I still have mine, even though it's now in the kids room.

I don't have a 360 yet but when i do get it I will NOT get rid of my XBOX. Now, my current XBOX does need a new cdr drive so if anything I'll just get another XBOX when the price drops or find somewhere to replace the drive.

I love my XBOX and LIVE so I see no reason to part with it even with a 360.

I still have mine and I plan on keeping it till UC2 becomes backward compatible (probably forever). :)

That's what I'm looking at too is the "Backwards List". There are some pretty good games missing off it and UC2 is one of them. Right now only "Gears of War" is the closest thing to UC2 and it's still a ways off. Unreal 2007 is still in it's early stages and it's being pushed for the PC first. I still have the original Unreal Tournament with tons of mods and maps but I haven't played it in two years. It's shame Quake 4 has issues as it could be a fix until UC 2007 comes about. On the pc it was a blast too. Looking at the 360 "FPS" list there are lots of TBA'a and allot of ????marks. Gota have my FPS games.

Sold mine. There are still a dozen games I would love to play (that aren't on the BC list), but I got $220 for my system and 10 (crappy) games which I thought was good. So I'm not complaining. I really didn't want two systems hooked up and doubt I would boot up the other one if I kept it.

i agree two systems really suck too bad ms can't take the hint and do a better job it isn't like they went from a cartrige cosole to a disc one, we shouldn't even have to worry about a bc list.

If there where at least some indication that they are working on the BC that would be good enough for me but come on man I need UC2 updated.

well the only way to have pulled that off would have been hardware emulation and in the case of the original Xbox and Xbox 360 that would have added significantly to the cost, as MS would have had to continue pay Nvidia (previous Xbox GPU manufacturer) as well as the money they paid to ATI (current 360 GPU manufacturer).

I believe part of why MS went with ATI is that they were not happy with the agreement with Nvidia on the first Xbox. I believe with the 360 MS actually licensed or bought the rights to the technology from ATI so they would not have a similar problem in the future.
