Well, as ost of us know, Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible with some original Xbox games. So I was wondering if anybody knew of a list or somthing of these games. Another questoin i have is would all the new games that are just coming out or are coming out in the future be backwards compatible?

As for right now, the 360 does not have a list of the games that will not be playable for the system.

It'll probably just be the Microsoft games like Halo that are all buddy-buddy with them.

You welcome.

I guess these games will be causing more trouble than good. lol

Yeah I gues I was wrong, I just found that link and was about to post it. Anyways if you ask me..that isn't a whole bunch of games atleast not as much as I thought.

Hmm- looking at the list, I do not see Bloodrayne or Bloodrayne 2

Microsoft is gonna have to try a bit harder if they want my money.

Mech Assault 2 can't be played. For a second I though I was going to have some extra cash by selling in the Xbox. Is it in any way likely that they might add more games to the backwards compatibility list?

I don't understand why everyone is so worried about the backwards compatibility. YOu can play the majority of the great games, but the good thing is, it's a new system, so you can look forward to NEW games with NEW sequels. Just keep your XBOX if you feel so inclined to play sub-par games like Mech Assault or Blood Rayne.

Well, I can understand why people would be upset about it. Let's not even consider the fact that the PS2 plays PS1 games, The DS plays GBA games and that GBA played many or most GB games and that also PS3 will play most PS2 games (I think) and last the Revolution will play GC games as well as older titles through downloads (whew, I'm out of breath.) A reason people should be concerned is a couple other reasons.

1. It's nice to be able to sell the old system and get a few bucks for it to put towards the new systems or games. And it's nice not having to pull out an older system just to play older games. It can be a big convience for gamers. Also the current system and next generation systems aren't exactly small. Not everyone has the room for their consoles.

2. The price. Now that systems aren't going to be any lower than $300 and can and will be $400 and up, I think gamers should be concerned if the new system will play their older games. I understand it has to do with new chips, etc and having the rights to play the old games on new equipment. It's hard to explain but I read an article about why some or a lot of games wouldn't be playable on the Xbox360. Regardless gamers are paying a lot of money to play. So of course expectations will be high.

You have to pay for a emulator to play your old Xbox games? Microsoft is a whore. Its that simple, they are.

Its a wonder you don't pay money to plug your Xbox 360 in for power. I mean you already pay to use a DVD Player with the cheesey remote. Oh 30 dollars that I REALLY shouldn't pay for. Pay 50 bucks to play online for a year. Yeah, its not that bad, but notice how you don't have to pay to play online for PC...PS2...and even.....*gag* Nintendo Revolution? Hm...

Microsoft is making a killing with their gaming system...the Xwhore...I mean Xbox. They're doing a great job too...practical people like myself want nothing of it.

Backwards Compatability isn't that big of a deal for me. I mean once you get how many games are you actually going to go back and play? Halo for you fanboys and maybe some others but most of your favorite games will be out on XBOX 360 with sequels or even realesed as an XBOX 360 game. I do want to be able to play a few old games and their on that list but once it comes out you'll be wanting to play the new games so what is the big deal. Halo 3 will be released on 360 so take a breather.

No what I want to know is, will the games being realesed on the original XBOX later (after the launch) be playable on 360?? That is what you need to be worried about.

You do not have to pay for anything! The required patches will be available for download through Xbox Live and through xbox.com. If you buy the full system with the hard drive, it will be prepared from the factory with compatability for some games.

Yes, people will. Look on Ebay and you will see people paying decent money to buy old games and it's not always those who just want them as collectibles. There's also emulators that people use to play old games, flashback systems and controllers and new releases that hold numerous old games on them. And Nintendo has a popular line of classic releases of old NES and SNES games on their GBA which has sold well. So there is obviously a big market for old games.

I'm not an Xbox fan but I know that when I get my Nintendo Revolution, I'll be playing some of the better GC games as well as getting downloading older games from the NES, SNES, N64.

If you can play some of those classic GCN, N64, SNES, and NES games on Nintendo Revolution, I am definitely buying that. Plus those new games they are coming out with too. Not to mention you can play probably all of the GCN games on NR and not just some of them. I will just mooch off of friends for games like Halo 3, GTA games, and more.
- I guess Coasterlove said it all for me.

What do I care though, I play my game systems once every two months.
