Thanks for the heads up.
Having a system thread for a system that has been out for almost a year old is fucking stupid. XBLA makes sense, because those games come and go quickly, but just make official game threads for the 360.
Maybe a 360 demo thread too.
No insulting the Zboz in the official Zboz thread pls.
The 360 is less a system and more a way of life.
pls blve.
Amazon finally sent out my Gold Live card today. I got bumped to Silver membership a few days ago :(.
This thread is needed and desired.
Go kill yourself, Yoshi.
You guys are a bunch of pussies. Back in my day, we didn't need system threads. That's when men were men. :p
Blind buys = life in the fast lane
Box Drink makes me hate 360.

Amazon still hasn't shipped mine yet and I placed the order on August 9th. At least my sub doesn't run out until November.Quote:

I was just coming here to post the exact same thing.
Lego Star Wars II! Sweet, I don't have to get the PS2 version.
Still no PDO.
Hahahahaha. What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
For fucks sake, I seriously believe that they are systematically choosing (Smashing Drive aside) the absolute worst, stupidest, least wanted, most outright ridiculous choices of the entire original Xbox library, and deliberately passing over every cult hit, hardcore-leaning game that people are actually passionate about, just for kicks.
Where the fuck is my Psychonauts, Phantom Dust, and the Sega games, Microsoft?
I truly believe more people care about Smashing Drive and Barbie Horse Adventures than Psychonauts or those ass water Sega games.
IBTN.
That list is total shit.
Fatal Frame II is supposed to be good, Burnout 3 is on there AND they updated Mortal Kombat. Not a total loss.
That list is also a good indicator of why I never bothered buying an xbox.
Just curious, but to those of you that frequently use 360 for playing Xbox games, roughly what percentage of the BC games play perfectly?
360 was worth it as soon as PS3 NBA 2K7 got delayed to like March.
So I'm scrolling, scrolling, waiting for Orta, nothing. YOU SUCK MICROSOFT BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY TEAM.
Also, Smashing Drive is junk. Quite possibly the worst TNL recommendation ever.
Still no Rallisport 2. :cry:
Perfectly in the truest sense, none, but "well enough to make you think this is a nonemulated game" about 65% or so
Ouch :/Quote:

Every game I've played works just fine except for Red Dead Revolver.
Aside from occasional glitches (for example, the opening movie of Cthulhu doesn't play, just sound, but all the others later are fine), I've had perfect BC. Playing Amped 2 right now and it's better than it was on the Xbox (visuals look crisper, shorter loading times).
Yay worthy BC titles:
Aggressive Inline
Burnout 3: Takedown
Counter Strike
Half Life 2 UPDATED
Lego Star Wars II
Sid Meier's Pirates
Rogue Trooper
Serious Sam
Smashing Drive
It is missing Otogi 2 to really be worth anything.
This update is worth it alone for Links 2004. I still want JSRF though.
This will definitely give me motivation to fix my 360. Thanks Microsoft!
I already own an Xbox.
I don't care what they do about backwards compatability.
I would care if the 360 was fully compatible like PS2 is with PSone games--lets you retire one console to make room for new ones. But 360 backwards compatibility is so spotty it's really a non-factor. A 360 can't fully replace an Xbox like PS2 replaced the PSone (and PS3 / Wii will replace PS2 / Cube).Quote:

Wouldn't it be nice if you could retire the gigantic old Xbox though?Quote:

I'm trying to show Brett the appeal of backwards compatibility, what do you think I missed?Quote:

The part where he agreed that it'd be nice to completely replace an old system with a new one, but that 360's spotty backwards compatibility doesn't allow that and is thus a non-factor.Quote:

Backwards compatibility is a new thing, barring of course the early 1980s stuff.

with that said all I want for backwards compatability is PDO, gunvalkyrie, and street fighter aniversary collection
Say, when they update a title is it all releases, US/PAL/JAP?
I'll buy one of these things when Panzer Dragoon Orta and Metal Slug 3 are emulated.
Just saying...
No. Some games aren't in certain regions, while others are.Quote:

It is true that HL2 looks ten times better on 360 than it does on Xbox.Quote:

I just found this article about how Microsoft offers one (as does any company which has a warrenty for their product), which may be a potential way to get Microsoft to fix your 360 if it does happen to break.

I've been gone for a few days, so who know's if we already covered this, but the 360 has a BC update.

Brace yourself for the 360 debut of...

EDIT: Oh. There's a whole thread on this already. Whatever...
Yeah, diff already posted that.
I own an Xbox too. Unfortunately it is fucking broken. So I care alot about which games they make backwards compatible. When the day finally comes and you learn Xboxes don't last forever you may find that you care as well.Quote:

The only thing that would make m sad about my Xbox breaking is the fact that I'd lose all the fun shit I've put on it.
Although true... I have yet to have a system break on me AND that I miss it (or can't replace it easily). By the time the Xbox breaks on me, I probably don't care at that point.... (or someone will have programmed an emulator for it for the PC to play all my remaining games)Quote:

What's wrong with Dreamcast? Besides the controller and memory card, that is.Quote:

Shidoshi: I missed Links on that list. Awesome that it works now.
Looks like Assassin's Creed is not a PS3 exclusive if anyone cares.
I'll put my xbox away once a mod comes out for the 360. pls blv.
That's been known for awhile.
Fucking Awesome.Quote:

The PS3 is going to have their own versions of both, though still don't know how much Sony will push developers to include them.Quote:

If it's free it won't have the depth. If it doesn't have the depth it won't have the following.
PS2's online service was free and even at it's highest points it never came close to Live.
Thanks for keeping up, guy.Quote:

After a month I finally got my 360 back. Too bad it still doesnt work!!! FUCKING STUPID ASSHOLES!
PWNED!Quote:

Well I heard it was running on a Gamecube with a Wii controller made of candy.
XSATA: Tell me more.
What can I do with it besides transfer Xbox1 save files? There's one at my local Gamestop that I might pick up, to prevent me from having to unlock everything in Deception again, but I need more reasoning than that before dropping 50 bones.
that is one sweet assassin thenQuote:
