Xbox Originals can still be played.

Just not online.

The only game I can think of that this renders 95% useless is Counter Strike. FUCK!!!!

This sucks because we now know this will eventually happen to the 360 too.

If it is using my tubes and my machine why do I have to pay for it?

Because Microsoft, though I do like them overall, do make dickhead moves sometimes

I think for the next system, free Live could help be a selling point for it. But free ONLY for the new system, leave the cost for the existing Live, to help convince people to upgrade.

Live uses servers for profiles and matchmaking, I'd say what they're essentially doing is blocking access to that for XBox games.

I don't think so.

EVERYTHING about the first Xbox felt like MS just wanted the thing gone. Many are surprised it lasted this long.

The bet is, that the next Xbox will be 100% BC with the 360 and everything about the 360, not to mention Live is a FAR more integral part to the 360 than it was to the Original Xbox.

You shut down Live for the 360, you basically shut down a whole console. Seriously.
