Cnet: Microsoft kick-started the "next-generation" of gaming on November 22, 2005, when the company released the Xbox 360, beating both Nintendo and Sony to market. Since then, the console has sold roughly 40 million units worldwide and has brought some innovative ideas to the gaming industry in the form of Xbox Live, the online marketplace, and gamer achievements.
GeekDiscover: Microsoft has announced that the production of new XBox 360 will be stopped with immediate effect while the online servers will still remain active.
Oh, boy I can imagine how this thread will turn out. I'm kind of surprised by this news but then I'm not because....well....
Grabs popcorn.....
Xbox 360 had a good run. I thought Wii would be globally discontinued before this happened.
It's sad to see it go but some good things must come to an end. I met a lot of good people who have become longtime friends on the Xbox 360.
I hope they will not abandon the manufacturing of X360 controllers, i find them the best.
Xboxed: "You don’t need to pay a single dime for the overpriced Xbox Music pass (Groove pass) anymore because you can listen to your personal playlist directly on the Xbox One or Xbox 360 for free."
Xbox Music has been renamed to Groove for the incoming Windows 10 Operating System
