From the Gamerscore Blog: "We've found out more about the issue with downloading the Halo 3 beta through Crackdown. The Microsoft team working on it has created a solution (it will come in the form of a Crackdown title update), and it's in final phases of testing. We're told you should see it in the next 3-6 hours. As a reminder, those not accessing the beta through Crackdown aren’t affected."

We'll post an update here as soon as we can confirm it is online and available for download from Crackdown. Watch for that Crackdown update notification!

UPDATE: Bungie says the problem has been fixed. The bad news? It still could be up to four more hours for the delivery of the Crackdown update. But to end with good news, the beta has been extended an additional 4 days. Here's some of the info from Bungie.net (more here):

"It's been a long day for a lot of people but we're happy to announce that effective immediately, a title update for Crackdown is available on Xbox Live that will fix the issue that previously prevented you from downloading the beta. The Microsoft team just deployed this fix and when you launch Crackdown you should receive a prompt to download the update.

Please note that it could take up to four hours for your console to receive this update based on various factors. However, the good news is that we're in the clear and Halo 3 gameplay is just over the horizon."

NOTE: Here's a tip that worked on getting the update notification to Crackdown, using the "clear cache code": Go to the system blade and then select memory. Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X,X,Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. Once you do this a messsage will appear saying: Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices? Confirm it and then launch Crackdown. Go to the download menu and the Halo 3 Beta download button can now be selected. The download is 911 MB.
