Tomorrow at 12:01 AM PST, Microsoft will be taking down the whole Zune service, which includes the Zune Social, the forums on Zune.net, and the Zune Marketplace. At the same time, Xbox Live will also be offline, meaning the My Xbox section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only-mode. Microsoft says that the downtime is scheduled maintenance and that it should not last longer than 24 hours. The software giant also notes that once service is restored, there will not be any new features for Zune users, unlike the update from last week, nor for Xbox users. Instead, the services are being taken down to prepare for a future update.
