PSA: Xbox Live Marketplace has the hiccups [update: MS responds]
We were a little miffed that we were completely unable to download
Rocket Riot from Xbox Live Marketplace this morning. We were slightly more miffed when the download for
Magic: The Gathering also failed. When the download for
Sam & Max failed, however, we were positively
livid. And
now, we've received a tip that certain content on XBLM has disappeared entirely, namely
Burnout Paradise's
Big Surf Island DLC. The new
Sega Vintage Collection games seem to have vanished as well.
We're not sure what's going on, but we're willing to bet it's got something to do with the
Xbox Live maintenance that took place yesterday. We've contacted Microsoft and will update this post as soon as we hear anything more.
[
Update: Microsoft has informed Joystiq that it is "aware of an issue affecting a small amount of content on Xbox LIVE Marketplace since the service came back online" and hopes to "resolve the issue soon." We'll update this post again once services return to normal.]
