The Faceless Master said:3 games... the #1 seller, the #2 seller ... and a game thats in what, the top 20?
Blimblim said:Why are you guys surprised? It's already been told a few days ago that so far only Fable, Halo and Halo 2 are certified to be working with Xbox 360.
sonycowboy said:In the US:
1) Halo
2) Halo 2 RE
3) Halo 2 CE
...
10) Fable
Blimblim said:Looks like MS is on time for once. Paper press should get the first kits this week, pro websites should get them within 2 weeks, and lesser people one day maybe...

cyberheater said:I thought the retail units would just have a simple AC plug into the back not a seperate power block?
Not really. They've always said "with the top selling xbox titles".ypo said:As someone had said this is not backwards compatibility. It's at best title specific emulation. This is an outright lie.

Suikoguy said:whoa, if it only plays Halo 1 and 2 and fable outta the box, and require that you need to get internet to the Xbox to play the other ones "Down the road" thats going to be diasterous on launch day for the unsuspecting.
Suikoguy said:I seem to recal both the PS3 and Xbox 360 of using a standard PC power cord?
beermonkey@tehbias said:They also said "Our goal is to have every Xbox game work on Xbox 360". The latest party line certainly seems a step backwards from that.

:lol :lol :lolJohnnyKorea said:Hey, it's JohnnyK from GamePro. OK, first on backwards compatiblity. We tried a bunch of games, both first and third party. Games included Conker: Live and Reloaded, Project Gotham Racing 2, Fable, and Ninja Gaiden Black, just to name a few. With all of those games we got a "this original Xbox game cannot be played. You must download a patch before you can play it." And coincidentally enough, there was no indication on how much those patches would cost.
Unison said:There was also that talk that they were progressing rapidly, saying that each new big hit game they got working would have the benefit of getting several less popular games using the same features of the Xbox 1 to work as well.
JohnnyKorea said:As far as the power supply goes, seriously, start working out now so you can even lift the thing. It's just that big.
Jeff-DSA said:It's time to accept that MS has lied, is lying, and will lie to Xbox consumers. Don't expect that they'll ever come fully clean on anything anymore. All the way back to before the Xbox launch they were saying that they'd fix the controller before launch. Instead they waited until everyone bought 4 fatties and then released the S. They've lied about 360 features, launch details, and BC.
I want my 360 as much as ANYONE ELSE on this forum, but I'm stick and tired of the BS that the likes of Allard and Moore spit out.

But, who knows if this is just because the unit is a debug. Potentially, the retail until could come pre-installed with more patches than those just supporting Halo and Halo 2.

JohnnyKorea said:OK, a pic of the power supply is coming very soon.
In the meantime stay tuned for more. I'll be posting a list of all first party titles that we'll test on the debug, including how the 360 reponds to them.
Seriously, wait until you see it.m0dus said:People bitching about the size of the power supply: only at the Gaf :lol
well that's fine. I'm guessing (just off the top of my head) that all the $19.99 games will work, plus 500,000+ sellers and more well established games.Razoric said:I'm willing to bet your guess is dead wrong.
I'm not picking on you specifically, but what's with this attitude? Since when can't consumers criticize the products they potentially want to buy? I'm not expected to just suck it up and be happy if MS wants me to bring a XBox-sized PSU into my house and fit it somewhere behind my TV. People have every right to bitch. The same thing goes for loading times, poorly designed hardware, and things of that nature.m0dus said:People bitching about the size of the power supply: only at the Gaf :lol
