Xbox Live purchase and content usage is currently down

Xbox Live’s purchase and content usage features are currently offline, meaning users won’t be able to buy or download purchased content.

This writer encountered the issue trying to install Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare from disc. Before the disc would install, a 250MB online patch was required to be downloaded and installed… only, Xbox Live couldn’t deliver. The issue was rectified — for now — by going into Settings, uninstalling the game, and reinstalling while offline.

Anyone else encountering any issues with Xbox Live?
