Anyone else experiencing difficulties buying stuff at the marketplace?

I was wanting to buy Pinball FX2 and cannot do so. I checked the Xbox Live forums (which are now a mess) and followed the instructions on clearing my marketplace cache... I cannot buy anything. Now NONE of the games are showing up in the "A-to-Z" listing - nothing there.

There is an issue going on with the marketplace and MS is aware of it, keep an eye on the Xbox support twitter account for status updates.

I was trying to add a credit card so I can buy DeathSmiles 2 on demand (no store release not even in english ) and because they have XBL Gold for $2 for 2 months and it kept telling me it couldn't be authorized. Then I called and they told me they've had issues since this morning.

More failures today. Never had such trouble trying to spend $2.

Stopped by GS to look around and they had a used copy of the LIMBO, Splosion Man and Trials HD combo disk. I have only played the demof LIMBO and none of the other 2 so figured I buy it.
After discount it was roughly 22.00.
Was it worth it?

it's $30 brand new..

I loved Trials and Splosion Man was fun. Cheaper than buying them all on Live too.

Yeah, you got a good deal. LIMBO and Trials are very good. I didn't enjoy Splosion Man as much as I enjoyed The Maw, but it's a solid game.

Certain Affinity Unleashing Crimson Alliance, a Furious Multi-Player Action RPG Title for the XBLA this Summer

AUSTIN, Texas – May 31, 2011 – Gamers looking for a multiplayer title with tons of furious action and cooperative play will find it this summer on XBLA. Certain Affinity's Crimson Alliance will mix fast-paced cooperative action combat with the rewarding element of RPG character development, in a battle against the sinister Cult of the Soul Siren.

Players can choose from three classes each with a host of unique abilities ranging from the Assassin's time-bending attacks to the Wizard's elemental mastery to the Mercenary's sweeping whirlwind strikes. Each class has five special abilities that can be upgraded by collecting treasure and finding hidden Soul Anchors that harbor the spirits of long dead heroes. By choosing to specialize in certain abilities, players customize characters to suit their play style and complement their friends' characters.

Partying with up to three friends on a single Xbox 360 console or over Xbox LIVE, players can create chain attacks that combine their different abilities for devastating effects. Different class compositions in parties allow for a diverse and unexpected set of combos.

Certain Affinity's president Max Hoberman tasked the development team to take everything they learned from their FPS work on Call of Duty and Halo -- strong action gameplay, addictive character progression and great encounters and environments -- and apply it to the action RPG genre.

"One of the reasons I started Certain Affinity was because I wanted to make a game like this – an action RPG with clever AI, fantastic physics and deep emergent gameplay that can be enjoyed with friends in the living room or halfway across the globe," said Hoberman. "Crimson Alliance is that game, finally!"

The world of Crimson features labyrinthine crypts, ruined cities, deadly traps and hidden treasures, populated by elite mini-bosses and the devious minions they control. Each of the three main characters has their own motivations, revealed in a story-driven cooperative campaign of betrayal, foul magic and ancient secrets.

The game will be playable at the Microsoft booth at E3 Expo June 7 – 9 and will be published by Microsoft Game Studios on Xbox LIVE this summer.
