Midnight Club: LA DLC released early by accident
Microsoft Europe's Xbox community manager Graeme Boyd acknowledged the snafu, writing in a statement that those who managed to snag the content should delete it as it was still being tested and "may not work properly," possibly causing problems with game saves. For now it seems eager racers will just have to wait for the content's official release sometime in early 2009 ... just sometime later than right now.

"possibly causing problems with game saves"
that's their money sentence to scare you into not exploiting their mistimed DLC

So True... More people could've took advantage. I posted it to Joystiq at 11 last night they didn't take it offline until 4 am this morning...

I managed to grab it early this morning and played around with it. It certainly isn't being tested, it's done and complete. The racers are in the area, the new music is in the game (Deadm5au!), but I haven't found the new cars or achievements yet, although I didn't look. I did grab some screenshots though that you can find below on rockstar social club:

Where did you find the racers at I didn't find them... Most likely you have to beat them to get the rest of the cars and you do get the R8 Unlocked right away if you didn't unlock it already....

No, there will also be another bike and SUV's. There will also be a new part of the map, "South Central LA", which will be free.
