Original Xbox Loses Live
« on: February 05, 2010, 03:59:39 PM »

On April 15th, Microsoft will pull the plug on the Xbox Live service for all original Xbox games—which affects both Xbox 1 games played on both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360.

So say you downloaded an Xbox Originals game onto your Xbox 360. That game will still play just fine, but don't expect to go online with it. The same general rule applies to every vintage Xbox title no matter the grander Xbox platform.

But by cutting off these older titles (aka pissing off a bunch of Halo 2 fanatics), Microsoft will gain much more flexibility with the Live platform through announcements coming "in the next few weeks."    :righton:

I read through the list of games and there are not that many...

QUESTION! Call of Duty 2 & 3 are listed.  I assume they are the ORIGINAL XBOX titles and not the 360 ones.  My son plays COD2 online on the 360 with the 360 version of the game.  It is rated T not M... So I let him play that.

There...now it's a question, rock.

I assume the answer is yes...it only affects the Original Xbox versions.  There's a special way that you connect to Live when playing an XBOX 180 title.  I assume they'll just disable that.

Funny.  MS is finally nixing online for a 9 year old console, and EA is killing online for last year's games.

I got the live kit for the old black box but never really used it, I don't think there
is any point in keeping it running for the odd nostalgic gamer who goes on once
a month.

Hopefully the new live changes will be worth it
