If your that worried about the more obscure Xbox titles, you can pick a used one up for $50 or less. its no big deal...the 360 plays all the more popular titles

Yeah pretty much. They even say it in one of their troubleshooting guides that it WONT be updated. Really sad, wouldnt have happened if Sony pulled BC from their system. The list is pretty good though, about 50% of the library. They started off at around 20-25% with a lot of the emulation being bad so in two years they made some excellent progress. Most people will find that most of their games to work.

Mafia on XBOX is crap, heck the game hasnt aged well at all. Just get it on PC for cheap. Many popular games were left out simply due to emulation issues, for example the Timesplitters games

There a number of good titles the Xbox does not play. One of the PofP and all the DDR come to mind right away. There were a few others that I was upset about but I forget what they are right now.

^^ and that was concentrated on my the Backwards compatibility engineers? no really what happend is that they made one game backwards compat and found that another game worked just as well if not better under that same BC coding so they added it to the list and released it.

Exactly. Didn't they say the method for GTA was what allowed that Barbie game to be compatible?

360's still support the biggest OG Xbox titles through backwards compatibility, unlike PS3's.

Actually, it is a big deal if some of those titles are ones you like. CvS2, arguably the best 2D fighter ever, isn't playable - any 360 fanboy who makes a big deal out of SFIV would be a moron to sweep that lack of BC under the rug. Or games like Deathrow - my favorite sport game of all time, and an outright excellent game.

Seriously... With how often the "No BC" gets dropped as a detriment of the PS3 now, sweeping some glaring omissions of the 360's BC under the rug is pretty hypocritical. Yes it has some, but the 360's lineup wasn't just the "more popular titles" - so why doesn't it play them? We all know why, but to just excuse it would be fanboy whitewashing.

I really can't think of many games for the Xbox that were good.. Maybe a handful.. It really feels like Halo and Halo 2 was what carried the console.

Off the top of my head... CvS2, Deathrow, Gunvalkyrie, KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, Fable, Oddworld, and Riddick come to mind. Fairly certain there were quite a few more that I rather enjoyed, but, those come to mind off the top of my head. You're missing out if you just focus on the "popular titles."
