MS: Delete leaked Midnight Club DLC

Early DLC release could corrupt save data, says MS
Microsoft has called on Xbox Live users that managed to download Midnight Club's downloadable content early to delete it, less their save games become corrupt.

Posting on his blog, Xbox community man Graeme 'Aceybongos' Boyd said the content "accidentally" appeared 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. 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. I'll let you know when it's up for real!"

The proper release is planned for January 29. Did you download it? Did it cost you? Let us know below.

know so little about this but i'm almost moist with anticipation. Midnight Club has been my favorite racer of this gen so far and this DLC should only make it even better.

haha delete it or your save file will corrupt. scare tactics.

good game, only way to play it is with manual gears, though it becomes stale and very familiar very quickly.

the sth central DLC should be great i expect it to better than the main world we have now.

it may not work properly, the Achievements won't register and could cause you problems with your Midnight Club: LA game saves.

Probability scare tactics; because they know not everyone is stupid enough to listen Rolling Eyes

I presume these guys who got it early had to pay for it...? Wheres MS's pledge to refund them their money or somesuch?

Actually, they were not using scare tactics. I was lucky enough that my actual save file did not corrupt, though the dlc became corrupt in my hard drive.

On a second note, the downloadable content was released for free when it was accidentally put up. No money was payed, therefore no refund is offered.

the new dlc will be free for the new map extension, and a premium dlc also with new cars missions and stuff. Its out at the end of feb apparently.

I just picked up this game this week, this is what i thought burnout paradise would have been, open world but with easy to follow races, a real good 1st impression.

its also only 17.99 new on play.com

bargain, so see you for a race online
