Just to be clear. PS3 is dead. The xbox is a rotting corpse out in the 95 degree sun.

Of course Xbox is dead. Why would they support it when they want you to buy a 360? They quit making the system over a year ago.

If the Xbox were outselling the Xbox360, then they might consider that.

I'm sure there's a lot of older games you never got around to playing.

The xbox never made money. It was a sinkhole. Why support something that doesn't make you money? Just the nature of business. They cut their losses and moved on and now are looking to turn a profit on the 360(despite the $1 billion potential in repairs ). If that happens, look for them to support it longer than they ever did with the original Xbox.

Holy crap, why didn't they show off Lawnmower Racing Mania 2007 at E3? It would have been a huge showstopper for sure.

Found some screenshots of Lawnmower Racing Mania 2007:







More here (if anyone actually cares )

Did anyone know that there is actually a U.S. Lawnmower Racing Association ?

I'm always behind the time... I'm quite content finding and playing 5-10 dollar used X-Box games... the days of me spending $40+ on a new video title is over.

You know. Everyone mocks that game, but if it were a $10 XBLA title, there would be some takers.

That's because you download it in the privacy of your own home, and don't have to deal with the scorn of the Gamestop guy as you ask for it.

Scorn ... or jealousy!?

Seriously, though, will this be backwards compatible?

Hopefully the coverboy on this one doesn't suffer the dreaded Lawnmower Racing Mania curse.
