27 new titles back-compat on Xbox 360

Awesome that FlatOut is finally on the list, but are there any fixes to known glitches for any game? For example, the ghost images and slow Backwash framerate on Halo 2.

Goldeneye on Xbox Live Arcade, not likely

Guys, I did a little resaarch a while ago about all this. I have been wanting Rare to release some of their older Nintendo 64 games on XBLA for some time now (love to see Banjo-Kazooie in Hi-Def!). I researched the sizes of this game and other Rare titles, including Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Jet Force Gemini. Also the max size for a game on XBLA is not 80, it is 50MB. Notice MB is different from Mb.

Some popular Rare titles on the N64

GoldenEye 007
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Perfect Dark
Jet Force Gemini
Blast Corps

Go to www.wikipedia.org and type in the name of one of these games. Find out the size of it, listed on the page. Then open up a new browser and go to Google. Type in, for example '64 Mb to MB'. This will give you the MB size of a game, or any file. Every MB is divided up into 8Mb. For example '64 Mb to MB' will give you 8 MB. My computer is having a problem getting to wikipedia for some reason. So you guys would have to do it instead, sorry.

All of these franchises, including Conker, belong to Rare and Microsoft EXCEPT for GoldenEye. EA now owns the James Bond license, including GoldenEye 007. The size of the game is not the issue, it's the rights to it.
