Several areas unfortunately, they see. Determined to undo all the positive things they've done in the couplenyear prior to the Series console releases.
The latest Xbox O/S is abysmal, humiliating.
Trying to push the few people that didn't upgrade yet.
I wonder when they going to drop Xbox 360 online support altogether.

at least they don't close their stores down a year later after releasing a new device like SOME COMPANIESWell crap, I guess Microsoft IS worse than Sony in this aspect...
How so?Well crap, I guess Microsoft IS worse than Sony in this aspect...
It was inevitable tbh.. fewer people use the 360 these days let alone people that'd use the 360 store to purchase games (at a pretty high price mind you, than in the used market), so yeah, why should they keep it from a business standpoint? It's understandable.
They're giving a lot of time to prepare, they're keeping online servers up, BC titles can still be bought, and most relevant 360 titles are on disc anyway. It's a shame to see it go, but at the very least, if they have to go and shut it all down, they're going about it the best way they can.
people want the 360 store to be ran for another 80 years wtf

I mean this is bound to happen eventually. There is no storefront on a legacy platform that will stay up forever. PSN is the last one standing it seems, but we know that will come eventually too.The time has finally come. Microsoft has announced that they'll be shuttering the Xbox 360 Store and Xbox 360 Marketplace next year. On July 29, 2024, users will no longer be able to buy games or DLC on the Xbox 360. Fortunately, if you have a library of 360 titles, you'll still be able to access them, though if you ever purchased TV shows or movies on your Xbox 360 console, you won't be able to access those after that date, and will instead be relegated to watching them on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, or Windows 10/11. Those using modern Xbox consoles will also still have access to backwards compatible 360 games, and the option to purchase those titles specifically. Xbox Live on the 360 will still be kept online, allowing players to still access multiplayer servers for games that still support it.

I feel saying 1 year later is a bit hyperbole. Wii shop shutdown in 2019, Wii U and 3DS shutdown in 2023.at least they don't close their stores down a year later after releasing a new device like SOME COMPANIES
Almost 19 years is a really fucking impressive lifespan for a console's online store.
It's sad to see it go of course, but most if not 99% of the games on the store have already been backed up somewhere online, so it's not like every single game on the store will be lost to time forever.

I'm sure this will upset all 10 people still playing on an Xbox 360.

You mean, you can finally mod your Xbox without getting banned.

If the cat girl leaves, my kokoro dies a little.
If I piss off the cat grill friend, I get no food and he's likely to grill me.
There's just no winning here

You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.+1 -

@SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.+2

@RedColoredStars, Reminds me of a similar game called "Neko Atsume", similar to Nintendogs but you look after cats. -

So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot it down.
