  • Microsoft Stops XBox 360 Production, Servers To Stay Online

    Posted by manishs

    Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it has stopped manufacturing new Xbox 360 consoles. "Xbox 360 means a lot to everyone in Microsoft," wrote Phil Spencer, Xbox chief. "And while we've had an amazing run, the realities of manufacturing a product over a decade old are starting to creep up on us."

    The company says that it will, obviously, continue to sell the existing inventory of Xbox 360, a gaming console it launched on November 22nd, 2005.

    Xbox 360 game servers will also remain functional, the company said.

    Microsoft also assured that services such as Games with Gold and Deals with Gold will continue on Xbox 360, and if your console runs into a hardware issue, Xbox Support will take care of it.

    The Xbox 360 is currently available for purchase at $199.99, for a 500GB model with a copy of Forza Horizon 2. Microsoft added Xbox 360 backward compatibility to its current generation Xbox One console last year.
