Sort of what I expected... damage control for the motor-mouth Peter Moore.

I'm having flashbacks from Bleem! - big promises...no delivery.
Let's see if Microsoft can do otherwise.

Um, isn't the Backwards Compatibility List constantly being updated
anyway? (rolling eyes)

You be surprised at how little I need to play XBox games anymore. Save
Baldur's Gate II.

I'm saying the 360 has better games. (rolling eyes)

No it doesn't. There are exponentially more AAA games for the Xbox than
there are for the 360. Just because they look nicer doesn't make them
better.

Very true, I just picked up Brute Force for $2.99 yesterday, and got
..30 cents off with my discount card which was more than enough to pay
for tax.

While it isn't a great game, I'm enjoying it so far. Surprisingly nice
graphics for an old Xbox game as well.

Default Backward compatibility

I think backward compatibility is business matter. Every xbox game that have a 360 brother will not work in it (360) because you could paid like $20 to $30 dollars less if you buy it for xbox and use it in 360. Example of this is; i buy battlefield 2 for xbox. It cost $17.99 used in Gamestop. The 360 version used cost $44.99. Do you imagine people like me that don't want to spend a fortune in games, buying xbox games and using it in 360. What do you think will happen with the market of games?. And I talking about buying used games, don't mention new games. They all cost $54.00 to $64.00. And if the game is a hit the prize will not drop may be for a year or more. I am a Xbox fan, i have both Xbx and 360; but people; we are making the richer more rich. Think about it..... Fair could be for us if the games company and microsoft do not lock some games (because this what is happening). Yeah! Yeah! some games have problem in 360 but some are lock to not function because there are a copy made for 360 already. And if you are like me that both console and want to play system link with different one, couldn't because of that.
