x360 Backwards compatible list comming today? (site relaunch)

Jesus, Microsoft. How about actually translating the text before posting it live, instead of showing the world that you don't know how to speak their language, by putting "???????" all over the place.

So quick to bash. And yet you only make yourself look foolish by not spending the 3 seconds to think it could be the person's language settings and actually check the site yourself.

edit: seems I was too slow to bash :(
 
I think 100 titles backwards compatible at launch would be awesome. I'm sort of on the fence about getting a 360 on Day One, after initially being really excited. No real fault of Microsoft's, just that I realize I have plenty of current gen games still to play and I don't really NEED a new system.

Still, a good amount of BC titles would go a long way to push me into taking the plunge.

No, actually when the language pack is not installed, it defaults to the Western ISO charset and attempts to render based on those character indexes, creating shit like empty boxes and the function symbol to appear. I've never seen the "??????" shit before in my life, and believe me I've worked with odd charsets in IE, in my former life as a web dev.

The dude could be using Firefox, which prolly does things differently, but I just assume that nobody does, since non-IE browsers are gay. :)

According to our good friend BlimBlim...



Supposedly, Microsoft is supposed to release a list of about 100 games that will be backwards compatible on day one (through patches stored on HD)
Remember though this is what I've been told a few weeks ago (IIRC at was at TGS), so plans could have changed since then. I sure hope not though, it's time we got this information !

Agreed. I see only the boxes which mean character set missing i see no ?????, mnust be the browser.. do u really think microsoft would bother to put up a translation with ???s in it? Come on, use your brains.
 
What the fuck is everyone's problem?

Jesus, can't poke fun at Firefox, can't poke fun at MS! Surrounded by tards, am I.

It's pretty obvious I've admitted that it was the charset and not MS. If you're expecting me to grovel and say "sorry, OMG I was so mistaken," well, I won't. Not my style.

Anyway, I wouldn't have been surprised if MS had forgotten to translate something before posting to an "internationally-friendly" site, because working in content publishing here, I'm familiar with our globalization process and how it has failed us in the past. Anyone honestly trying to flame me based on the inference I made is really grasping for some internet superiority. My advice: try getting laid, instead.

Enough about the fucking charsets. Further posts about it will result in me PM-ing you with a picture of me fucking your mom.

I was joking, and you should probably be banned for that little gem.
 
Blim Blim is OR2 on the list?
