No Xbox Live tomorrow, upgrading for Xbox 360

Via Inside Microsoft:

"Microsoft has announced a planned single day closure of its online console gaming service Xbox Live and the associated Xbox.com website, in order to make changes in preparation for the Xbox 360 launch.

Scheduled for October 24th, with full services to be resumed the following day, the company has confirmed that a number of enhancements and additional community and global ranking functionality will launch to coincide with the launch of its next generation console.
Changes include the addition of Xbox Live Marketplace, and an 'achievements' record system, which catalogues every player's special accomplishments in every Xbox 360 game played, although all new additions will be invisible to gamers until the Xbox 360's US launch date on November 22nd."
