Xbox LIVE being discontinued for Original Xbox consoles and games

[Jonbo298]

No surprise MS is finally pulling the plug. It wasn't going to last forever. gekko's comment made me think about how this is usually the time for new hardware, but yet I have no desire for new hardware. Every other generation I actually kept up with news, I was always wanting the next thing.

Now...I feel like the 360 could feasibly go on for 5 more years and then put out a new console or service (ala OnLive) and keep supporting 360 live for years after it until it was ready to pull that plug.
