Not at all, besides taking up more space physically, it also takes up an hdmi port. More space, less clutter.
Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility
- Thread starter Mugatu
- Start date
I think he means the game recording and screenshot stuff.

I'm not sure if they've said it outright, but it seems like a no-brainer, especially since the downloadable 360 games with gold are guaranteed to be BC going forward. Why have free digital BC games and not offer the paid versions?

Hasn't it always been "Xbox Show Guide"? Granted, I'm not in the preview, but maybe try that.
The NXE dash even has a section on how to use 360 games - including buying them. So it's coming.
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. I think it would be beneficial for them to make much of the 360 catalog available for purchase.
So there will be a section on the marketplace for 360 BC games?
I have no idea. But the minute they put big 'Skyrim' and 'Red Dead Redemption' icons on the dashboard, they will get a fuck load of cash.
They will definitely give the 360 a section on the XB1 marketplace. There was a FAQ that was quickly took down that said they will but not at launch (this same FAQ said release was October, so who knows if this is still the case).
Black Friday sales are going to be glorious with BC. Especially since it's the 360's 10th year anniversary just a few days before it, gonna be some massive sales
. All this on top of Halo 5, Battlefront, Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, Need for Speed....... wallet am cry.

I hope
That could be my problem, I'll try it out.
Me too. It should be. I fired up RDR on my 360 the other day to see if the online mode still has population, and amazingly it does. I was able to get full 16 player games without any problem.

Personally I would be surprised if it wasn't. Cracking game and they are more than aware how many people want it. Fingers crossed.
We hope ... because there is too much would silently

Every time I see this thread bumped, I pray that Halo:Reach is available.

I feel you.
I'm anxious to play it again. Hopefully they get the NXE fixed up quick.

you would know because there would be like 5 threads in Gaming letting you know it happened.
preach it.
Agreed I don't get why they have to be so secretive about it. I guess I shouldn't really be impatient either, but it'd be nice to have an idea of what games are going to be BC.

I really can't wait for this and NXE, I hope we get a date for both soon and a full list of BC games!

I received my Fallout 3 code today. Thought maybe the game had been added to the preview OS, but no dice.
You're supposed to get the code messaged a few weeks after ordering from memory. I got mine months ago!

I see. Didn't realize they were sending them out that early.
Yep...everytime it bumps i'm like finally
They are definitely keeping the games until the final launch...perhaps they have gotten their emulator there and don't need anymore testing
Phil tweeted a month ago that they're holding a majority of the titles until November launch (with new dash). So we're realistically a month or so away. My prediction is they aim for Black Friday, and put the 360 games on sale via the digital store.

Seriously? I'll need to check my mail
Yes. From the store page:
"For a limited time, pre-order Fallout 4 for Xbox One and receive Fallout 3 on Xbox 360. The code for Fallout 3 will be delivered to your Xbox message center in 7-10 days. Redeem your code on Xbox.com or on your Xbox 360. "

It's still here on their main backwards compatibility page & Rainbow Six Siege's page: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility & http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/rainbow-six-siege
Interesting! It's absent from the actual store page here: https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-O...RE-ORDER/5a2f7fe2-7b60-44db-a261-33179eadd961
Interesting, in the www.xbox.com link you provided it says it is Backwards Compatible and doesn't give a timeframe and no qualifiers - so I'm surprised they're sending out codes without BC being available.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I'd venture to guess that those are very likely to come though. MS owns them.

Yep, particularly as they do not have a Fable RPG on the horizon, makes a lot of sense

Why did all of my Rare 360 BC games disappear from my games list? They're not in either installed or ready to be installed.
Are you part of the New Experience dashboard preview?
Since I got the NXOE preview, not one of my digitally owned Xbox 360 titles on the BC list has ever shown on my ready to install list.
Includes Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Shadow Complex, Gears of War.Diablohead

would they really put halo 4 in the first wave of BC when the MCC is out there? dunno.
Is Gears 1 is anything to go by, yes they would?
