Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior

Microsoft had some sad news for those still playing original Xbox games on the Xbox Live service this week. Apparently they're pulling the plug on it, which means no more online support for original Xbox games like Halo 2. That's good news for Xbox 360 owners though, especially those who want the friends list cap lifted.

Too bad for Halo 2 players. At least Bungie is planning a grand send-off.

too many fucking people still play there is NO REASON AT ALL.!! Why they have to shut it off.. If everyone complained Enough.. X-BoX would have NOOO CHOICE but to do as the customers say if enough of us put up a big enough pissing contest against those assholes if they're to pathetic to keep it up and running? Why not just hand the old x-box live service down to someone who would agree to keep it like it is and agree to keep it up and running like it is RIGHT NOW.. there is currently 3 hours remaining before the original x-box live! is gone for good.. Fight for what we love.. Real Gamers like us! if we get a big enough group of people complaining online and all over the place.. or get a giant i mean massive partition signed and send that shit in? even if we had to give a $5 or even $10 donation to help keep that shit up and running that would be well worth it to keep this legacy going.!
