Yeah that would be cool. Right now I am thinking I will go pick up some 360 games that are confirmed, or buy digitally on my 360 that is still working, hopefully. This would make it easier.
Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

seems like a good idea
would it be too snarky to ask for a bc version of the Sky player?

Interesting, thanks.
That sounds OK. I just hope it works better than the 360s backwards compatibility. My original Xbox copy of Mercenaries always crashed whenever I tried to play it, and that was a supported title.

Probably wouldn't do that until the feature is more fully fleshed out.
Then again, they may have enough inventory to stop manufacturing fairly soon.

It works perfectly in my testing. No difference other than load time improvements here and there. If you didn't tell anyone, aside from the controller, they'd think they were playing the game on a 360 - Guide overlay and all (which is accessed by pressing "start+select"). Everything the game supports on 360 is supported here.
It's technically not even cross-platform play. You're still running the 360 version of the game with the 360 version of Live when you're playing this.

Source? I know they've already shown Borderlands working in the Major Nelson video, but I haven't seen anything official stating these games are coming in a "next batch".

Those were on the promotional materials. People are just assuming they are next. I think we can guess they are coming next, though.

This feels like a stupid question, but I can't quite figure it out...When playing a 360 game, how does one get the 360 guide to come up? The guide button basically is the home button on Xbox One, so it doesn't do anything when in a 360 game. Just wondering if anyone else has figured that out.
Also if you're playing a 360 game, does one use parties from the 360 guide? Or would you use the Parties app on Xbox One? I actually haven't tried that yet (because I don't know how to get to the 360 guide), so I'm wondering how that all works.

Press start and select at same time
Grrrrr
So Meat Boy works (but my cloud save doesn't
and Mass Effect worked.
But no matter what, Perfect Dark doesn't recognize it. I even booted it up and updated it on the 360 this morning. Put my save into the cloud and everything.
Anyone else have this "Bundle Only" thing and solve t?
Also anyone here have Banjo yet so I can add you and download it?

People have seen small loading speed / pop in reduction in mass effect
The greatly increased memory might have a slight effect, but i doubt there will be much improvement.

So when this hits later this year the best way to go is to gamefly and just start amassing a huge collection right?
I really am curious how much better the texture pop in will be for Gears of War which was NOTORIOUS for it
Think of it as an Xbox 360 that handles games like an Xbox One. You either need the disc, or need the license on your gamertag... but every game is installed.

We got that list yesterday saying it was to be released last night.....severely disappointed. Are your sources reliable? And any timeframe?

Give me gears 3 first its one of the main games I still boot up my xbox 360 for.

One more question: Is this available right now to all xbox owners? Or just preview folks? If its not available yet is there a date when this feature will roll out?
It does work. I just did it with Viva Piñata. You have to own the game or it will just show "Bundle Only"

People with the ability to play a 360 game currently, what happens if you bring up the guide and press Y to go to the dashboard?

This is like the third time someone has said this, and so far nothing.
MrGreencastle

In terms of functionality I would say yes. What's left is Microsoft getting a very large library of BC enabled games going - publisher willing.
Well... it's not like there was an accessible in game OS on any console before the 360
Its a stripped down version of the guide so it doesn't have that.
Yep the option is changed to leave game instead of dashboard.

Man, if Reach is released soon, I'll call in sick to work. My favorite Halo, other people's opinions be damned.

Man it felt good playing Mass Effect on the big screen again. Since I bought the trilogy pack, really hope ME 2 & 3 will be playing in the future.

Technically only preview members with the full release some time this Fall, but there has been a workaround found for those who don't have the preview apparently on the last few pages.

Also, anyone here ayes Banjo Kazooie or Tooie recently so I can follow them?
I have not sure how it all works but I have loaded up both games on my xbox one.
Not necessarily...I get that for Perfect Dark and I own it (i just tested it on my 360).
I think this 'solution' is still not 100% operational.
Once Reach and Halo Wars get on there, it'll be the first time ever we will be able to play every console Halo game on one system.

That's what I presumed, would be silly otherwise.

Thank You!

It isn't. Still in preview. There are kinks to be worked out before final.
Basically if you have a person you're following that has played 360 games you can view the store page from their profile.
What's your GT?

Got it. Thanks again.
Going to try following you and see if BK shows up!

I think it's awesome that 360 games have Game Hubs in the Xbox One UI. Really cool.

I own Hexic HD and Perfect Dark. I see "Bundle Only" for both. I'll just wait until my X1 has been registered for Preview.
Yep, which leads me to believe we will be seeing the Store overhauled with a 360 section added.

They even have Store pages for 360 games already set up. You can Pin, Rate, view description, see who's streaming that game on Twitch, view some screenshots, and the dev info, too. Also, when you're watching someone stream the game in the Twitch app, if you own the game, you can click Play from within the app and it takes you to the game
It's perfectly integrated as if it were always there.
Are you 100% certain that the gamertag you're using is the one that owned the game on the 360? Does it say you own it on xbox.com?
How do you tell if you own the games? Just wanting to see what i have...
