Microsoft pulls plug on Xbox support | Tech News on ZDNet

We always say the a product reaches its end of life when it is no longer supported. The original Xbox has finally reached the end of its road. Don’t fret though, if you haven’t replaced it with the Xbox 360 now might be the time to do it. As an all around entertainment device the Xbox 360 certainly provides many different entertainment options to your TV set. 

"On March 2, 2009, service repairs for Original Xbox video game systems for which the Warranty has expired will no longer be available," reads Microsoft's official support site. "Any other technical support, documents, and content, however, will continue to be available to all our customers. Although Microsoft is ending repair services for the Original Xbox, an upgrade program and support will be maintained for Original Xbox consoles that are still under Warranty."

There is no need to cry though. The Xbox had a good run with over 25 million units sold.
