"Run, Play, Think! - RIP Xbox 360"
"It'll be just like our favorite biscuits. Always there for us when we need them. But the biscuits aren't quite right, are they? No. They're missing chunks. They may taste the same, but you're not getting the full, crumbly, lovely biscuit experience you've come to expect, because parts of them are just missing, and there's no way to retrieve those broken, missing parts. Just like your now retro Xbox 360 games. All your discs are still there, but did you really expect them to keep those servers up for all that time? No, of course not. All that downloadable content is just gone, as if it never existed. Lost in the annals of time. But it just serves us right, doesn't it? We can never go back. It will never be the same. It'll just be a pale imitation of times past."
It's sad because it's oh so very true.
Also, take this video and replace all references to the 360 with PS3 and it will be equally applicable.
However, if you think it's going to be bad with the 360 and PS3 in 20 years or however long, just wait an additional 5 to 20 years or so when the new X-bone and PS4 are "retro." It will be even worse.
