Original Xbox Live Titles Going

Sadly enough, This morning Major Nelson has broke the news on Microsoft’s newest decision on Xbox Live. Microsoft will be discontinuing the Xbox Live service for Xbox Original titles on April 15, 2010. But doing this has us thinking one thing, and one thing only…Microsoft is up to something…possibly something awesome and/or extraordinary. This is Microsoft people! They definitely would not be doing this for no reason at all. What do you think Microsoft is up to? below is an official announcements on Major Nelsons Blog:

I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360. Our first step in this process will be to turn off auto-renewals for those members who only use Xbox LIVE on a v1 Xbox. While I can’t comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community. We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.
