It’s supposed to be rock solid isn’t it? It takes a couple of months for any new patches and DLC to make it through certification and onto Xbox Live. Turns out it’s not.

I’ve not played Crackdown in quite a while, despite it being one of the best games on the 360. The last time I played it was online co-op with John, during which we downloaded that Keys to the City DLC. Well, it turns out that this content contained a bug that slipped through certification. A bug significant enough to wipe your character stats, essentially meaning you have to start the game all over again. Like I have time for that. Thanks.

You’d have thought that at the very least they could provide a “cheat” that would enable you switch your character stats back to max so you can continue where you left off? Apparently not. It’s going to the blockies trade in bin!

I’ve been using newshosting.com for ages, getting a consistent and reasonable download speed of 500 KBytes/sec from their servers. However they don’t take Maestro, which is making my subscription payments a little problematic. I was all set to switch service when I noticed that they’re now offering a European Usenet server. What a difference. This morning I’ve been averaging a whopping 3 MBytes/sec download. That’s Bytes not Bits! That’s very fast. So I’ll stay where I am.
