On the heels of trouble yesterday for both services, users of Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network are having trouble connecting to the network today. Xbox Live's Twitter support account hasn't officially acknowledged the issue so far, but there are several tweets about its current status. I got kicked off the service a little while ago, and I haven't been able to log back in. However, it appears players in the United Kingdom haven't been able to log into Xbox Live for several hours. And, Xbox Live's status page appears to be down as well. PlayStation's Twitter support account tweeted this out earlier:The PSN support website claims the service is online, but @AskPlayStation on Twitter has been tweeting replies that they're working to fix the issue as soon as possible. Both services experienced issues yesterday in the US and the UK, though Xbox Live's troubles in the US appeared to be limited to movie, TV, and music services.IGN has reached out to Sony and Microsoft about the issues, and will update this story as soon as we learn more.
