“The ends justify the means” Niccolò Machiavellihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccol%C3%B2_Machiave...

I've read this on a couple of different sites, and I continue to speculate what exactly they mean... Are they taking away Back Compat for the Xbox Original Games, or are they just disabling games like Halo 2 to connect to the live service?What could they be changing to cause this to happen? I remember reading a post on Joystiq.com from an interview with a microsoft exec about the 100 friend limit, and they stated that they couldn't up the cap because of the Xbox Original Services they still provide, like Halo 2. So, maybe at least they'll up our friend list cap.

Oh, so we will still be able to play Halo 2 on the 360? That's good news. I thought all original Xbox games were dead.

They're just removing online support. So your original xbox will still work, unless you want to take it online. BC will still work, unless you want to play old games online. So you can play Halo 2 all you want on your 360, unless you want to play with buddies anywhere except your own system. Make sense? :)
