360 not connecting to Live(ish) since moving it
Discussion
Hi guys,
Rearranging my front room and moved the 360 while doing so, completely unplugged everything, set it down gently on the floor then put it back in it's new home.
Now it's mis-behaving, all is fine until trying to sign into live, it says I'm signed in and pops up at the bottom which of my friends are online, but I'm just getting the little loading symbol (the xbox siloughette with the circles round it) endlessly doing it's thing in the middle of the blades.
If I press 'X' to sign out it takes me to the offline blades fine, it's just not loading up the blades with all the ads or the options to access my messages and the live shops etc.
Really quite frustrating. Everything is connected properly (it's a wired net connection) and I have tried turning on and off and refreshing the net connection on my pc (it connects via the pc).
Anyone have any ideas?
Sorry for the long post!!

live is being really fussy this weekend, signed in one day to find no freinds online which was weird after an hour or so decided to sign out n sign back in n there they all were....weird! if u keep having this problem and live is fine then make sure ur hard drive is inserted properly and dust off any contact pionts between the HDD and the console. If you do find your having HDD problems then replace it promptley, it was a knackered HDD that killed my last two consoles....with in 48 hours of each other!
I kept getting the "N friends online" popup message at random as if live was reconnecting all the time.baz7175 said:
One of the non ph-muckers actually called their helpline to go ape and the bloke on the other end says they were estimating 2 days to fix the issues... 
In other words there are too many users at the moment and when they all go back to work on the 2nd things will go back to normal!(that would be my guess anyway)

The XBox Live downtime has been annoying, and entirely predictable.
Christmas time - no. of new XBox 360 owners and Live memberships rockets upwards (free 30 day trial of XBox Live Gold).
Have Microsoft used all the extra revenue to increase server capacity? No.
I know that all servers have downtime, but the problems that are being experienced are just not acceptable for a pay-to-use service. That said, when it all works it's great, it's just that it seems to go wrong far too often.
