Xbox Live suffered a major network outage Wednesday afternoon, and Snoop Dogg immediately went on Instagram to criticize those he thought were responsible.
"A message to Xbox One or Microsoft or whoever the f---. Y'all f----- servers f--- whack, man. Y'all gonna make me switch to PlayStation if y'all don't hurry up and get this s--- fixed," he said in a video first spotted by The Verge. "[Is it] that difficult to play somebody online what the f--- is you doin' Bill Gates? Fix yo s--- man."
he posted his video again with a new caption: "Xbox 1 f------ sucks online yes i said it ps4 here we come. Ceo. Hit my peoples up we done with xbox."

Man Zheros is bad. Really boring and plodding and just no fun at all. A brain-dead brawler with a bad camera, choppy animation and no reason to exist.
Not Vogarr bad, but occupying the same general realm as The Deer God. Lot of crappy indie games given away this generation. Deleted.

I haven't bought Xbox Live in a long time. I used to always have 3 years, the maximum allowed, but somehow I stopped buying the deals.
So here I'm now, with my sub expiring on 3/22/16.
So, what's a good price nowadays for Xbox Live? I don't think I've seen a $30 sub in a long time. But I'm sure there should be deals under $40, right?

I have Battlefield 4 from EA Access. I played it for the first time yesterday. The one player mission wasnt that great so i thought i would see what the online play is like but i couldnt figure out how to do it. All the options seemed to cost money. Are there any free online options if you have the game through EA Access?

It was on sale for $5 last month. That's the only way at the moment.

As cleaver mentioned, it was on sale right before Xmas for under $5. However, Xbox sales are pretty unpredictable, so there's no knowing if it will be that cheap again anytime soon:

Click on the Gamerscore Leaderboard to see the full list of all your friends.
• Re-arrange Pins on Home and access them offline: Many of you have told us that you want Pins on your Xbox One Home to be easier to organize. In Preview, you will now be able to rearrange individual pins. We also made Pins accessible for launching when you are offline.
• Updating Activity Feed in Xbox One: Your activity feed in Xbox One Preview will inform you when there are new items in your feed. Clicking the link will take you to the top of your feed where you’ll see a run-down of the newest posts, so that you always have the freshest content at your fingertips.
• Joinable Twitch Broadcasts: You want it to be easier to watch your friend’s game broadcasts. In Preview, Game Hubs as well as the game tile will allow you to easily launch Twitch.tv broadcasts if friends are broadcasting.

Click through from the suggestion to view the member’s full profile and choose to grow your friends list.
• Hide games from ‘ready-to-install’ list: Fans asked that we re-enable the ability to hide content like betas, trials, games, and apps that they no longer want to install. Xbox One Preview members will be able to start using this feature again.
Updates coming to Xbox One Preview and the Xbox Beta app that make gaming on any platform better:
• Avatar Store: Equip your avatar with the latest avatar items in the newly-integrated ‘Avatar Store’. On the console, the Store is built right into the Xbox Avatars app and on Windows 10 PCs and phones, access the Store through the Xbox Avatars app. Get access to the entire catalog of new and oldie-but-goodie items, including free items. As you’re perusing catalogs, enjoy the ability to preview the items on your avatar real-time before you buy.

This month, both Xbox Beta app and Xbox One Preview audiences will see Xbox News posts in their activity feed to make it easier to stay up to date on all things Xbox.
• Improvements to Trending: Across Xbox One Preview and Xbox Beta app experiences this month for console and Windows 10 PCs and phones, you’ll notice a new access point for Trending items to the right of the Community tab on your console and in the left menu area of the Xbox app. This gets you to a dedicated Trending landing page with the most popular topics across Xbox Live surfaced at the top followed by an inspirational assortment of top videos, screenshots, achievements, and more that members across the community have created or unlocked. Consider friending or following publishers of content that you like.
• Suggested friends: In both the Xbox One Preview and Xbox Beta app, we’re making it easier to get details on your suggested friends. Starting this month, if you click ‘see all’ or double tap on the shortlist of friend suggestions in any scenario, you will be pointed to a full-screen view of all suggested friends.
Across both Xbox One Preview and the Xbox Beta app, January brings the injection of Trending topics and friend suggestions into your activity feed.
