Last Day of oXbox Live -- How are you living your last day?

Played a game of Crimson Skies one last time. Currently trying to download all the Halo 2 maps for...well, whatever.

I stayed up til about 3:00 am when I had to be up for work at 6:30 to play as much Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and send it off (at least the official servers) in a good way. It was lots of fun, I was playing in room that fluctuated between 28-32 players all night. You'll be missed...

Must be the same Graveyard. This one I wished was followed thru. Sorry for off topic again.

Damn I forgot to create saves for Ninja Gaiden on both my Xbox / Xbox 360 for the Hurricane Packs. Anyone have saves for those? :\

Edit: Not the actual Hurricane Packs themselves, I have those, but you can't start them unless you sign into Live which you obviously can't do anymore, unless you have a Save File created right at the start.

Just get Ninja Gaiden Black. It has them on disc, and it's cheap nowadays.

It's a real shame. I wish there could have been a "we're releasing a patch that lets your original Xbox host its own servers" or something along those lines. Now I can never play Timesplitters: Future Perfect online again with my friends. I'll never get the rush of a great Mechassault match. I spent my final night playing Mechassault and Halo 2. I tried to get a Timesplitters game going but no one was on.

I understand why Microsoft doesn't let people host their own servers, it would cut into Live's profit and allow modders that want to play online still do so.

But there should have been a plan when phasing Xbox out, something to allow players to host their own games without the trouble of some PC/LAN combo like the Gamecube modem allows for. Even if it wasn't profitable, the guys that love gaming owed it to the fans that have spent hundreds of dollars on supporting Xbox and Xbox live. When I buy a game, I don't expect to lose its functionality, yet this is what's happened and what will continue to happen. And here I am, able to play Quake 2, Diablo, etc, online with no trouble at all, games several years older than Xbox live.

That's the difference between gaming on an open platform (PC) and gaming on a closed platform (consoles). Have a good day.

bummer, i guess i didn't hear about this. i never had anything above dial up when i used my xbox, and by the time i had highspeed i had a 360, so i never got to take mine online, I wish i had known, woulda been cool to do it once.
