They did it so they could sell more games on the 360 marketplace. Still good for 360 owners though.

my 60GB plays em

u can still get 60GB if you hurry

After the next update, I'll have just one original Xbox game that won't play on my 360: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.

Also, am I the only one who thinks that the Xbox Classics are overpriced? I mean, it's supposed to be $15 per title, right? Well, you can buy Halo and Fable for ten bucks each...why would you pay more to DL them?

$5-10 each would be a reasonable price.

You can still buy a PS2 to play PS2 games, can you buy an xbox now? oh no microsoft killed that POS ofrcing people to buy another POS system with no games.

though im glad i bought my PS3 at luanch and Sony listen to their fans now i can play PS2 games in HD in my launch PS3.

can the xbug 360 play xbox games in HD? not that theres any good games on the xbug anyways.

How bout make it more RELIABLE

I bought my PS3 to play next generation games not Ps2 games. It's obvious that most of the PS3 owners allready have a PS2 right next to their brand new and shiny PS3. Playstation took out the BC in order to get the cheap bast@rds (Sh@tbox) owners to pony up and buy their console.

second, i gurantee you sony will add BC to the 40 gig this march when they cut the price again, they just needed to take it out this christmas so they could get software sales(which is smart) dumbasses writing these articles are the same people that said sony is doomed when they had denied the 40gigs and tokyogameshow.

ALL OF A SUDDEN sony introduced the 40 gigs but just because people dont know every freakin thing, they cry like little bit*hes.
and i cant believe he would compare the xboxs BC to the ps3's.

sony said the 40 gig is the future and i know there gonna add BC games to it, espicially with ps2's lifespan almost up and all those great games that could still be played

dude, seriously do not act like you are the spokesperson for xbox owners this gen or any gen.............

you totally fail at it. >-O

i still play tons of xbox games, from the classic panzer dragoon orta, to grand theft auto san andreas.

i play chronicles of riddick, burnout, star wars battlefront, castlevania, indigo prophecy, splinter cell (1 &2) plus ninja gaiden, guilty gear x2 reload, freakin' mortal kombat and return to castle wolfenstein.............

not to mention all sorts of other games like star wars knights of the old republic 1 and 2, fable lost chapters, all the morrowind game of the year editions, outrun 2, madden 2006, outlaw golf 2, otogi 2: myths of demons, dungeon & dragons heroes, not to mention the likes of fatal frame 2, ghost recon island thunder, "true crime streets of LA 2", star wars: republic commando, lego star wars: complete saga, jade empire, brute force, halo 2 and halo 1, plus rainbow six: black arrow 1 and 2.............

not to mention other games like, psychonauts, oddworld strangers wrath, dead or alive ultimate, half life 2, doom 3, street fighter collection, megaman anniversary, forza motorsport, prince of persia, soul calibur 2 and pro evolution soccer 4, max payne 2, brothers in arms: road to hell, crimson skies: high road to revenge, mechassault 2, phantom crash, midnight club 2 and far cry instincts, hitman 2 and 3, lord of the rings: battle for the king, unreal championship, call of duty 3 and freedom fighters, tomb raider: legends, kingdom under fire: crusades, mechassault, battlefield 2 modern combat, armed & dangerous and project snowblind.....

SOME of those games are on ps2 also and guess what, the ports suck with framerate trouble so I prefer them ONLY on xbox....

i dont know what the hell u are smoking man, but we xbox owners want all those damn games to be backwards compatible and soon!!!!

especially guilty gear, street fighter collection, brothers in arms, rainbow six black arrow, and freaking star wars battlefront + mechassault 2 and midnight club 2!!!!!!!!

unlike you fool'z we play our games and we want those games backwards compat' period.

i think i have two or three exclusive games for ps2 and i dont buy any of the inferior ports...........i got them all on xbox, and we the 360 crowd want every damn game to be backwards compatible that we can get period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no excuses, so take a hike brian you are in the minority....
/_\

on topic, I want to see as many xbox 1 games become backwards compatible as freakin' possible.........im still waiting on guilty gear, mechassault 2, true crimes, rainbow six ba and specter, castlevania and a bunch of other ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are TOOOOOOO many good xbox games to not have full backwards compatibility, period. no excuses anywhere!!!!

put out starwars battlefront then alot of us will stop complaints and for gods sake ppl who want to can sell their xbox away...........never me thoug, i'll keep it.

bc is as important this gen as ever, BURNOUT & RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of its games should be backwards compatible with Xbox.

Do you ever think while you are 2 hours deep into playing online while your 360 is just buzzing louder an louder. "Damn my 360 might die any minute" Well get a PS3 and stop worrying. There are some awesome deals going on right now that are way better than the trash that Microsoft is puting out there. So get in line boys and join the party. It's ok, I'll wait until you finish Mass Effect but will your 360 hold up until then? Maybe not.

To those complaining about buying a 60bg ps3 if you want BC, you do realise they are gonna kill that model off soon.

this is obviously getting ready for the 4th December Update :D

I still play (or want to play) my old games. When my fiance comes over I want to put in an addicting game like Mad Dash, Midtown Madness, or Star Wars Clone Wars and play with her.
