Unable to sign into account

For some reason i am unable to sign into my Xbox Live account, i get the error "We could not sign you in code 0x8004883). Just checked the official xbox one support forums and apparently this is affecting others, particularly users in the UK.

Anyone else having these problems currently?

Thx!

Try typing in XB1M13

In what way would that help me out?

I'm sorry, that was a dick move on my part. I hope you figure out your problem. I'd recommend calling support and giving them the error message while you wait for replies here.

No worries, just got confused about the response :P

Right now theres a 10 page long forum post on the official xbox forums with people from all over the world experiencing the exact same problem. Plus a bunch of unanswered topic post about the same problem. Just wanted to know if GB users had the same problem :)

Update: They are aware about the issue, my mistake should have spotted this earlier:

It's funny I have to sign in to read that, kind of ironic.

Isn't this just you trolling every single Xbox post with the same thing, over and over again with no discussionary value?

And then I see your other edit. Its still a sign of boredom if not, strangeness.

Thanks for the diagnosis doc.

Why do you do it? Do you not think you'll be sure to be posting similar posts, every couple of Xbox threads you see in say the next six months?

I'm not sure when I'll be posting it more.

xb1m13 was the tag that all of those recent Machinima stealth marketing videos were marked with. I kind of just want people to see it and ask about it because it's important that people know when they're watching advertisements instead of regular content.

I posted it here because I thought it was a funny concept that typing in the stealth marketing campaign tag on the xbox would help rectify his account.
