@onemanarmyasd: I stand by my comment. I once e-mailed Phil, he had no obligation to reply, yet he did and gave me some nice advice too. Of course, I do not know what kind of interactions you have had with Phil, your experience may be totally different from mine.
Phil Spencer is such a nice person, I really like his approach. He is a very level headed guy, I hope he and his team continue to do outstanding work for us gamers.
Even if I don't really use the backward compatibility often, I still like to know that I have the option to play some of my old games if I feel like and to me that is a huge win.
The current state of gaming saddens me. I am ok with F2P games having micro-transactions and being a grind fest but paying 60 dollars and then having micro-transactions or a grind fest if you do not want to pay is a bit too much for me. We need to return to the simpler days in gaming.
I think it will be priced at 500 USD and come with a standard controller maybe you will be able to buy a version that is 600 USD but comes with an elite controller.
