The Xbox LIVE service and Xbox.com have just come back online after their 13-hour maintenance period. Just by looking in the My Xbox section of the website you can see all the hard work they did. While on the cards you can see 5 recent played games by going into a person’s profile you can see the last 10 games they have played. Now you can also send a message from Xbox.com to your friends on LIVE (text only of course) along with viewing messages (no test yet to see if you can listen to audio messages). You can also quickly compare your account to people on your friends list and view your recent players on Xbox.com.

Aside from the new profile stuff they have added they also added modules for Upcoming Games, Xbox News, Community Showcase, Events, and Marketplace info. The people over at Microsoft never disappoint when it comes to great functionality. The most amazing thing is them rolling this stuff out just days before E3. With the year’s biggest event on the horizon they still took the time to hook us up with more and more great stuff!

Kudos and “thank you” to Microsoft and the LIVE and Xbox.com teams!!
