it'd be cool I guess but how many OG Xbox games would you really play regularly? And most can be played on 360 currently, which you can buy for almost nothing if you sold yours.

Yep, the disc included both of he OG Xbox and 360 versions. Pretty cool.
I love my OG Xbox and the games that never made it to 360, so I would definitely use it often. I still have my OG Xbox hooked up in my living room via component.

Gotta get my Sneak King on
If they didn't make it to 360 then they were never emulated and licensed for that - so I think any that weren't already BC would never be anyway.

The Games on Demand version of GRAW and GRAW2 are region locked ffs, it is not downloadable on my HK console.

Yeah, it's almost completely certain they won't do it but to play Max Payne 1/2, XIII, Black, Vice City, and 30-40 more with achievements would be amazing. I'd just love to have completions for games I adore..oh well
BC works through emulating the original console. OG Xbox didn't have achievements, so these wouldn't either.
What did he say we'd be finding out next week?

he didn't say that at all. Someone asked him when we'll hear about more BC games and he said sometime this week. It wasn't directed at RDR specifically.
Oh
Really want to play the 360 version of RDR. I didn't have a 360 last gen so I had to go with the PS3 version

Went ahead and made an OT in community: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=176072199
Will try and update it as we learn new info. Let me know if I missed anything
Great thread, just wondering why it's in community and not in the main section?

Friday - last day this week. I hope we will get that announcement today.
Yep!
I hope to god it's Mirror's Edge.
Thank you!
Subbed.PS: Rockstar announced Red Dead has sold 14m copies as of today. It would sell many more with BC digital, too.
Great game. Really fun. Also some good parody of dudebro games

Bulletstorm is an A+ game, everyone should play it. Fantastic game, gorgeous, and legitimately funny.
I'd guess the news will come at 9am PDT.

A fan asks when we can expect news on the next batch of BC games and Phil says this week.

sigh
no, he says to expect some news about it this week, not that we'll get more games this week.

Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed

Always buy 360 GoD on console to prevent that (it doesn't let you buy locked games). I wish all that bullshit would go away but there's quite a lot of it on earlier games. Sucks.
ALL GEO-BLOCKING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL EVERYWHERE
I don't understand - the GRAW games aren't BC, why is this post here?

Well, when the head of the division says it (in the way that he did) it seems like something you should set your expectations on, unless you believe he's out to mislead people (conspiracy theorists/Phil Spencer haters need not apply).

Just don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. That's all. If you want to build it up, feel free, just...expect disappointment.

I thought he deserved a real answer even though it was a bit OT. He probably bought them because of the potential for bc.

Not sure, I just thought that's where I needed to make it
. I think the mods eventually move topics like that there anyways (see Xbox One Download Game OT)Both GRAW game box arts can be seen during the Gamescom sizzle reel for BC

@kevcampbell I apologize. Looks like BC news is delayed and will likely come next week. Again, sorry for the delay.

I just got a Shadow Complex update. I haven't turned on my XB1 in a few days, so I'm not sure how new (or old) this is. Anyone know what it's for?
Edit - Hmmmm, the installation isn't completing successfully.

Pretty sure it's new. Like the other updates we've seen on these games, I don't think it does much outside of reducing the reserved storage space from 256MB to 10MB and seemingly unnoticeable under-the-hood changes to the virtual machine software. Geometry Wars has an update too.
Gears comes out next week, right? I'm assuming the announcement will coincide with the release. Gears 2 and 3 will be a part of it methinks.

Anything released while in preview is a plus for me. They've put out a few games to test, and have said what to expect when they open the flood gates.
This is probably them announcing Gears 2/3/Judgement to be made available before Gears Ultimate drops, and along with a few other games maybe. Hopefully some fan favorites that are leading the votes.
I'm also hoping that next week (last week of the month) we hear about the new dashboard for Preview members. I believe a guy working on the platform team said they were aiming to release that to Preview in September.
