XBConnect - Obsolete?

[Akany]

For those of you who don't know, www.xbconnect.com is PC software that enables you to play System Link games over the intnernet.

I guess with the Xbox360 this will become obsolete? I am presuming MS will be making sure they protect against this sort of software so they can control all online access that the Xbox360 has.

What are your thoughts?

thats a good question. i hope they do

And why do you hope MS protects against XbConnect and other programs etc?

I dont really mind, XB Connect doesnt hurt anyone. But as soon as they design programs and apps that can exploit/destroy the Xbox thats where the big trouble is

I think XBconnect will still be used however less populated. A large portion of XBconnect and Xlink Kai is modding (assuming next-gen is modable). Without these M$ free providers, hackers would have no place to go.

Good point, also who says that Xbox will once the Xbox360 is released - there will probably always be people that use these programs
