The 360 Halo games are BC, and they're being shut off. As a reminder, what they're basically telling people is that if they want to keep playing those games for what a LOT of them bought them for in the first place (the online modes), they have to buy the games they already own a second time. This is on top of the yearly fee for XBox Live which already went up in price and is destined to go up a second time fairly soon I expect. MS is no saint here. The signs are all there clear as crystal. They're just hoping the sting is lessened with their attempt to force people onto new versions by only doing this one piece at a time. Their argument when Gears of War games get their online modes stripped away? "We already did it with Halo, this isn't new."
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
