Are you happy with the compensation from ms?

Do you think five dollars worth of points is actually fair considering that xbox live for original games is completely shutting down?

They're also giving out free Games on Demand depending how long you've had the service

Look, Microsoft went above and beyond supporting the original XBOX for years to the point that they can't hold back the 360 anymore.

It's been 4 years since the XBOX went belly up and it's time to move on. There's no excuse anyone can come up with for Microsoft to support last gen's hardware online when it means the 360 can't move forward.

All you have to do is take a look at the Windows 7 operating system for cell phones to see that the Live network can be expanded a whole lot more this generation.

Microsoft didn't stop XBOX games from being played, they just stopped them from being online so they could introduce new things to the network

It's time to move on

Wait what? I was not aware of any compensation. does anyone have a link to the article on this so I can read up?

they can do what they want they own every bit of xbox live servers. be happy with your 5 bucks and 3 months of gold. I don't care because if what Microsoft said why they shutting it down is true then i'm all for it... BTW if you dont know Microsoft said the servers on the first xbox was preventing them to do more with the servers on the 360...

P.S why burn down Bill gates house? why not just kick him feed him to the sharks that cover his privet island out and enjoy the American dream?

That's what I've been wondering. I'm going on my 2nd year of Xbox Live Gold consistantly, and haven't recieved anything (have also played Halo 2 on this service). No complaints, been very happy with the service, just wondering how exactly this works.

wait whats this about comp for original live shut down? what are they giving and when? and how do we get it?-DirtySanchez-

If you didn't get an Email now chances are you wont be getting them

For people who put a significant amount of time on the Live service Microsoft is offering points and games and month of Gold to compensate users for losing the ability to play XBOX games online

3rd option. xD

I thought it was very generous to give 3 months of live free, the points are nice also. They didn't have to do that and although it's sad to see originals go theres so much to play right now I won't remember in a week from now. Thanks MS, the 3 months def helped me! :D

I'm very happy with the compensation. Especially since my Live runs out in a few days. :P

how come i didnt get this email?

I've been a subscriber since the very beginning of live played the originals on my 360 and didn't get an email. Something tells me this wasn't thought out that well.
