Comments on: 5 Good Reasons Shutting Down Xbox Live Classic Is A Bad Idea http://blog.gamesylvania.com/2010/03/03/5-good-reasons-shutting-down-xbox-live-classic-is-a-bad-idea/ Tue, 03 May 2011 18:21:49 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Edgardo http://blog.gamesylvania.com/2010/03/03/5-good-reasons-shutting-down-xbox-live-classic-is-a-bad-idea/comment-page-1/#comment-672 Edgardo Tue, 03 May 2011 18:21:49 +0000 http://blog.gamesylvania.com/?p=132#comment-672 I used to be an avid gamer and played Halo non-stop back in the college days. When Halo 2 my game play went down. However, I still play when i get a chance. (only the co-op play). I didn't realize they took down the Live experience. I do have an Xbox360, but rarely have the time to play on "Live". Thanks for the post. It's completely unbelievable that Microsoft would do this, but like you said. They control the power and its ultimately up to them. If only there was another way. Thanks I used to be an avid gamer and played Halo non-stop back in the college days.

Then again, if they were focused on customers and not greed, maybe the RRoD either wouldn't have happened in the first place due to better quality, or would have been handled better when it did crop up.

Forcing the upgrade is what helped push them further and that's what's going to happen here, as well.

It would be interesting if they devised Xbox Live universal between Xbox regular and 360. But I think it's good to say that if there's people still around, keep it going.

That is, the New Hotness came out, and support suddenly disappeared for the original system, which my husband had JUST PURCHASED about a month prior. I got what was possibly the last wireless adaptor for the original system in Savannah, at least for a while, because they simply stopped shipping it when the 360 was released. I guess the one good thing to come from this recent batch of greed is that it proves that original impression that I had correct.

It was the only Halo with online multiplayer worth a damn. Do I hear Halo 2 rebuild on modern engine? :D Frankly, Halo 2 is more than enough reason.
