That really sucks... Not that I ever used eyetoy chat, or for that matter ever managed to get my PS2 online (setup was more difficult on PS2 than PS3)

I heard Portable ops was going down too, because of MGO... I hope that's not a trend...

That sounds odd. Portable Ops isn't that old or unpopular yet.

I also read that Monster Hunter and RE: outbreak series are offline too. I wish Capcom would have private server option built into the game or something.

Monster hunter! I never even got a chance to play it once >_>...

I hope it doesn't shut down this year.

atv offroad fury no longer works online either

[Muzikdude]

Reminds me of when they canned the Metal Gear online servers = (...
Although, they SHOULD get rid of the Socom 1 server... anybody who still plays that online is nuts.

Bah! Twisted Metal Black... WHY!

I got a chances to play Resident Evil online once. It's sad to hear companies just abandoning instead of improving online games.
