Check it out, what's your input on this matter.  Pretty sad update if you ask me.  Where's Project Snowblind, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Elder's Scrolls 3, etc. etc. etc.

Where's Marvel vs Capcom 2? Obviously Microsoft has their priorities very much out of order if they're getting Crash Bandicoot down before Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Is the update an auto update yet or do we still have to burn it on to CD?

Are you kidding?  JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, RTCW, Republic Commando, Mercenaries, UC2, Breakdown... all in one swoop.

That's pretty good

whats sad about it?  they didnt even have to update it, but they did and you still b1tch at it.  be happy for someting extra for free that you had to do nothing for.jeffrow925

 Had to do nothing for?  What about check their stupid website everyday for the update for the past 135 days?  Waste my time.  My time isn't free mo-fo.  I'd be happy if they'd just SAY which ones they are working on next and give an approximate completion date.  Why do they have to keep the upcoming titles in the dark?  Because they want the website traffic and morons like me to keep checking back with them.

Xbox 360 owners owe it to themselves to buy Phantom Dust (awesome and competitive online) and Panzer Dragoon Orta. Two of the best xbox games yet unfairly overlooked.

no one is forcing you to check their website everyday, thats on you.  and you know when they update the list its going to be on message boards like this so if you check this board often you dont have to check that site.

 and i meant you had to do nothin for them to release a update.

I had to do nothing for them to release an update?  Myself along with millions of others bought their product - think that counts for something.  I could've sworn there was an article prior to 360's release that said, "Every Xbox game will be BC within 1 year of 360's release.  Why is it that all PS and PS2 games are bc with PS3, but Microsoft can't do their complete BC in 2 years?

Well that's not exactly true. Every PS and PS2 game may be BC in the US, but in Europe the list is pretty poor. But that veers dangerously close to SW territory so I'll leave it at that. Anyways, the reason is that the Xbox and 360 use completely different graphics technology, so it isn't feasible to have 100% BC, but as an owner you should already know that.

All i want is either (Chronicles of Riddick, Project Snowblind, Deus Ex: IW, Morrowind, Silent Hill 3, or Contra: Shatterd Soldier)  I don't have a cra p load of Xbox titles, but the ones I have are pretty darn good.  Sad to know MS is looking past these games (out of all games) and the fact they don't POST what they are working on is a total SCAM.

Actualy NTSC PS3s have 99% compat and PAL is sitting just ober 80%, in the last 30 days there have already been 2 emulation upgrades for the PAL machines. Id say it isnt the graphics differences which slow down 360 emulation but the fact the 360s on PPC while the original Xbox was on x86. Very different which means emulation of translation will take a little longer. PS2 and PS3 are both on PPC but the PS3 also shares a small amount of hardware as well on the NTSC version.

IMO, it's a great update. Several of my favorite xbox games (Mechassault 2, Unreal Championship 2) made the list and a few I've been wanting to try (Phantom Dust, Panzer Dragoon Orta) made it as well.
