 Xbox Live support for Xbox games to end April 15, 2010Microsoft discontinue Xbox Live for Xbox games April 15th
Quote: The main reason for turning off support for original Xbox games is one of compatibility. Microsoft want to change Xbox Live to allow for even more features, but in doing so will make Live no longer work in a way that allows those older games to function: "Your Xbox LIVE community has grown to 23 million strong. And as we look down the road, we’ll continue to evolve the service with features and experiences that harness the full power of Xbox 360. To reach our aspiration, we need to make changes to the service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games." _________________ "He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead." -John Keats |

Re: Xbox Live support for Xbox games to end April 15, 2010 That's going to piss off a few people I know. One of them bought Fable 1 on Xbox Live recently and will be especially saddened as its one of her favourite games. It's like the PS3 Slim having no backwards compatibility, but classic games get that way because they're still fun to replay. The age of the system they were made for shouldn't factor into being able to enjoy it.
I foresee a fair few people downloading Xbox emulators in the near future. _________________ V4VG.net - A British Gaming Blog |
