Granted, seeing how Xbox consoles outsold PS3 consoles 3 to 1 on Black Friday alone, the chances of the Internet pipes being congested are more than likely going to be higher than last year, as you've pointed out. I've got console gamers surrounding my apartment building already and quite often experience packet loss and staggering slows at irregular intervals, so I don't particularly care for anymore gamers stealing my bandwidth.

May not be a problem calling tech support if the ISP has off shored the help desk to a country that does not celebrate the Christmas holiday.
