Here's hoping MechAssault 2 gets to play on the 360 before too long...

With all of the hooplah around Street Fighter 2 for Live Arcade, I can't help but doubt that the Street Fighter Collection will be added to the compatibility list...ever.

To be honest, I'm happy with the current list and would much prefer the dev team spent their time on making it possible to import my game saves from my old xbox onto my 360.

This was announced over a month ago on Major Nelsons podcast. Major Nelson specifically said they did not expect another update until march and that the tom clancy games update was a total surprise.

Am I the only one who was listening? All those who are offended.....should have been offended a month ago.

I think everyone that owns a 360 is quickly realising that Backwards compatibility really doesn't matter much. Not when you have a decent library of 360 games to choose from. By fall, no one is going to give a crap about Backwards compatibility. We will be too busy playing 360 games and Live arcade.

People aren't buying 360 to play old games, that's just a bonus.

If BC is that big of a deal for you, just keep your friggin xbox. What is so hard about that? I bought a 360, and I have never looked back. Personally, I only wish I could delete all of the BC crap off my 360 harddrive so I could have more space.

#5, that might be true, but there are a few of us who own a 360 but never owned an XBox. BC was a big selling point for me (along with multimedia integration). The lack of video support in the 360 (connecting to an XP system running Windows Media Connect) and slight/moderate BC makes the 360 a bit less appealing than before I bought it.

It's still a great system, and I'm having a blast with PGR3, but it has fallen a little short of pre-release hype.

Lego Starwars and Battlefront 2 NEED to become compatible. It really is too bad that they arent, and aparently, might not be until march.

I honestly dont care. The only Xbox 1 game I have wanted to play since I got my 360 in November is Halo 2. Then again, I was also smart enough to hold onto my old Xbox.

Only a limited number of consoles have been available to date, and without any consoles for sale, what's the point?

Those enjoying backwards compatibility are perhaps the smallest audience Microsoft has ever supported.

I heard that playing xbox games on the 360 will play them at 720p resolution. Has anyone noticed any improvement of graphics while playing xbox games on the 360?

This is disappointing. Some of us were counting on quicker updates for the list b/c we've been long time Xbox owners and can't necessarily afford to purchase more than a couple of games for the 360. I already own a bunch of Xbox games that I was assured would play on my new system.

Four months is too long!

Halo 2 will play at 720p, but the textures were only optomized for standard resolution. So while the resolution is technically higher, you will notice that the textures appear "muddy" or "hazy."

I'd like to see PGR 2 and Outrun 2, backward compatible.

Oh, and when they say "March at the earliest." It most likely means, "Hopefully, by Summer." I'm guessing they found out with some bugs that surfaced with some of the other games, that they need to do more testing before releasing more compatible games.

I'm also guessing that the more a developer used coding tricks to get more performance out of the system, the more hoops they will have to jump through to get it backward compatible. I could be wrong though.
