No more online for Xbox. No more online for Xbox games.

On April 15th, 2010, all original Xbox units as well as games will no longer be able to use LIVE.

Of course, Microsoft says the best is yet to come, but I don't know about that. Anyway, for anyone out there that wants to play Capcom vs SNK 2 online, you've got until April 15th until it is no longer possible.

I find it ironic that this happens right as I'm about to get an Xbox 360. I was really looking forward to playing Street Fighter Anniversary Collection online.

So is it just online play or DLC as well?

Damn, that's pretty good support, right there. About 8 years. That's especially good considering that it's Microsoft. I hope some 1337|-|4X0RZ find a way for the old online games to be played again.

Also, this means that there's no real reason not to burn Xbox 180 games.

I can't imagine much, Halo 2 was about all that people played on live before the 360 even came out. Maybe more people will start using kai because of this.

There's fighting games. I can't think of too much else.

Yeah, I have a bunch of friends who still use Xbox Live to play Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Capcom vs SNK 2 and a few others. Had a friend in college who used to play King of Fighters Neowave with it as well. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge was also a pretty good game, from what I hear.

Really do how someone figures out a way to by-pass LIVE and play these. They were Peer-To-Peer anyway, weren't they?

Halo 2 was the only game I played online,

Crimson skys and Brother in arms I played on Lan.

Wow, I'm fairly surprised Microsoft kept the XBOX 1 servers on for so long after moving on to the 360. I assumed they quietly killed it.
