Seems I should have checked the C-mode and Battle Mode fourms. Thanks to gream-green for alerting me of this. X-box Episode 2 Level 5 was released back at the end of august. So go and get your episode II S-ranks if you haven't already.

ST's last maintenance added Challenge mode stage 5 to PSO for XBox

XBox Challenge mode stages added

kevlar_pso writes, "According to Casey from Microsoft Escalations, content from region to region will vary. There is/was no information on the calendar about Easter content for PSO on Live for North America. Xbox does not maintain the PSO servers all content comes from Sonic Team. HL fee is for maintainence of the servers that are owned and operated by Sonic Team, not necessarily for content on the servers. Not much that Microsoft Online Services can do to get that content.

To summarize, PSO Xbox content is available on average on a monthly basis from Sonic Team. PSO-X for America will not have Easter content. MOS does acknowledge Live gamers needs. Casey said he would pass our request for more content on to the developers. Bottom line is that any content that arrives will be posted on the Xbox website. "

This PSOW easter news according to MOS does not apply to the US Xbox Live content but only applies to the JP Xbox Live content.
