Sounds like there's still a very reasonable amount of support even after this. I expected the FAQ to tell me that I wouldn't be able to play games online or get updates or achievements after July, but it's really just buying new games that's stopping. I have zero idea how many people are still playing Xbox 360, but I bet it's more than I'm thinking.
- kllrnohj 3y agoI was going to set mine back up for some good ol' Rock Band. Losing access to all the DLC songs would have sucked so much, so glad that's not happening
- jamesfinlayson 3y agoI still get mine out pretty irregularly but I did see this notice maybe six months ago and purchased a few last things.
- JohnMakin 3y agoMuch better than Nintendo's long term support, IMO.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoNintendo shut down their eShop a few years ago on the Wii; however, any purchases you made can still be re-downloaded. Same for the 3DS and Wii U with their recent shutdowns.
- JohnMakin 3y agoSure, but many games on those systems cannot be played without online access or access to the shop.
- whateveracct 3y agothank goodness Wiis are super easy to homebrew via soft mod
- talldayo 3y agoFor real. Enabling soft-modding should be mandated by law, my Wii is still fun today thanks to the Homebrew channel and I expect my Switch will be too in 10 years too thanks to custom firmware. My softmodded 3DS is still going strong too (not that there's much content on it in the first place). Without dedicated third-party support, these devices would pretty much be junk.
