Although Xbox seemed to resolve these problems, it looks like issues with its store, digital titles, and Cloud Gaming have started to resurface.

As a substitute activity I recommend undertaking a fresh translation of Thucydides.

So maybe that’s the reason my xbox gave me an error msg when I tried to save a game of ‘the show’ tonight. I hope that’s all it is. It’s never acted this way before. I’m going to try rebooting it.
