Turned on the SPOnG Xbox 360 this morning expecting to be able to watch some class telly on Sky. No joy. How about you?

Anyway, Microsoft has issued a statement, and without further editorialising, here it is:

"The Sky Player on Xbox 360 service did successfully launch early this morning, it has subsequently been suspended due to an unforeseen technical issue.

"With so much excitement and interest in the service, we'd much prefer to ensure that our customers enjoy the highest possible quality of service.

"We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to our customers who have attempted to access the service today.

"Sky Player engineers are hard at work to resolve the problem - we expect to have the full service available tomorrow."

Tomorrow, in this case refers to today - Wednesday, October 28th. Or, you could play a video game on your Xbox 360.
