Microsoft is already adding to the Xbox Originals library, and the new title is a great one: Burnout 3 Takedown.
If, like me, you're getting antsy waiting for Burnout Paradise, this might be just enough to tide you over, though 1200 points is still awfully pricey. You can grab Burnout 3 starting on Monday.
That's assuming you can connect to Live to download it, of course. Live service has been suffering lately due to "server strain" brought on by a huge upsurge in demand over the holidays. The Xbox team has been scrambling ever since to get it back to normal, with varying degrees of success.
I've been getting mixed reports. Some of my friends say Live is smooth as pudding, while others are still frustrated. I'm having trouble getting and staying connected. What's it like with you folks?
