Wow. God bless MS for demos.
Just put a half hour or so into Stuntman: Ignition. Looks like I will striking that one from my want list. It is a cool concept, but would be a very frustrating experience for a game. Seems like a concept that would work better as an extra mode in a different game.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Still no Beyond Good & Evil backwards-compatibility 
Nice to see Mech Assault 2 on there -- pretty decent game.
I know the reasons some games get BCed while others don't can be complicated. I get that. Still it never ceases to amaze me at some of the incredibly obscure titles that get made BC : NBA Live 2002? Was anyone really hanging onto that title hoping they could play it on the 360? How about "Outlaw Golf 9 More Holes of X-mas"? Anyone think they didn't get their $5 worth of playing time with that one after four or five years?

Wasn't Jet Set Radio part of the last update?
Anyway, OutRun 2/2006 being added is nice for me, still no Otogi or Sudeki though. Beyond Good & Evil would be nice, but I own the GameCube version. I would easily pick up the Xbox version if it was added though to try it out in 1080p.
taffer, basically, they write the emulation code to focus on getting key titles to work, anything that works after making sure what they were aiming for is running is how a lot of games make the list that you'd think nobody would ever play again.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2!
I have the Dreamcast version, but I picked up the Xbox version fairly cheap a few months ago, hoping it would get BCed for the 360. I'm guessing the game will be even more in demand now than it was before.
And I'm stoked on the Outrun 2 update, but still no Otogi is starting to piss me off.

Anyone see THIS article. Apparently ALL 360's are crippled (or have the potential to get the RRoD)
Interesting.

I'm sure they'll eventually extend the warranty out to 5 years and replace any that come back with a 65m chip and a massive heatsink like they're doing now.

I'm just hoping that I get back a 360 that has the problem fixed. So I can think it was good timing... Hopefully since they are willing to admit the problem exists in all units, they will be fixing said problem properly.

Same thing with KOF02/03 from last BC update, I wish they would clean it up before including it as the BC pack. It is so disappointing to have it playable but completely butchered.
Going to try Outrun 2/C2C next.

Yeah after playing the Stuntman Demo, it was more frustrating that fun. I don't enjoy games where if a mistake is made you must start over and do the exact same thing.
