Original Xbox Game Support Being Dropped From Xbox Live
Posted by Rod Oracheski on 02.05.2010
As of April 15th, Xbox Live will become 360-only.
Friday morning, Microsoft announced that its Xbox Live service will be dropping support for original Xbox games. The changeover, slated for April 15th, is expected to pave the way for upgrades to Microsoft's online infrastructure, as original Xbox games have been cited as a stumbling block in the way of some high-demand upgrades, including larger Friends lists.
Falling numbers on Xbox games being played on Xbox Live likely played a role in the decision. Halo 2, consistently the most-played original Xbox game on Microsoft's weekly lists, has only slightly over 3,600 unique players in the last 24 hours.

So... Why exactly do we need larger friends lists? Who actually plays with every person on their list as it is?

I played with most of the people on mine, or at least talk to them regularly. I'd be nice to stop having to dump 2-3 people to get off the 100-person cap.

Stupid 411faggots, got a problem posting my comments? You have no problems with racism, as long as it's not about America.
