I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360. Our first step in this process will be to turn off auto-renewals for those members who only use Xbox LIVE on a v1 Xbox. While I can’t comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community. We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.
I don't know, this reminds me alot of when the psp version of Fight Night was no longer getting online support because of the release on the console. I think it sucks that they will no longer support older games. I can understand the console but if you play those older games on your 360, i think you should still be able to play on xbox live if you're using your 360. Although, if they're taking away support for older games, they BETTER hook me up with better free content in the near future or else i'm gonna be pretty pissed as a faithful xbox supporter.
