The update will resolve issues for people using Crackdown to enter the beta," said Xbox Live’s director of programming Larry Hyrb, aka Major Nelson, yesterday. "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We know a lot of you have been waiting for the beta for months, and even took time off of work to start early today. We really appreciate your enthusiasm, and we hope the small delay won’t damper your enjoyment of the game," he added.
