xbox 360 store closing

[Jellyfish]

i just got an email from xbox telling me that the xbox 360 store will shut down on july 29th 2024.

"Starting on July 29, 2024, the Microsoft store on Xbox 360 and on (link to random Microsoft website) will no longer be supporting purchases. this includes games, trials, add-ons, avatar items, apps, gamerpics, game trailers, and videos. it also includes purchases like gamertag changes on Xbox 360, Xbox live gold subscriptions, in-games purchases, and Movies & TV."

we only have 1 year until this happens, this is very sad.

EDIT: you will still be able to play games on 360, you just cant buy anymore.

What does this mean for all the junk you bought on there? Gone forever?

It’s still there I think you just can’t buy more

[aka]

Ohh no, what will all the 9 year old's do until they hit 11 ?

Wild how you dudes act shocked when companies drop support for old crap, it's not that deep

Well as long as that's an option that's fine. My big fear is that one day steam will go away and we'll all lose our games.

I remember when the original Xbox closed down. Those were the days of good games but no Old Gen console always gets shut down, but PlayStation actually sees profit from the PlayStation Store, so they unclose it. However, many people who play online fall victim to molders.

Anyways, out with the old, in with the new. No one uses old consoles because game developers stop making games for them.

You're on PC anyways, so why care? You don't see console gamers saying, "Hey, did you hear Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 are going away?" Even 11 is going to be 600. So make sure PC meets 600 requirements.

But this is why pc win the war, PC you have to have a new operating system every few years or more when Microsoft says so while xbox and PlayStation you just have to get a new console every year.

Crap, I need to get sonic 06 and Crash 4 before it dies then.

Also reminder that DAYTONA USA is backwards compatible but can only be bought through the 360 store because copyright tomfoolery. If you want Daytona on the Xbox, get it soon.

You could argue PC isn't much different considering you still have to upgrade your specs in order to keep up after a certain point (unless you're willing to compromise graphics/functions).
Especially since some of those components can cost more than just buying a new console to begin with.

Also, what war lol. Consoles and PC both serve different purposes and are targeted to different crowds. There is no "war" and there never has been.

Daytona USA is also good on the PS3 too. It's best playing it on the RPCS3 emulator.

Outdated console... Totally makes sense...

I didn't even know there was an Xbox store. O well

Stuff you bought is fine and every backward compatible will still be available to buy on the Microsoft Store.

Physical games will also still be supported

Basically only the Xbox 360 exclusive and not backward compatible games will be affected (~ 220 games)

I don't think we will lose all of our games cause even if steam liquidates or sells out, I think there is probably some kind of contingency so we can still play our games. Hmm... actually we should probably all stock up on external drives now before steam shuts down cause that market is gonna go mental if Valve ever announces they're closing down. Imagine hundreds of millions of people all trying to download their games for weeks before the big shut down. Storage prices are gonna go through the roof.

that sucks

xbox live was my JAM back in HS

soooo sooo many fun memories with friends and my first real online friends were through xbox live


i remember my avatar is still the big daddy suit with a ton of indie games from xbox live like lazer wars or castleminer z to other stuff.



sad to see it go but tbh i can see it happening

That's exactly how the end of the world will begin I think.
