Why? Can't you just copy or move your local save to the cloud like nearly every other game?

After five years, Microsoft can finally say the consumer response to Kinect has been positive.
The kids and I have fun with it. I can't be shooting dudes in the face when they're around. Plus it gets them off the couch.

What does a Bejeweled saved game even save?High scores?
Cool.
I think I'm still going to be stuck on a Gymkhana section though
Here's the direct link to the free Dirt 3 VIP pass (think season pass) http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/VIP-Pass/728d4149-ef60-4920-aa76-925b68c7a441?nosplash=1

Plays good due to better response time, comes free in a lot of Kinect bundles too, but you need to pay for additional songs I think.

Dance Central on XOne is good, there is a lot of content on demand and the base game is cheap, I think it's a good business model. I'm not sure if they're still adding new songs though, which is a shame.
I'd love BC for kinect games too, they're the ones that would benefit the most from running on X1 (better tracking, wider field of view...), but I can see how it could be difficult since the new sensor is lacking all the tilt features of the old one.

If I remember correctly I think it's their version of the online pass. Probably why they made it free.
You can get it for £2.99 here (I got it when it was a pound!)

Only comes with 10 songs, but you can buy DLC.

Looks like the Defense Grid DLC is available in the store front, but says "bundle only"
Defense Grid has a 567mb update which I'm guessing is adding in the map packs.
However, I think they mislabeled it, because one is called Map Pack 1, but upon clicking itit is the "You Monster" DLC
Similarly, Map Pack 3, upon clicking it is really "Map Pack 4"
Map Packs 1,2,3 not showing up yet
I never owned any of the DLC though so if someone else can investigate...(?)
Good signs though!

I have to say, its a feature i didnt think i wanted but having it now might make me go back to some older games.

Really wish there was news on catherine. kills me that it's on sales this week but we won't have a list until after the sale ends.

I am looking forward to playing Castlevania. I got it on the sale yonks ago played for a bit and then moved on.
Hopefully the save is on the cloud.
Arcade games seem weird to me as it looks like they keep the save in the game file itself?
*edit*
To Jawmuncher.
I am in the same boat with regards to all the mass effect dlc.
I really want to round off ME2 as I only had 2 dlcs and buy omega for ME3.
I Probably should just buy them any way but.. I dunno

Very interested in Symphony of the Night if that screenshot is correct. Decades later and I still have never truly played it.
They've already said Kinect games on 360 is basically impossible, so no-go.

Just added Shadowrun...not sure why I never had it on the list, but it's been appearing on the xbox.com image since forever ago
Mass Effect is already BC, I don't see why ME2 & 3 wouldn't be. I'd consider those relatively safe purchases for BC eligibility

Yep, I think that's where that last bit about "If you already have a VIP pass code" comes from.

My brother is excited for the backwards compatibility but he doesn't have any 360 games anymore. So I don't know why he would be excited. I really don't care for backwards compatibility. I had a big collection of ps2 games and a backwards compatible PS3. I probably only used the feature like once or twice.

I hope your right. I have only been through the ME series once and loved it.
I think my memory might have failed enough to go through it again.
However, if they are not BC...

If I recall correctly ME3 was one of the worst implementations of two discs on 360. Most major quests were on one disc while the other had more sidequests - you had to switch depending on what mission you selected from the map.
Dirt 3 is free as well.
Oh man, you're right. If they do figure out 2-disc games and all that, I hope there's a simple "install all" option and the game can run off a single disc rather than having to swap.
There's also that, too. Games that aren't available digitally may slow its chances of being up for BC, unless it's demanded in a big way and/or high on that compatibility vote list. I'm curious about games like Arkham Origins, where it's technically on a single disc and the multiplayer is on disc two. It also isn't available digitally, so I'm wondering what the case is for that one.

My vote goes to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
The Xbox One is my first Xbox, I don't have a gaming PC, and I just finished The Witcher 3 and loved it. Would love the chance to try Witcher 2 on the One.
That's a pretty specific circumstance though so that might not be a popular game to bring to BC. Honestly, can't think of much else I'd want to use BC for.
EDIT: I just realized this might run into the "2-disc games are a no go" issue as well. I suspect this game spanned more than a single DVD.

Saved four games I didn't finish on 360 so this is excellent news. BC a convenient need

Witcher 2 originally launched on two discs but was eventually re-released as a single disc game a while later. It is also available digitally.
I would imagine that for the 2 disc version of Witcher 2 would just download that single disc file with disc 1 of that set.

Oh crap I actually forgot about the two disc thing :/

Curses my paragon approach to everything!
*waits for RT(or LT--the good one) to flash*
Plus The Witcher 2 was a Games with Gold game, which might (or might not?) potentially help its chances of becoming BC.

Wow I have played SotN on some many different platforms now. I really do hope they add it to the BC list. I am ready to play through it again.

If it becomes backwards compatible you can always buy it directly from xbox.com then it will show up under games & apps on the xbox one.
