Xbox Live Zune Marketplace down for 24 hours

If you try to access the Zune Marketplace on Xbox Live later this evening (January 25, 2010), you’ll notice the service is down. There’s no need to panic because this is all part of scheduled maintenance implemented by Microsoft.

From 10pm (PST) for up to 24 hours, the Zune Marketplace will be inaccessible. Microsoft says it is working to improve the Zune Marketplace’s overall service on Xbox Live, but did not give any specifics on what that means. During this downtime you will be unable to rent or purchase videos from the Zune Marketplace. The library that you already have set up will continue to work just fine.

This maintenance will also have no effect on other services on Xbox Live such as Last.fm and Twitter.
