1) The service is NOT officially launched yet (I am a beta tester, but still, the service is not officially launched yet)
2) MS is doing work with the service until the official launch so that is why people are experiencing problems.
3) I received my Xbox Live retail disc in the mail and it says that my service will be activated on 11.14.02
4) I have tried disabling my Matrix and using my original HD, and XBox Live is still not found. This "blocking of Xboxes" is just lame.

Also, when Lord of the Rings was released to the usual places, the game did not work for people. Suddenly, people were saying it was detecting a modded system and won't work! LOL, day later, the case was revealed it was a bad rip.

i am a beta tester also....

i have tried to log on this eve with my modded box - didnt work

i logged on with my mates unmodded box with my account - it worked

the difference - i think that's obvious.

I will say that you should be able to connect starting tomorrow or possible Friday. Setting up a global online network is not an easy task. MS will be bombarded with new users this week and they are just preparing for it. I don't understand why people just do not get this.

Yes, it is obvious that MS is preparing to officially launch the service this week. Give it a couple days.

I can't logon with MotoGp/Whacked demo new or beta. I can not logon to Mechassault. I can logon with Fever demo and dash. This is from a modded system. Not sure what to think.

What the hell is wrong with you people? This is not hard to understand.

XBOX LIVE IS NOT OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED YET. PEOPLE WILL GET PROBLEMS BEFORE THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH. IS THIS TOO OF A COMPLEX IDEA TO UNDERSTAND?

I wish opjose was here right now...

Q)Why can't I connect to Xbox Live? I got the retail kit at Walmart but it says I can't connect. What the hell? Are they blocking my modded system?

A)Xbox Live is not officially launched yet. Try Thursday/Friday.

i know what your saying shanafan, i really hope you're right.

im in the UK and have had my beta kit for just 3 days now and only managed to play twice, once on monday and once this eve on my mates xbox.

im gutted to say the least.

i know all you guts are experts and stuff, but the only connection i can make between logging on and not is a mod.

it would be fair to say that the majority of ppl that cant get on now are ppl with modded boxes.

i do hope im so wrong and you're spot on.

let us all hope than shanafan is correct with his assumption here [ he probably is , but then again like he said it is not launched YET - so only time will tell ] . I would say that eveyone should relax and just wait until the 15th to see what happens .

I am beta tester too and I haven't been able to connect since Nov 11. I have been enjoying it since September

Ok, It is NOT a server issue. Nor coincedence.. I did repeated tests. Here are my findings:

Starting at Noon today on a NEVER BEEN MODDED Xbox.

12pm - Xbox LIVE retail version WORKING on the new retail servers. (didn't try the beta disc)

12:30pm today - flashed Matrix modchip with EvoX2.5 color bios, installed. Works. (see orange/red Xbox logo)

12:45pm - Launch MotoGP Online Demo Retail disc. Select my username, long pause, "Your Xbox console cannot connect to Xbox Live".

12:50pm - Removed Matrix completely, launch same MotoGP disc, Xbox Live WORKS.

1:00pm - Install Matrix, set to "Swap Mode". Launch MotoGP retail disc, "Your Xbox console cannot connect to Xbox Live". Hit Eject, push tray back in, launch MotoGP, and I get in!

This cannot be a coincidence!!!!

P.S. The connection test in the dashboard works. Says Connected regardless of bios mod.

If it is modchip detection why is that people with new systems that have never been modded are having problems as well. Some can get on and some cant. Also people with modded systems, some can get on and some cant. Check xbox.com beta forum. A lot of people are having problems, both with modded and non-modded systems.
