After listening to the podcast let me first thank you for keeping us up to date with all the Xbox live stuff. I apologize for myself and some people who might get carried away sometimes. As THE Xbox insider there will be lots of times when you'll get put on a pedestal and also bashed as the scapegoat. My two brothers and I have had trouble recovering our profiles so we can get very frustrated over a long period, but some people shouldn't rant at you in particular like they do.

Just curious, E said in the broadcast that Xbox live was fixed. When was the interview taken? Because it's obviously still down for everyone that recovered their over the last 10 days.  

This show was a very PLEASANT surprise. Made my night.

Are we able to dl and subscribe to the podcast through zune?

Speaking of policy, Why cant i type Virginia into my location bar? it says that word is forbidden? can anyone answer this. Like Virginia beach, va and Virginia beach Virginia is blocked?

@Nightwolf8810 - seems like "virgin" is blocked in the word "virginia"

I just started a new Xbox Blog today, at WinBreak.com...  then I go ahead and win the Heroes Xbox 360 HD giveaway!!!!

Best day of my freaking life.  Here's hoping I get hired for the job I interviewed for, this could shape up to be the best year EVER!

Thanks a ton Major!

Nice blogcast and kudos on the Yahoo interview/article.

Hey, I found the Zune podcast subscribe button on the left column, thanks.

Just wondering why my Gamer pic on this blog is still the one that I was required to change my pic to for authentication purposes, and not the one that it is currently?

Hey e, you sound completely knackered. Get some sleep. ;P

I like to thank e and his team for all their hard work they've been in to get LIVE up and working 24/7, you guys are awesome!

Thanks for the show Major, your awesome too. ;)

@Dormant  Yes you can!

Go to collection, podcasts, then on the leftside bottom there is a "Add a Podcast" button.  Press that and add the URL to the "RSS for Blogcasts, MP3".

Now if it would only show his icon that it shows when listening the the mp3 on your PC, or not say "Xbox Live's"

Listening now major (it dropped while I was off watching Patton on DVD).

How much will it cost to get the un-beeped interview with Mr Toulouse?

I have GOT to know what that loooooooooooooong beep was.  Yer killing me here!

Woot, new MajorCast.   My Girlfriend and I are huge fans of the cast, Just want to say great job and keep up the good work.

Special incentive for E to finish Bioshock:  I'll send you a 6 pack of your beverage of choice if you do.

Question about the policy. If a user is banned for a day when does that take affect?  I assume it should be the next time the user tries to login.

Funny thing, I signed up for unlimited texting and decided to send twitter updates to my phone about a day before you went crazy with the updates... I kept thinking I made a big mistake!

Also just want to voice my thanks to Major, E, and the rest of the Xbox team for a wonderful experience 99.9% of the time!

Lol what was the point in adding the bad word thing "the bad words are *beep*,*beep*,*beeeeeeeeeeep* and *beep*.

nooo zune version? =(

cmon major, play the game =p

I am in complete support of a boycott of all Arcade purchases untill they do right by us. With 30+ titles bought(rented)that I have paid over $200usd and going through my 4th 360 it makes sick that I can only play 1 game if my system is not live. How is this good support. All this accomplished is to find a better option. I know the PS3 has the same rules but at least my system hasn't craped out after normal use. Microsoft is blowing there goodwill with lots of faulty hardware and terrible service rules. Do the right thing Microsoft but until then BOYCOTT

Any word on if Microsoft CES events will be broadcast quasi-live over the net?

also just wondering, why doesnt UK get inside xbox, we just get aload of adverts for junk.
