Thus far my only major complaint with BC is that not all the games are sold digitally. Both Bethesda and EA seems to get along well with MS recently, why can't I buy Rage, Doom 3 BFG Edition, and Mass Effect 2/3 digitally?

I believe any multi disc game for 360 has yet to go digital and that is what the roadblock is
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1315698some retail Xbox 360 games that are BC on Xbox One now have either a sticker that says "playable on xbox one" or a full on Xbox One style case with double branding.
Well Doom 3, Rage, and Mass Effect 2 and 3 are all multi-disc games. In order to offer them as BC, they had to be packaged together into a single download. You put in one disc and it downloads the whole thing. You can even get Mass Effect 2 and 3 fully digital as part of EA Access, you just can't buy them on their own. I'm far from an expert, but it seems like for those games, most of the work is done, and they would just have to decide to let people buy them.
Because EA Access is your license that's all it needs to check for.
Since you can't buy it digital yet, you can't play it digitally because you don't actually have a license. Why isn't it for sale yet? I have to assume they're running into issues getting it up and running on an actual xbox 360. Remember the emulator is removing the need for multiple discs, I'm guessing they will push out an update to the xbox 360 OS to handle it the same way the emulator does before they put the games up for sale.
I guess technically they should be able to put it up for XB1 only but then they might run into licensing issues (having 2 licenses for the same game) when they do eventually make it available on the 360 - which they will so it can go on GWG etc.
(Note that I'm just guessing and have no idea why it's not, but it makes a little sense to me, at least)
I just posted these photos on Twitter, and judging from my phone no one else has seen these? Seem to be Walmart exclusive or test for some reason:

How is it blurring the lines? It is a clear fact that the game will play on the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One.Wow that's absolutely crazy. Not sure how I feel about blurring the line like that.

But... if it was a native Xbox One game, it wouldn't run on Xbox 360...I saw some people on Twitter saying it was dishonest because people might think it's an XB1-native game. I think that is a reach. My argument is that if you are the type of customer who is going to give a shit whether the game runs in 720p or 900p, you'll damn well already know that Fallout 3 is an Xbox 360 title.

Those people are just looking for something to be pissed by.
is the main game online co-op?
I don't really see that. It works on both consoles, why not advertise that? Plus it says on the front cover you would need to download it on Xbox One. I honestly don't get the concern?Wow that's absolutely crazy. Not sure how I feel about blurring the line like that.

It's the XB1 packaging of a 360 game that bugs me. I'd be disappointed expecting a native XB1 game only to find out it's an emulated 360 title.
It'd be worse if it was a 360 title I already owned, and was excited to buy a better version for the XB1. I think it's confusing for consumers.

How the hell is this blurring the line. It works on both consoles - just as advertised. Heck, I think they even put a disclaimer on the front cover.Wow that's absolutely crazy. Not sure how I feel about blurring the line like that.
I was expecting more of them this year to be honest :/If Microsoft doesn't do Xbox BC with Xbox One, I hope they announce some sort of Xbox Collection at E3 ala Rare Replay or Halo MCC.
Ninja Gaiden, JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi all on one disc with achievements, frame rate improvements etc.

These look very nice. I hope other BC games will follow, would definitely pick up Red Dead retail at that price point.

hope, hope we see more of these, this can replace the garbage games we find at walgreens/gas stations during the holidays with legit great games.
Why you buying games at a gas station?
it doesn't play in your Xbox one if it's not connected to the internet
Hence the fineprint statement beside the ESRB Rating on the front cover.it doesn't play in your Xbox one if it's not connected to the internet
Tomorrow's the day lads, tomorrow we finally get Fable Anniversary.
Haven't played it on BC yet, what needed fixing?Mirrors Edge has finally been fixed! So happy
The sky and other textures in the game were constantly flashing/flickering, and there was some pretty bad black crush. It's covered in Digital Foundry'a video here.Haven't played it on BC yet, what needed fixing?

Doom 3 is actually just on one disc.
Though, I guess the problem with Doom is that it's a compilation. Have any other compilation discs been sold as one title on Xbox's storefront?

My guess is games with more than one disc aren't packaged as GOD packages at all and are just the raw game files ran in the Xbox One emulator preventing them from working as 360 digital releases.On X1? Borderlands Collection is one title and downloads both BL2 and Pre-Sequel.
On X360? Fable had a trilogy on XBL for a limited time, which was basically a launcher that would let you download the three games separately. Black Ops 3 is probably the same considering it includes the first Black Ops for free.
Which makes me think, why are they not selling the games as one launcher that lets you download the separate discs as separate downloads? Like a "Mass Effect 2 Package" and "Lost Odyssey Package".
Spencer said there was more work to be done of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey to make them available digitally...whatever that entails is unknown
They were never available before so any licensing issues that were agreed on with the developers and themselves would need to be renegotiated to accommodate that.
