Larry Hryb (“Major Nelson” of Microsoft’s [MSFT] Xbox Live fame) had posted earlier that the downtime for Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com is:

  • A preparatory exercise for the still-coming-soon new Xbox LIVE experience that was demo’ed during this year’s game conferences (like E3);
  • Impacting both the Xbox LIVE service and the “My Xbox” section of Xbox.com only;
  • Not introducing any new features;
  • Essentially a system maintenance event.

Additionally, Larry twitters that the maintenance is still on-schedule.
