Looks like Micro$oft has come out with a fail faq here:
http://forums.xbox.com/31163250/ShowPost.aspx
Here are some big ones:
Q: Isn't this really just to get customers to upgrade to an Xbox 360?
A: Absolutely not, this is about providing the most benefit to the full Xbox LIVE community.
So to provide the most benifit, they need to cut off a lot of people from live. Also, look how much money could fly into bill gates's wallet if he made people upgrade.
Q: Does this impact games that are running on an Xbox 360, or just the original Xbox?
A: Xbox LIVE support will end for original Xbox 1 consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360.
So its being killed for all original xbox games. Even those on xbox marketplace.
Q: Don't you think this is a huge blow to the "Halo 2" community?
A: "Halo 2" redefined the multiplayer gaming experience on a console, and we're incredibly grateful to the Halo community for their continued support of the franchise. We are committed to continued LIVE support of popular experiences such as "Halo 3," "Halo Wars," and "Halo 3: ODST" on Xbox 360. We're also moving quickly towards the future of the franchise with the "Halo: Reach" beta on Xbox LIVE just around the corner.
So to them, they would rather support failo 3 and lousy non bungie spinoffs then halo 2.
They also claim they arent shutting down 360 live (which they might when the 720 comes out) and they also arent saying it is related to natal or the announced friends list cap.
Fail M$ is Fail. If this were a forum I could +Rep you on I would.
