When my launch 360 crapped out, I bought an Elite. I love it because you don't have to go through and try and decide what to delete to free up space. So if you have the extra money, I would go with the Elite.

I guess I should give up hope of ever seeing Morrowind on the BC list.

PixyJunket 04-15-08 10:36 AM

I don't see that list anywhere else and most (?) of the games were already BC.

I actually thought they were not going to make anymore games backwards compatible.

Yep. I only looked at about half of the list, but all the ones I checked were already on the list, and they weren't marked as being "new" as of the November update, so they've been compatible for a long time now.

You may be right, here is a comment regarding the list.

Wow, what on earth were these guys at Loftygaming thinking!?

This update came out in December 2006!! YES< December 2006, and they are posting this April 4th, 2008.

Sorry about that, Chris :(

PixyJunket 04-15-08 10:56 AM

I thought so. I had butterflies reading down the list looking for Beyond Good & Evil or Sudeki and was disappointed and then confused at the sensation of déjà vu that was sweeping over me. Hopefully the Xbox Originals convinces them to keep plugging away at BC support.

Um, actually, Morrowind's been BC for about a year now. :)

Yeah I prefer the Elite too. That way I can download all the crap I want without having to figure out what to delete first. Right now I have around 80 GB free.

(Of course in my PS3 I have ~200 GB free of 300 GB :D)

Most people tend to forget the "The Elder Scrolls" part of the title when checking the BC lists ;)

Speaking of:

Coming to Xbox Originals: Splinter Cell:CT and Metal Arms

Next Monday (April 21st) two new titles will be added to the Xbox Originals catalog: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Metal Arms – Glitch in the System. Both will be available for 1200 points each in all Xbox LIVE regions except Korea (SC and MA) and Japan (MA.)

Yeah, and I occasionally see people also mistakenly write "Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls". That always cracks me up. Its like they are saying that Oblivion is the actual title and The Elder Scrolls is the subtitle. In truth, The Elder Scrolls IV is the actual title and Oblivion is the subtitle.

Wouldn't it do just the opposite? Why offer more BC when they could sell us the games over again? Especially ever since they've made Psychonauts available, the online clamor for continued BC support has died down.

Pshychonauts is on the BC list. Every game available for D/L is.

The games have to be backwards compatible in order for them to offer them for download. The downloadable versions are no different than placing the disc in the drive other than costing more and taking up a large amount of space on the hard drive.

Oh I know Psychonauts is up. I just remember there being a rally cry to get it on one of the updates when it wasn't. Since then, I haven't seen half the demand Pysch got for any other title.

But I didn't realize that the XB originals had to be BC as well. Seems kind of obvious now, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together.

PixyJunket 04-16-08 10:30 AM

The push for Psychonauts was initiated by the game's creator, if I recall correctly.

I wish there was a push for Beyond Good & Evil, personally (yeah, yeah, broken record, I get it).

Yes. We've been withholding it from you. All the gaming sites are in on it too.

Quack 04-16-08 12:46 PM

Just another question if I may.....Ok, so when I buy my 360, does it automatically come with a warranty from MS? If so, would there be a reason why I'd want to get say for example, a 2 year protection plan from Best Buy for 60 bucks? Just if some of you can help :P

You get one year for everything, three years for the red ring of death.

If you want to extend the "everything" warranty, do it through Microsoft. Their shoddy DRM will fuck you out of all your XBLA and DLC purchases if you get a replacement from Best Buy. They'll fuck you out of it if they replace it too, but you can EVENTUALLY get them to fix it for you in that case.
