online for these games will end only for the 7th gen ? or the 8th gen versions as well ?
The Xbox 360 store closes on 29th July, so EA will be 2 days late.
Sad to see all these stores being closed. But i guess all good things come to an end.
Makes sense. Got 3 Limited Edition on 360 physical and no idea how different the Premium Edition on PS3 physical I saw was of content differences.
Either way got that today, got Hardline 360 months ago and to own a hard drive install 360 game and got 4 on PS4.
Besides a 360 sealed copy of 3 (I doubt it will be worth anything but for the sake of it why not and for $5-9 between the PS3 Premium ($5) and 360 Limited Edition ($9) and the condition they are in of fair but all the paperwork too I think (just those store prices and no I don't care for complete anyway but I get a few that are of gems or some major games even in series I never experienced till now like bought Dead Rising 3 for Xbox One and may get 2 on 360 later), that's why I got the other 360 copy because it's not a standard copy and it wasn't sealed.
Then again found Neverdead, Lost Odyssey and others so might as well pick up whatever I can of availability even if I find it painful to do so might as well once they go via any means.
