I like knowing about the BC games a bit in advance, but it's ekim's occasional leak on Xbox sales that I find most valuable. Having a heads up on what might go on sale can help people plan their purchasing better.
Even a warning on what's likely going BC gives you an opportunity to buy physical 360 games before prices get inflated after the official announcement.
So what these BC leaks are indicative of are nothing to sneeze at. Why turn down a source that might help you be a savvier consumer?

I wouldn't be surprised if either (or both) end up becoming pre-order bonuses eventually. I would think it's pretty safe to assume they'll be BC soonish.

It's because their going to announce something big tomorrow right?
MW3 BC here I come!

Yep capcom BC support has been really sad
AC6 would need to be relisted then, I'm guessing it was pulled for the same reason as Afterburner; licenses.
I want GTA 4 so I can record some "swing of death" videos
That is the game I am most anticipating, really. Playing GTA IV with smooth 30fps would be absolutely great! Would be awesome if they could fix those memory issues with the roads but that is unlikely I guess.

There might be an issue with GTA IV, in that when you install Episodes from Liberty City the Xbox recognizes it as stand alone GTA IV. They would need to work out a fix for both titles.

I guess this has something to do with the deals Capcom struck with Sony.

Must be. Since a lot of the titles we'd like to see as BC are up on PSnow

I could literally twitch stream this all day.

Not sure what to hope for today. Anything from my collection would be nice. Actually - I have UT3 sitting in my 360 games and I'd love to play bot matches on that again on Xbone. Or I could just play the PC version. How about some PGR then?

They do advertise the CAPCOM games a lot for PS NOW..... hm....
I sure hope this isn't the case.
Agreed. I like the suspense. Can't get them any earlier anyway.

I'd rather have the advanced notice so I can get to GameStop before they double the price.
ah see I stopped buying discs 4 years ago. So that doesn't affect me.

Us digital fools pay full MSRP all the time!
*excluding sales obviously, but after a bc announcement future sale prices are far less impressive than before the announcement.
Three of those multidisc games are included with EA Access though, so kind of available digitally. Best value in gaming imo.

Honestly, it's either I pre-order a game or pick one up on sale/price cut. I never pick games at full price anymore unless I'm pre-ordering.
Digital all they way though! (except for the damn multi-disc games that haven't been brough over yet *glares at ME2&3, DS 2&3, FFXIII, and Battlefield 3).
Oh I don't buy at full price. If a game is announced BC and put back to full price, I just don't buy it. If I already bought it on sale, cool. If not, I just wait for a sale. Unless it's my favorite game, I can always wait - there are way too many current games to play.
Two usable licenses though. Works out cheaper for me nearly all the time.

I'm all digital now too, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to be made more cognizant by a harmless heads up, or that I don't want people who do buy discs to have a larger window to buy things more reasonably priced before markups happen.
I don't get what this pushback is, like it's useless. I think people are also forgetting that ekim has given heads up on upcoming sales on the marketplace, which has at least helped me plan my purchasing better.
Do people feel like these biweekly BC announcements are like mini E3s getting spoiled or something? Do y'all object to StoreParser highlighting the weekly sales (I know it's not a 1:1 comparison) before Major Nelson does a post too?

Yup. It's amazing, especially when the game is on super-sale.

This is just about the only remaining thing I own that I really want. Was never able to get around to playing it on 360
