    Man, I knew this day would come, but I hate now that it actually has a date. My 360 is still going strong, and I’m dreading the day it gives out. Yeah, I could just move everything over to my Xbox One, but I’m not even sure all the 360 games I own are backwards compatible.

      You can still play/download games you own, just cannot buy new ones from their digital store.

        Not if my 360 quits on me and they’re not backwards compatible or available with my Xbox One.

          I suppose you could buy another 360? There’s a lot still out there.

          Xbox emulation looks underdeveloped compared to PlayStation and Wii, but from what I can tell Xenia has come a long way in the last couple of years. If you’re willing to give it a go, you could try ripping the games off your discs and just play on PC

            That definitely sounds like something I should look into, especially since I play on PC as well. Also sounds good for a couple older Xbox games I love that never got ported to PC. Thanks for the suggestion!

      360s are in their golden age of cheapness right now. They’re outdated, but not yet retro. Buy a couple extras and toss them in the closet for when you need spare parts.
