Xbox Live For Original Xbox Games Shutting Down 307

Posted by Soulskill on Friday February 05, 2010 @03:43PM from the this-is-where-the-sidewalk-ends dept.

itwbennett writes "Giving no explanation beyond that it 'will provide the greatest benefit to the Xbox LIVE community,' Microsoft's General Manager for Xbox Live, Mark Whitten, announced that as of April 15th, Microsoft will be shutting down its Xbox Live service for the original Xbox and its games. 'Cold comfort for those of you who still enjoy playing Xbox titles like Halo 2 with your friends,' writes blogger Peter Smith. But Smith notes that Whitten's announcement does hint at some form of restitution for those affected, encouraging users to check their LIVE messages for more details and opportunities."

I never had Fender call me to say that I could only use the G-string from that point on.
That line had me all sorts of confused until I realized that Fender is a guitar company, not a supplier of stripper apparel.
