NLA Service Update - Final

The issue at our hosting centre has been resolved. We do not expect any further interruptions to the service tonight.

We are doing our best to try and get as much content complete by the normal deadlines as possible. However it is reasonable to assume some titles will be delivered late.

We will send out an overview of the delivery timings in the morning once we have had a chance to analyse the logs.

Sorry for the interruption.
