xbox360.ign.com — Today, at last, Microsoft opened up about which Xbox titles you'll actually be able to play on Xbox 360. Along with a compatibility Q&A on the official site, Microsoft released an initial list of Xbox games confirmed to be compatible -- more than 200 already.

This is a total joke. Forcing people to buy an upgrade just to get something that was promised is typical MS behavior. And even then it won't be available for every title.

Backwards compatibility is important for a cheap bastard like me.And when i play games i don't feel like having 2 consoles, 1 is enough thank you very much...Allot of good games are not on the list. Aswell i guess i'll just have to wait for the ps3 maybe by then the x-box360 will be half price or something. Micro$oft made to deceive, Sheeesh

"Who gives an f**k about backwards compatibility? And who gives a f**k about the Xbox 360? The answer to both: Nobody. Backwards compatibility is just a way to get you to buy the console with the false illusion that your getting two consoles in one. Did any of you play PS1 games on your PS2 after the first month or two? When the available titles grew to a large enough level for you to move on. This HD thing is so overrated, I'm not sure about in the States, but here in the UK I don't know anybody with a HD TV, people are paying for something they will never use."Sure people will play 360 games first when the console releases, but what about later when you want to experience Halo in HD. You gotta put your brain to work, and yes there are other countries in the world besides UK, If HD isn't there, that's too bad, you're missing out, because here in the US, there is HDTV content, and some people will gladly take advantage of it, like me. Backwards Compatibility is huge to any console. So go whine somewhere else if you can't play your games on next gen. consoles.

kida, why do I keep hearing the argument about a company not caring about the consumer, at least MS has never loaded DRM software that fuxxor your system... any event, the belief that there is a kindly old man at the top of a company's food chain actually gives two s**ts about a consumer is fasle... they don't freakin care, none of 'em...

Microsoft sucks. I don't want to have multiple consoles in my living room, nor do I want to play old games through an "emulator" that is going to be inefficient and slow. This is why I don't own an XBOX. If I was an XBOX owner I'd be pissed that it's such a pain to play all my old games. And the reason the new games aren't on the list is probably because they can't run through the slow emulator.yea because this emulator is so slow it can only run halo 2, an xbox game, in 720p with antialiasing.... yea so maybe you can go crawl back under your bridge, troll.
