Microsoft has announced that online play for original Xbox consoles and those played on an Xbox 360 over its Xbox Live will be discontinued. According to Xbox Live’s Larry Hryb:

“I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360. Our first step in this process will be to turn off auto-renewals for those members who only use Xbox LIVE on a v1 Xbox. While I can’t comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community. We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.”

Maybe they are clearing out extra space on XBL?

Watch how the pros play the game!
