Annoyingly Microsoft have also started cutting back their support on Live for the 360, as premium DLC for FEAR is no longer supported

3 multiplayer maps packs were released - 1 free, 2 premium; they are no longer supported or available - I have them on my harddrive, but the title update to recognise them is no longer supported, and as the cache only holds around 10 updates at any time it is long since overwritten

Guess this will eventually happen to all Live content, and rendered worthless - not great as I've spent hundreds if not more on DLC on the 360

How's Xbox 1 DLC to be handled on the 360 when you upgrade your harddrive or get a replacement 360 when it develops RROD ??

The DLC is tied to the console and CANNOT be swapped across harddrives/consoles - I've had to pay for the Links DLC abour 4 or 5 times due to upgrading hardrives and getting replacement consoles

Is there any hope Microsoft might have a downloadeable disc for installing Xbox 1 DLC on the 360 in the future ??

Is Bubble Bobble not coming out this week too ?

Or has it been put back so as not to interfere with the Summer of Games promo ?

Can we have Portal or Death Tank as a Deal of the week please??

These are 2 games that really shot themselves in the foot at 1200 points

Unfortunately you don't download the update just once, it depends whether it has been overwritten in the cache:

When you start up a game it checks Live for any updates - it then downloads that update to the cache if is not already here - if there are already, say, 10 updates it will overwrite the oldest update with update for the game you have just started to play

I know from experience when moving house and not having broadband access for a few weeks, I could not get the game updates to allow me access to DLC I had bought. Even though the DLC was on the hard drive the update was no longer in the cache and as a result the game did not know the DLC was even there !!

Surely it would make sense to save this to the hard drive and swap into the cache when necessary - I have a 120gig hard drive that has 40 gigs spare, and as pointed out the updates are usually pretty small and would not eat too much into that space

We really need the ability to save the game updates to the hard drive as opposed to just the cache (which can only store a handful of updates at any one time)

For those of us with a large collection of games what happens in say 10 years time - will Microsoft still be running the servers for the updates ? If the updates are not available, all the bug fixes & DLC we have paid for will be worthless as games will not be able to get the updates to enable them to run the DLC

Am I the only person worried about this ?
