The Xbox 360 was a fine console for its time, but nobody would argue that the Xbox One isn’t a superior machine. Nevertheless, the Xbox 360 remains a viable machine for many people, offering some of the same access to media content as the Xbox One. That’s becoming just a touch less true, with ESPN dropping support for their Xbox 360 app.

ESPN Xbox 360 app support — ESPN is dropping Xbox 360 app support.

The change (via Deadspin) actually went into effect yesterday, 3/23/2016, and so if you’ve relied on the ESPN app to keep up with sports on your Xbox 360, you’re likely already aware. In any event, you’ll need to find another way to stream ESPN content, including buying your own Xbox One.

It’s no surprise that Xbox 360 should lose support as time goes on. Let us know in the comments if this is the tipping point for you to finally make the jump to Microsoft’s current console.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
