Wiz- This has something to do with the Xbox 720 coming out. In a way they're being nice. I mean, who wants four years of Xbox live when the new Xbox is near release?

Surely you can't be sad. If you played Xbox without looking into it you won't miss it.

People who actually use this, will be disappointed.

I don't think people buy it for that, I think they buy it and trade it off or something similar I've heard.
