Apparrently "Crackdown" is tied into live so severely that I was unable to load *the* saved game. I tried it 8 times and then finally looked it up online....sure enough: some other people were having problems getting into their Crackdown saved game too at the exact same time during this "Live" issues.
It royally sucks when you buy a game, buy a couple downloads for it, and it works fine one day, but the next day it craps out on you. As a consumer I demand higher reliability than that.... a "Live" partial outage should not make my game unplayable!
I went into the market place and started downloading a video to make sure that my connection was working. I then went back into Crackdown and was able to load my saved game right up and play! A few seconds later my download suspended and I was able to continue playing my saved game... This is the third night I've had a chance to play this game. I'd be pissed if the saved game was corrupted the third time that I played it, but apparently it was just a "Live" server bug. fkers.
Dude, unplug ethernet cable, game away.
