Like the Ps2 does with Ps1 games? I was just wondering if anyone had an idea... (Sorry if this is a repeated post.)
Well, Microsoft keeps saying "Xbox Top Titles" so it doesn't look like it will be fully backwards compatible like the Revolution and PS3 will be. Who knows what MS will pull out though.
The Revo's not exactly gonna be backwards compatible, seeing as it can only take ROMs of the old games. :)
I think the Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible with the original Xbox games.
Oh, I'm mistaken then. Looks like I'll be able to sell my GCN after all.
~master klarth mage 278 xxqx!~
If the 360's going to be able to play select games on the basis that it knows which ones to support, then I'm sure it'll be possible to mod the thing's firmware.
~evil death klarth man~
There was a rumor going around that it will only play Greatest Hits but it would most likely be backwards compatible. But one of the silliest rumors ive heard is that the Sony Psp can hook up to it....
It will be backwards compatible, it's just a few games won't work properly on the normal emulation, so they'll need patches. Eventually all games will work on 360, just at first only most of them will. The hard drive comes preinstalled with some patches anyway.
Honestly We don't know what will be and what won't be. What Microsoft said is that the Better Selling Games will be backwards Compatable.. But there are many Great Sellers. So how to choose? We're not sure and I wish everyone would just stop saying they know this and they know that. I've been working in Game Retailing now as of late which I love my Job ever so much, but we don't really know jack about it.
This whole backwards compatible with only their Platinum Edition series thing just doesn't make sense to me and I personally feel it's a dumb move on the part of Microsoft, if you're going to make backwards compatibility with a console, why not go all the way and make the whole library compatible?
if it dosent play xbox games it will kill many fans. REVOLUTION RULES!!!!
Because he's queer and obviously chooses to show fanboyism. Sure that word doesn't exist who cares? He chooses a Console that we know hardly anything about.
Microsoft is saying the most popular games will be backwards compatible and I saw a picture that supports that, but only time will tell.
It'll be interesting to see. It's kind of dumb that they don't go full backwards compatible but at least they'll have some games.
...I'm willing to bet someone a dollar Halo 2 will be playable on Xbox 360.
Other than that, I am curious to see which games "they" will deem worthy.
Probably mostly Platinum hits with a few other games like Halo 2 and what not will probably come over. but I am not too sure.
Did anyone else see the pictures of the kid with the Xbox 360? Gamespot or someone had recieved pictures from a kid who recieved an Xbox 360 from his step-dad thats working on the Xbox 360. I think that microsoft let the pictures be posted to show that the 360 will be ready by holiday 05.
They've Already Announced it to Come out November Dumb***. Of Course it'll be Ready by Holiday 05.
yes i think so.
Sorry for being kind of a D*che bag.. I admit i'm not the nicest person :-(
Its just that everyones known it should be out for Holiday 05 for almost a year now.
I simply hope it is so i cna play my Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind game
I was reading in a Xbox magazine that the 360 will NOT play xbox games
only the PS3 and Revolution will be backwards compatible
the Revolution will be backwards compatible with the GC directly and every other Nintendo game ever made will be downloadable on the Revolutions Wi-fi service
Some new news from reliable sources Cough cough " microsoft , bungie " Cough cough. Says that the xbox 3670 will be fully backwards compatable for both packages but of course you should buy the priemum cause the hard drive makes up the $100 difference.
Well, that sucks. You have to buy some new equipment just to play your old games?
Trust me, the Premium package is worth it.
Yeah I have mine fully paid off where I work. I can't wait to get a hold of my 360. I'm going to cream myself thinking about it. I didn't put any money down on Games because quite frankly i'm not sure what to get. I can only afford 1 Game for the time being. Of course with the backwards compatibility i'll be able to play my Xbox Favorites like: KOTOR, Halo 1, Halo 2, KOTOR 2, Ninja Gaiden Etc. So I won't be upset if I can only afford 1 360 Game. It'll probably be oblivion which will keep me satisfied for a long time. I mean c'mon did anyone play MorroWind? You want to talk about a Long *** Game, it's MorroWind. There is Months of Gameplay. I hope Oblivion has that lengthy play aswell. Those are the Great Games with the Replay Value plus Long Playtime normally.
I've read in gamepro that the Xbox 360 (the suped up version with wireless controller and better Xbox live) will be backwards compatible while the Xbox Core System (the $299.00 one) will not be able to.
You must have a hardrive for the xbox to be backwards compatible according to xbox magazine. Pro package plus Perfect Dark Zero is a perfect buy.
[quote=BlackOps]Well, that sucks. You have to buy some new equipment just to play your old games?
UH, THE OLD GAMES USED THE HARD DRIVE IN THE XBOX? SO THEY WOULDN'T WORK WITHOUT ONE?
ok, lets just settle on the fact that the XBox 360 will be backwards compatible. the XBox 3****ty (core version) will not
for the games, if you have enough money, go for ESIV:oblivion. i'll just be buying used halo 2
