So Tuesday's 24 Hour scheduled maintenance of Xbox Live seems to have caused more problems than it fixed. Nevermind the fact that even though you could still play your console, but any content that you had downloaded was inaccessible during this time - something that really needs to be addressed.
The two biggest victims of Live's service hiccups are Criterion and Harmonix. Criterion had scheduled to release possbility the biggest expansion in their ongoing series of content for Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island. BSI is an entire area dedicated to giant jumps and massive playgrounds for your cars and looks to be the most exciting addition to the already massive game.
Harmonix has also been hit extremely hard. Not only did their latest Rock Band track content get nixed, but a humongous chunk of their pre-existing DLC seems to have vanished as well. Harmonix was supposed to release 3 new tracks by Evancescence and 4 tracks by Spinal Tap.
No news yet on when this issue will be repaired but one thing's for sure: the Xbox team needs to stop breaking Live when they're supposed to be fixing it.
