It's weird that they can't just make offline versions of the software, particularly when some of the things are the price of full retail games.
wow, looks like you got your money out of it and then some. I don't think I've ever played a game for 500 hours and that includes Halo 3 where I played 4500 games. MAYBE Halo 3. And I spent $60 on it.
As stated by others, XBOX Fitness is the only redeemable product that I turn my XBOX ONE on for.
Xbox Fitness is actually an awesome fitness tool. It's far superior to WiiFit in almost every way. Yet it was barely marketed at all. That alone was a huge mainstream selling point for the Kinect yet isn't advertised whatsoever.
A good tool which was poorly managed from Microsoft
Why are downloadable Rock Band songs still playable offline for me?
And why are downloadable and in-game Xbox Fitness workouts no longer playable after July 2017?
What the hell? What is the fucking difference? This is really dumb. Okay, make the game no longer downloadable. But why isn't this stuff playable offline?
I meant Dance Central. Sorry. But yes it is a game... a game that uses the Kinect exclusively. You have to wonder whether this decision to shut down Xbox Fitness will have any impact on that game too.
Really great idea, but I kind of feel like Apple TV might have more potential. Fitness apps abound in the App Store right now.
It's exactly the same as basically every other shuttered online service in the history of the internet. A year grace period is LONG by those standards as well. It doesn't mean it doesn't suck, but it's crazy that people are acting like this is some new low.
You might as well not buy anything on any digital service by that logic. They've literally all shut things down that people paid for.
This isn't acceptable. I paid $50 for Insanity. They should be issuing out refunds.
The last vestige of the Xbox One's original vision
The only way for MS to get the specific workouts and personalities was to pay 3rd parties for content licenses. Payments go away, and it's all gone.
A company that buys LinkedIn for 27 billion dollars should not be stingy because of peanuts like these.
Xbox Twitter is telling people to contact Customer Support for refunds at least.
That's a bummer, my lady uses it a lot. It's basically just workout videos with a score and Kinect integration. Surprised they can't figure out a way to make that work offline.

That's a lot longer than most online services that shut down give you.
microsoftstudios said:At that time, Xbox Fitness will no longer be available for download from Xbox Marketplace and content will not be available for play from the Xbox Marketplace nor within the game.
That really sucks, but seems a bit inevitable with the death of Kinect.
I'm sorry what? I can't play the workouts I bought? That doesn't seem legal? Surley that's protected under some consumer rights act
Games as a service - get used to it.
Exactly.It's probably license related.
