21 games. :/ I own exactly one of those.
I imagine it'll be "100" by the time it's out of the preview program.

Surprised they glosed over the Gears of War Ultimate Edition so quickly, but then again with so many leaks I guess there wasn't much to say.

I own most of them (Natch. I way over-spent in the glory days of XBLA). Looks like half of them are games included in the Rare compilation. Not sure I need to buy that now.

Backward compatability is great, and Rise of TR is a nice exclusive, but Sony might drop VR

Well to be fair, I haven't actually played 2. Is it different from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1?
Bloodborne just didn't click with me and I would like for Dark Souls to stay Dark Souls.

It's pretty similar, same slightly floaty controls and combat. Bloodborne's weapons were hit and miss with people, but the combat was actually satisfying in that one imho.

Do your game saves transfer over with BC/emulated 360 games? I've put some serious time into Kefflings already.

Rumor is Activision is no longer doing DLC exclusivity due to low sales of the season pass and DLC for Ghosts and Advanced Warfare.

Of course, that could all change by tonight at Sony's keynote.

The FAQ page says saves carry over. Worst case is you might have to migrate the files via usb from 360 to XO.

I'm willing to sign up for the preview program to get in on this action today. Can someone invite me, please?
