Xbox LIVE being discontinued for Original Xbox consoles and games


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.

This. Does that mean that you just can't use XBox Live with the original XBox stuff, which means nothing to me? Or does it also mean that their Live Arcade shop won't have XBox Original games for sale, which would annoy me to a minor degree, as I would like to play the original Halos at some time and one of them is available there and I'm waiting for the other to get put up for download at some other time.
