As a lot of 360 gamers know there have been numerous problems with Xbox LIVE in the last few days. Problems like matchmaking, account recovery and even signing in have become far too common. Thankfully Microsoft is well aware of the issues and is working on them.

Xbox LIVE’s Director of Programming Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson has given an update on the status of Xbox LIVE. The man says that the entire LIVE team is hard at work, things are improving by the hour and no one is going home until the job is finished. So keep your fingers crossed, hopefully all the problems will be history soon enough.

Update: LIVE seems to be running smoothly once again. Just came back from a two hours of gaming and at least for now, the problems seem to be gone.
