As I understand it, in this case "force feedback" refers to the wheel actually giving you a little resistance when you turn it. A lot of arcade driving games have this feature - it just adds to the realism.

I don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but on EGM I read that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was going to be available on the 360 over Xbox Live Marketplace. No word on whether it's the PS1 version or the Dreamcast version.

PS1 version, and you might be thinking about Saturn not Dreamcast.

So has anyone heard anything about a new Backwards Compatibility update? I'm hoping that NFL Head Coach is made backwards compatible as I've yet to play it.

They've been pretty quiet about it since the last update. There are still a number of high-demand games that aren't BC yet, so here's hoping for some news soon.

Here's the list from xbox.com. It was last updated in June 06. I have it in my "favorites" folder and I check it every now and then.

I won't play online until I get a nice bankroll on the single player. Your single player bankroll does apply to the multiplayer, right?

I downloaded the game before work. Went really quick actually. I think it took me longer to turn on my xbox, tv, log in, and start the download then the actual download.

Pretty nice for free. I look forward to many nights spent playing poker with friends and DVDTalkers.

No, I didn't get it from Microsoft.
Yes, I picked it up at Toys R Us. 2 actually, 1 of which is on Ebay to pay for both cameras.

I'm pissed off right now that it's not working with Texas Hold 'Em. What the hell?!

I was thumbing through this thread before I left for work. Needless to say, I set it up before I left and was a few minutes late for work.

Hmm.. I should scope out my local Toys R Us..

If they have them out early, it could be worth it to buy now.

Yeah, I downloaded it at 1:04 this morning. I started one of the single player scenarios but who really wants to play poker alone?

So I joined a match game and had everyone else at the table goin all in since I had a King high straight. Needless to say I gained $755 for my bankrole, and earlier in that game got my all in achievement. Now when I get back to town tonight I will need to clean all you guys out of your bankrolls.

By the way, one of the knuckleheads I was playing with called it already, as soon as the camera is working, this is gonna become strip poker. Oh, and the music and sound effects suck. You really need your own music for this one.

Nice. Downloaded Hold'Em. Hit "Play Now" and my machine froze. Now I have the flashing red lights when I turn my machine on. My "free" download is gonna cost me $$$, apparently.

I was impressed the download for Texas Hold'em went so fast. I know it is free forever if downloaded in the 1st 48 hours, but do you still have to confirm the download like other Arcade games? I just want to make sure that in 41 hours or so it won't revert to a trial version.

No camera at 4 local Toys R Us stores. Although 2 said they expected to have them later this week. I'll have to check back. Would be nice to get a camera early.
