Ant's Rant: BUYER BEWARE! Crackdown 2 DLC

Today, my nephew downloaded the Toy Box Mode Free Preview while I was at work. He said it was awesome and he was playing it for a few hours today. I got home from work and bought the full version of the DLC. After the download finished, I launched the game and tried to start a Keys to the City match. Lo and behold, during the loading screen, the entire console freezes. Even loading a normal, Main Game, it freezes during loading. I can’t even get into the game in any way. My good buddy Slick paid and downloaded it and is having the same issue.

The only way to fix it and make the game playable again is to go into your Memory Settings and delete the Toy Box mode under Game Files. Now the Main Game loads up fine, but I don’t have the DLC. What I’m hoping for is an update patch to make the game playable again. What I’m afraid of is that it’s somehow an issue with older Xbox 360′s and that it was for some reason designed only for the new Xbox 360 Slims. That doesn’t make too much sense to me, but it’s a possibility. Another concern that has been brought to my attention by Slick is that the Ruffian Games web site is down, coincidentally.

Just be warned, do NOT pay for and download the DLC pack. Play the free preview version until a patch is released. When one is released, I will update with a notification. Here’s hoping for an announcement of an upcoming patch.
