"This month" July or is he talking about the month of August?

I'd assume he means for the August update, which preview members should get.. in July.
Apologies if this has been answered before...
Question: Assuming further optimizations are coming to the X360 emulator, and since this emulator is a wrapper for each backwards compatible game instead of being it's own application... Does this mean that each time they optimize the emulator, every single one of your backwards compatible games will have to re-download itself in its entirety?
Assuming you have a bunch of backwards compatible games installed, that could be a sizeable chunk of data to download.... And if so, my condolences for people with data caps.

If you go to manage game on one of the BC games there is 256mb of reserved space for saves that shows up as a tile on the side like DLC would for Xbox One games. It might just update that though I'm not entirely sure.

Probably. To be honest, people with data caps should probably avoid being in the preview program in the first place due to issues like this and the frequent system updates. If I had data caps and was in the program I'd be super selective about which BC games I decided to test.
Really impressed with this, signed back up to the preview a few days ago purely because of this. My membership is still showing as "Pending" but just signed in to find that my360 games were waiting to be downloaded. Had a quick go on Banjo-Kazooie and it works pretty much spot on.
Can't see myself using it often but it's nice to have it for the two Banjo-Kazooie games.

Kotaku reached out to the bigger 3rd parties about what games are coming. A lot of no comments or something we are looking into

Maybe Microsoft really surprised them with the announcement.

I read this as "we aren't going to talk about this before our planned marketing timeline allows us to."

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Ed Boon has at least confirmed Injustice and MK 2011, which implies that WB is on board as a whole. I would at least expect their bigger games like the Batman games. Bethesda is obviously on board, and EA and Ubisoft seem to be as well.
Anyway, The Fable Trilogy is for sale on XBL. That's most likely gonna be BC, at some point, surely?

Pretty much. I don't see why they'd tell Patrick anything before announcing it themselves.

You can take screenshots in the Gears Beta
Yea but they're hidden. I can't find any of the ones I took.
Also gears 3 better come with the dlc
That article is pretty much a big bunch of nothing. The companies will naturally want to announce this themselves and not announce it in a big article in Kotaku, so naturally you're gonna get mostly non-answers. Doesn't mean much imo.
Hopefully no one goes like "$5 for the BC job"
Got you when I get homeThis is the coolest damn thing! If someone wants to be a giant friend and invite me to the preview program my gt is Pizza Prez
Can't wait to replay battleblock theatre!

Why would Gears 3 come with the DLC? Have any other GwG come with DLC?

Looool.
I feel like you've missed the point of Games With Gold... the idea is to give you the base game, then get you to buy the seasons pass, it might even go on offer but no, given that there is no "GOTY Edition" (afaik) of Gears 3 it will just be the base game.
Enjoy!

16th, I think. That's the usual changeover date.

I wonder if FO3 will be in a soon to be arriving batch myself. Kinda odd they sent out the FO3 codes so soon...
I was just about to post this. I really want to play NG2 on the One.

I just 100 percented banjo Kazooie through back compat and I started a new game in Mass Effect, I love this feature!
Me too, loved it back in the day.
I thought the emulator was in a system update, and the games were larger due to wrapping them so that the X1 thinks they are X1 games and will play them? I don't know why they would need an update per game.
They aren't hidden.

There's a link to all the ones I took.
And here's one of the shots you took.
uh, not going to. None of the GWG do, and that's by design so you'll buy the DLC. It'll probably be onsale, especially the season pass.
This is probably going to be obvious but i'm somehow missing it. While playing a 360 game, how do I get the 360 dash up? I've updated the controllers but using the Xbox button either takes me back to the One dashboard (tap) or the power off screen (hold).
EDIT:
Nevermind, managed to find instructions in this thread. Hold Menu & View to bring it up.

Thanks, just found it as you were posting.
Sorry if this has been covered already but I have Microsoft said anything about region locked 360 games yet? I have a UK 360 and have all the UK Cave releases as well as the games from other regions that aren't region locked but I'm wondering if this would allow people like me to buy and play the import games that are region locked on the 360?
Guess I am confused why they even need publishers approval if they are running it on a virtual 360. Guess maybe it has to do with the store or a courtesy to them but I think we are going to be frustrated with the cherry picking of games publishers are willing to put up for this.
Either way.. with a massive library of 360 games I am eager to have more pop up and I am a little let down they have not already trickled these out weekly.

One reason I can think of, is they are enabling a number of xbox one features that were not covered by the Xbox 360 publishers agreement, like streaming.

Probably a contractual issue. "You said you would sell it only here, not here AND here." that sort of thing.
And I can see where some pubs may not want people to be able to play them, ala Dark Souls 2 - because if you're remastering it, you MIGHT be losing sales.

Subete no aware
They haven't been clear if it's some kind of licensing issue or what. The fact that requires you to download some or all of a game in order to play it might be part of it too.
The only other precedent set with this stuff was the PSP to Vita compatability, where not all games made it over. Since previously all BC was based solely on having and using the physical media, I guess there were no concerns.

I mean that the game comes with the dlc I already bought. My ME dlc is still missing
