So now really is the last chance saloon to grab any games or DLC you are after before Phil Spencer bumps off the Xbox 360 for good and all digital games and their DLC join the digital dark age.
Our editor takes an in depth look at this news with the official press release to customers of the Xbox 360.

Along with games that are having the online shutdown or have had major chucks of the game already shutdown.
