Hey there, Xbox fans old and new. Today we're updating the back compat list with three of the most requested games and updates to existing back-compat games.
* New games on the list: BLACK ; Star wars Battlefront II ; World Soccer Winning Eleven 9
* Updated games: Darkwatch ; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ; Half-Life 2 ; Fable ; Fable: The Lost Chapters ; Forza Motorsport ; Ninja Gaiden ; Ninja Gaiden Black ; SSX 3 ; Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory ; kill.switch ; World Series Baseball 2K3

The new updates are available on Xbox Live and on Xbox.com, with mail-order discs coming about two weeks later. And the team is by no means done - they'll continue to work on the most requested games, so stay tuned for more.

They make it sound like it's an extra or a surprise bonus that they're not done. We don't expect them to be. There are many games that still aren't backwards compatible. I don't know, I just think 3 new games is a pretty weak update.

Hopefully they fixed the frame rate issues with Forza....

LOL, this is what makes me hate MS more by the day..

First they ruch the 360 out... then act like its (like said above) an extra bonus that they decided to keep it updated and make it work with all games.
Funny that PS2 never had this problem with PS1 games..

Anyway.. keep up the crappy work MS.. if it wasnt for you, the hackers of america wouldnt have programs and consoles with security holes the size of texas

Yeah, when I saw this on the RSS I was expecting something I actually had.. 3 games, thats like nothing. I am seriously hoping that they add Counter-Strike, and both the Unreal Championships, because those are a few of the games I still have left. Now I can't play Counter-Strike on live, because they haven't added them yet, but thank god I can still play Barbie Horse Adventures!!

Umm what about Rallisport 2. I believe that game was requested quite a bit.

G-D What a fucking idiot! MS only had trouble with the compatibility because they went from crappy Nvidia to ATI. It is commendable what MS is doing, in fact it is 50 times more than what DRM-Sony would ever do. Let me put it like this: Sony can emulate DIRECTLY from the hardware where as MS need to EMULATE the hardware of the origional Xbox in order to play these games. These guys who are doing the compatibility are real trouppers, who work hard at making these titles availible. And backwards compatibility is a BONUS because you dont remeber the days of pre-playstation, we had to use our old console to play our old games.

Never mind him

Now I does anyone know if this program might be a trogan horse with really a firmware update on it so you wont be able to do the Xecuter hack? Please, I am at work so if sum1 could open the file up in a hex editor and see if it makes any changes to anything other than the dashboard or harddrive.

don't expect it to see that one for a while. RalliSpot 3 is already in developement.

secondly, I have to agree with the poster there, xbox360 was definitely rushed, I had 2 bad units but the 4thones I have is working pretty smoothly

(ps I sold the 3rd one from MS)

One thing that I still hesitate about is the BC, my 360 was working fine till I poped in splinter cell and that just scared me, I am not going to play anymore xbox games on my 360....

Sony: Hardware emulation

Trojans on and Xbox 360??

ROFL!!!!!

I WANT MY XBOX 720!!!!!!

Xbox 720:

CPU: 10.0 Ghz Power PC with 9 cores

GPU: GeForce 24000 Ultra 5 Ghz GPU 10 GB video RAM 256 pixel pipelines

RAM: 20 GB

Disc Drive: Blu-Ray (12 layers), UMD, HD-DVD (20 layers), DVD9, CD, VHS(LMAO)

Xbox Live Premium (You can download HD movies, and FULL GAMES)

HDD: 5000 GB or 5 TeraBytes At 45,000 RPM

if xbox360 had ATI's GPU they still had to use emulator because XENOS has different architecture than the old xbox video card....

bottom line is that I am still not satisfied with the BC and since my xbox died after Splinter Cell, chances are my 360 is only going to eat xbox360 games.

A trojan is not always a millicious code. It can be hidding a function in the backround (such as the update) while packing it in with another fuction (such as the firmware update with the bc)
