Get it for PC if you can. The loading times are incredibly shorter & you can access mods and what not. As of right now, Morrowind is not on the BC list. Seeing how it's sequel Oblivion (which isn't nearly as good as Morrowind in my eyes) did so well on 360 it doesn't make sense that it's not on the list yet, but hopefully it will make the next update. If you do not have Xbox Live there are two other ways to obtain backwards compatibility updates (please note you need a 360 hard drive to play BC Xbox games): 1) Burn the update onto a CD or DVD, or 2) order a disc by mail from Xbox.com.

Call 18004myxbox and ask them to send a disc with a patch on it for Morrowind.  First make sure Morrowind is BC by checking the list on xbox.com.

I gave it an hour, and it dang sure didn't go away. That annoyed the living crap out of me. That, and not being able to use your shield on command. Meh, it needs a compass because the world is too big to know where to go.

Anyone know the specs for the PC needed to run Morrowing. Plus, are the mods for free (yes I know the user-created ones are, but what about the ones Bethesda made for the GOTY edition, Tribunal and Bloodmoon? i think)

As of now, it's not BC.Trickshot771

Which is retarded, and the only reason I don't own it.  I never had the original XBox, and I've played 160 hours on Oblivion on the 360, but I can't play it's predecessor.  If it ever does get a BC update I'll get it in a heartbeat.

 I *heard* that morrowind might be added during the spring update
