You can read more details on the new features over at Xbox.com, along with a handy grid that spells out what Silver and Gold members can do regarding messages.

I am working on some screen shots and will post them as soon as I can.

Have fun!

Edit: I just added photos of some of the new web features to my Flickr site.

Here is one showing me sending a message to 'e':

Nice. Can't wait till there is some messenger integration, and voice messages work.

I was shocked at teh 200 message limit, but I guess it makes sense...

Really don't get why silvers cant send but whatever.

You guys had to take Live down all day for this?

I guess I won't be happy until the Dashboard adds background downloading.

This is pretty damn awesome, the Live team have done some amazing stuff with Xbox.com after the 360 was launched. Keep it up!
