If you were planning on getting some hardcore gaming in after picking up a copy of Crackdown at midnight, you might want to hold off the co-op marathon for a little bit.

On Tuesday February 20th from 0200-0500 PT Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, the ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode you will not be able to post. The remainder of Xbox.com will be available for your browsing pleasure.

This kind of thing shouldn’t be taken personally, considering the fact that Xbox Live only goes down maybe twice per year. That’s a pretty good ratio when you take into account the amount of people on the service.

Luckily, chances are that I’ll be in a deep sleep at 5AM. Even if I wasn’t asleep, Crackdown can be played offline…
