Microsoft apologizes for Xbox360 cloud save issue

4.5
The Xbox Live service experienced some hiccups recently with its cloud save feature and now Microsoft is making amends with a free month of Xbox Live.

Microsoft notes it's automatically applying a one-month extension to impacted customers. There is no need to call support if you were affected by the outage. Xbox's Major Nelson posts that the company knows who couldn't reach the cloud and will handle it on their end.

Late last week Xbox Live customers reported outages and other issues, along with the cloud save file problem, which would bounce back error "0x807b0198" when trying to load a file.

Vampiric People actually use cloud save?
The reason I've never even contemplated using Cloud based saving is for this reason.


My friends use it so i can recover their accounts and mod their dead island saves, it actually comes in handy.

I suppose it's handy if you have two Xbox's, but it's just as easy to use a USB.
