The saddest day in XBLA history. Update
awkwardmongoose \| 9:39 AM on 11.05.2008	20 comments

Today, everyone with an xbox should be mourning the passing of an XBLA legend. Early this morning...Yaris was killed. The entire product page for the incredible, lifelike racing game has been deleted from the arcade, is their no reason in this world anymore!

Microsoft has yet to comment, so I'm not sure if this is part of their talked about de-listing plan, or an accident!? I hope it's the second one, because Yaris is a masterpiece that should be played by all, second only to Space Giraffe as the best downloadable titles on the system.

/sarcasm

As its now been on the front page, what really happened is Microsoft's deal with Toyota has just expired. What a shame.

Did you happen to be looking for this or something? I never would have known or cared.

No! I would not be embarrassed if I was, but it was on Joystiq and some other sites...I figure Dtoid should know as well.

I can't wait to look back on the Yaris days, years from now and reminisce about it's amazing amazingness.

I was so distraught that I bought Space Giraffe last night.

I cried, but I'm not sure if it was because I missed Yaris or because Space Giraffe is so awful.

@Ronburgandy

It was actually REALLY fun to play with other people, maybe as a break from Rock Band or whatever. Me and a few friends were crying over the fire effects. It's a terrible game, but in a fun to joke about way. This post was sarcastic, but I seriously didn't regret playing it.
