Hey. Like many people, me and my friends are playing halo 2 April 14th to send it away with a bang.
But what time does live actually shutdown?
April 15th... is that midnight 00:00 on the 15th, or do we have the 15th to play, so that it actually shutsdown 00:00 on the 16th?

I started a thread about this a few days ago, but still no reply:

You also have to consider which timezone they were talking about when they told us about that time. midnight on 15th is something different in Europe or America. Its even something different on American East Coast than on American West Coast.

Yep. I'm in the UK...
I'm going to assume it shuts down as soon as April 15th arrives (in some USA time zone)
Thats between 5am-8am April 15th here in the UK.
So I think we'll play April 14th, through the night and into the morning before it shuts down.

I have yet to see anything from Microsoft about what time its going down at. I guess they could do it any time they wanted to on the 15th.

If I had to guess I would think it would be a process of taking things offline bit by bit throughout the day. The system isn't something you can just walk up and unplug one thing to shut down.

It would be nice to know what time they gonna shut off xbox live services for original games. Hopefully we ll be able to play till midnight of April 15th.
