Will I lose access to all the games I have downloaded?! Cause I have alot and as far as I know, I won't be able to move them to a Xbone. That's why I have 0 interest in getting an Xbone.

That's years down the road. You may be tired of them by then.

I'm not sure what they plan 10+ years down the road, but I know you can still play download games and dlc offline. As long as the license are on that console. If not do a license transfer. So, again, as long as the licenses are on that console you should be fine.

I bet Microsoft will put something in place where you can transfer your digital games and DLC to Xbone, but that will be years down the road. With all there new servers they might keep 360 servers for another 10+ years.

Any game you download from XBLA WILL work offline with the exception of multiplayer. (but remember, there are services like X-link that gamers use for PS2, Original Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360 etc for a dedicated server.) In other words, any game you download is your's to keep; forever. Also, Microsoft has no plans of discontinuing servers for the 360 any time soon.

360 wont be supported more than a day after the XB1 comes out. the same thing happened with the original XBOX. the second the 360 came out, MS completely abandoned the original.

that's not true. M$ said they will support the xbox 360 until 2016. but after that you probably won't be able to download the 4 mb patches that auto dl when you run a new game. so it's good until at least sometime in 2016.

I believe that's how long they're going to keep releasing games on the 360. They've said nothing on the matter of servers. As far as I'm aware, the Xbox Live servers will continue indefinitely. I'm sure we'll all have switched over to the new console by the time (or even if) they decide to move on.

Exactly...the three year window was given as a result of how long they expect games to be made for the system. I'm sure you are good for at least a decade...  Heck even car and motorcycle manufacturers only have to support their products with parts and service for that amount of time!Â
