i can make a new pc and load steam and play pretty much everything. situation: 10 years from now a new xb2 comes out. no bc, and they stop supporting xbo, sooo even with internet can you still play your games if you have some old gaming nostalgia one boring weekend? if they are not supporting it anymore? Its like i can do that with every system i have ever owned, i have kept them and go back from time to time and enjoy them still today. Not the the xbo... im just about done with consoles at this point, we will see about sony. at least my kids will be able to know what a real gaming console was like to actually own.
edit: plus steam has much better sales, M$ still wants like full price for old shitty games and the only sale i remember being worth a shit on xbl was when i bought kameo which was a launch title for $5 on sale bc its normally $20 : / and its what 8 years later?

1st: This goes for EVERY console ever made.
2nd: You complain that you can't play these games when MS decides to shut XBL down (How likely is this in the first place?) AND you say Steam is better because of this in the same paragraph. What do you think will happen when Steam decides to kill its service? (Just as likely as MS shutting down XBL)
3rd: I can't play my old PC games on newer hardware, sorry. I have a great collection of MS Dos, Windows 95, Windows 2000 games that won't run on Windows 7 or Windows 8

dos box and compatibility mode. it takes some tweaking but it can be done. i dont often since i do have legacy consoles with some of those games. which i own. its a bad compairioson but i can how some would conclude it, plus the sales, M$ cant compete with steam sales and i doubt they would want to.
