Gamergeddon writes "The success of Battlefield 1943 proved there was enough interest for good downloadable first person shooters. Other games such as the XBLA hit Monday Night Combat have built upon the interest and it has turned into a great alternative to the big shooters such as Call of Duty and Bad Company 2. Does Breach have what it takes to continue the momentum?"
On July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace. This change will not affect your ability to play Xbox 360 games or DLC you have already purchased.
Curious to see if people will put the same energy reacting to this move as they did when Sony tried to close the PS3 / Vita stores.
End of an era...
I still use my 360 as it has several games installed that aren't available to get on the modern systems. Outrun online, afterburner climax, renegade ops, the tmnt games... too many to just unplug it.
Everything else that is bc on newer I already downloaded to my 4tb external.
And with that news sonic 06 just became the most valuable game in my collection
Really sad day for gamers and game preservation. Bozo Jim Ryan tried to pull a fast one on us like this back in 2021 and we kept the PS3 store up. It's a shame that with MS' move that many digital only titles, DLC packs, themes, avatars, etc. will be lost to time. There are a lot of great 360 games that did not make it to the backwards compatibility program and are not playable on Series consoles. Hopefully preservationists will get busy and help store this content for future retention. Time to hop on the 360 store and grab some games before they are gone forever.
Physical 360/PS3 discs are a wise investment in 2023. I imagine certain 360 games will spike on this news.

Remember when people were up in arms over Sony attempting this?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Heritage Global Patents & Trademarks is conducting an auction for QC Games' ARPG Breach IP, including the underlying engine technology.
Lots of video games get canceled due to studio closures, lack of resources, and other issues, but we would have loved to play these 10 canceled games.
Not only was P.T. an awesome demo, but just the way it was dropped on us and eventually revealed as Silent Hills was one of those really special moments in gaming. I don't even want to be reminded of it now.
I just want a Getaway 3. I mean Sony has nailed the cinematic, open world genre for a while now. A return to the Getaway with the tech they got now would be so good
Six Days in Fallujah was a game I would have been interested to see how it would have turned out. SOCOM like tactical shooter with destructive environments. Lots of work on it and then it was just scrapped.
