Microsoft has apologised after the first Midnight Club: LA download content accidentally went online during yesterday.
However the content was promptly removed as it was only being tested at the time.
“The Marketplace team has mentioned to me that a batch of Midnight Club: LA content went up accidentally on Xbox Live Marketplace this morning. It has since been removed, but you may have had the chance to download it while it was up there,” said Graeme Boyd, Xbox community manager for Europe, on the blog he runs.
“If you did and if it’s sitting on your hard drive you should delete it – reason being that it was being tested when it was mistakenly put live and therefore it may not work properly, the Achievements won’t register and could cause you problems with your Midnight Club: LA game saves.
“Sorry for the mistake and sorry for the hassle, but if you did download the content best thing to do is delete it,” he added.
Seems to be a cover-up as people who were fast fingered have reported no problems with the content and its presumably an excuse for them to get rid of it.
The content will open a new area in South Central city up along with new vehicles, races and missions. All of this is due for a ‘early 2009’ release though. Best of all it will be free.
But for now you’ll have to wait a little longer. Did you manage to download the content? Tell us below.
