XBOX Live Issues

I don't even know if this is because of the update or because of what I did below.

This morning (after the update) I changed the email address associated with my Windows Live account. Now I can't sign into XBOX Live at all.

I can still sign into the Xbox Live website (with my new email and password) but the XBOX won't sign in.

Is there something I'm missing that I need to do?

I think their servers must be swamped due to the dashboard update - or they broke it - after I upgraded the dashboard last night, I couldn't get onto Live at all after that.

Last night I was having all sorts of wierd issues initially. 1st I could not get logged into live. I checked all sorts of setting, and the Xbox said there was something wrong with my router (there was not). I kept on pressing sign into live, and then one time it did, told me there was a dashboard update which I did, but after the update I could not sign in again. I did the same thing, kept on pressing 'sign into live' and after a few minutes I was able to with no further hiccups.

My suspicion is that the servers are swamped. It is a good thing they are doing the updates in phases. Keep trying to sign in, it should work. If you thought it was a gamertag issue, try to sign in with another account.

Thanks. I still can't sign in with my id but I'll keep trying. I am going to assume it doesn't have anything to do me changing my email on my Live account for now.

...ah, and wouldn't you know it. One more attempt and it worked.

I didn't think that would affect anything (since the gamertag is associated with the live id and it shouldn't matter if I change my email and shouldn't have to change anything on the xbox). I just wasn't sure....
