i was really hoping that after the spring maintenence of the xbox live....that the BC list will have more games added in there... or fix some that are already playable but with glitch everywhere.

I dont see this happpening anytime soon ... or at alll..

i guess i'll have to find me an original xbox to play my old copy of riddick

I'm sure they'll come out with onother batch of BC games. Maybe in the spring update. There's usually a bit of time between BC releases.

I remember reading an article online where it was mentioned that 'continuing to get games backwards compatible' was becoming 'of less importance'. So, like most, I'm interested in what is happening. Guess we'll have to wait for te next update, which should be within a month or 2 I would think. I wish they'd get !cough! Sniper Elite fixed!! :?

I'd like to see Riddick, Phantom Dust, Mercenaries and Panzer Dragoon Orta. Other than that, I'm totally set. This is true even though I still have my old 360 and stuff, its just that xbox games played BC on my 360 look a LOT better than old xbox games played on the old xbox. I guess its because I don't have the better component cables for my Xbox, just the regular 3 cables, and I use a high def tv.

Didn't MS say something about people not really caring about BC? Unfortunately I don't have a link (and am currently too drunk/tired to find one), but I'm pretty sure it was on GS or IGN somewhere.

Understandable if they want to put their focus on new games/improving the hardware, but to dismiss BC like that seems a bit silly. Weren't games like Panzer Dragoon Orta still not supported? (At least, that's how I remember it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

someone posted something about the spring update a couple of days ago. supposedly the spring update will have a new batch of BC games. i hope they make these BC: Riddick Spartan Total warrior Greg hastings paintball(always wanted to try this) i mean it's been awhile since the last update of BC games so i'm guessing they are 1)either working on a BIG batch of BC games or 2) they just arent caring about it too much.

I remember seeing a post somewhere (I'm not making this up, this was probably one of the first few posts I've ever read) that they're actually going to start increasing focus on backwards compatible games. Screamin_Eagle is right about the spring batch thing, and I think we can expect games like Riddick in it.

You're wrong. Most PS2 games work on the PS3, but they all look really bad. Somehow Sony managed to make the PS2 games look worse on better hardware. Google 'PS2 graphics look on PS3' to see what I'm talking about. Also, the PS3's that are being released in countries outside of the US, Canada, and Japan have almost no backwards compatibility compared to their North American/Japanese cousins.

There is going to be one more,there really isn't many games left for them too add to the 360 bc list.

I'm hoping they add jet set radio to the nest one,it will come in April along with the spring update
