Downloading "Premium" Content on XBox

[Brats]

As some of you may know, MechAssault has been the first title in the UK to receive "premium" content (i.e. you have to pay for it). It's only ?3.50 odd for new levels, game maps, new multiplayer modes, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm not the world's biggest Mech Assault fan, but for ?3.50 I thought I'd give it a go.

But when I go to the download content option, the premium content isn't there. All the free stuff is (which I downloaded yonks ago), but not this new pack which has alledgedly been available since last year.

I checked I have Premium Content switched on in the Live options and I do. I do have a US copy of MechAssault and a US XBox, so I'm wondering if that's the issue, but there's never been a region problem with anything on Live so far, even PSO connects fine .

Am I missing something. I'm not too bothered about MA, but some premium content for PGR2 and Links is due soon and I don't want to miss out .

Its probably obvious but is the credit card you signed up with still valid? otherwise you could try phoning up MS or using their online thingy that they have on www.xbox.com

I'm sure there is an option in the dash somewhere for enabling premium content. Can't check just now though so I may be wrong?

So which crackpipe did M$ come off of this time? "Premium content" my ass (bum for you brits=p). You pay $50 for the game, then pay $10 a month or so to play online, then another $10 to download new levels? To hell with that machine, its a stripped down computer.

With pc games you buy it, get a cd key. Enter cd key, play online for free, unless its a mmorpg. Download patches and updates for free. Fan made mods, maps, etc....all free.

I hope M$ loses billions more on xbox 2. The ONLY reason I have a xbox is because it was broken, free, and I could turn it inot a media player for tv use. The post processing quality a p3 700 can do is rather poor, but usable.

The only xbox games that seem to be worth checking out are sega made games.
