Join our live stream as we count down the final hours of original Xbox Live with Halo 2 and more!
GAAAAAAAAAMES! With its seven-and-a-half year legacy soon coming to a close, tonight marks a certain end for Microsoft's online console service. After this, the original Xbox Live servers are going down--for good. No more Halo 2, no more... well, that's pretty much the big one. You get the idea. It's been a strong run for what has arguably been, for better or for worse, one of the most significant developments in the history of online gaming. But with the Xbox 360 so thoroughly replacing its predecessor, it has run its course, and now it's time to say goodbye.
Join us, then, as we celebrate the memory of Xbox Live with our two-hour live stream extravaganza tonight from 10PM to Midnight PDT! We'll be playing loads of Halo 2 and other Xbox classics while taking your questions in the USTREAM chat below. And so, without further ado, LET THE XBOXALYPSE BEGIN!!!
UPDATE: Now that our unintentional Xbox marathon has concluded, we've replaced the live stream here with an archived version of the first four-and-a-half hours of the show. Thanks to everyone who joined us, most likely to the detriment of their health and sanity!
Watching this is making me really nostalgic for the original Xbox. Last few years It rubbed me the wrong way but when I originally had it... goddamn did I love that thing.
It's ironic how Xbox Live 1.0 service lasted twice as long as the original Xbox. Oh well, I know I won't miss it at all. At least with those games I can still system link with friends.
