E3 09: Microsoft Abandoning Xbox Originals
June 3rd, 2009 4:13 PM | by Jeff Bordeaux | No Comments
Just like they did with the original Xbox console, Microsoft has announced that they will no longer produce Xbox Original games for the 360. It appears to be a move to pave the way for their new premium “games on demand” marketplace, which will offer full retail versions of Xbox 360 games for download. Microsoft says they will release one more Xbox original game and then the service will cease to be updated. Hmmmm…any guesses as to what that game is? I don’t think many people will be too upset by this news as I myself have never bought one of these games. No word on whether the service will remain active or if it will just disappear at some point. Get em before they’re not I guess. Onwards and upwards Microsoft!
