    I can't help but feel bitterly disappointed by this. Feels like a whole load of hype for nothing. Witcher 2 has been confirmed 'at some point' like the bioshock games..

    Happy about Splosion Man (for 'classic game' reasons), Deus Ex HR (because I never got the chance to play this) and Motocross Madness (as it was one of the last 360 games I was playing), but the list just feels short and lacking...

Is there a problem today?Service issues out the freaking butthole. I couldn't even play my owned games. It'd open and then immediately close it. Not the update.This month has been a nightmare for stability. I've tweeted support a few times this month complaining and they never reply. I wanted to watch Luther on Netflix while I was eating my cup of noodles but in the end the app kept closing so I ate them in silence staring at the floor :(

    I agree that the list is missing some key titles but seriously there is so much to play so many games to get into now that we have these BC titles coming along with games with gold so I don't even have time to worry that certain games aren't on the list. Maybe I'm just a rotter because my backlog is so huge but I've not even had a chance to think about what they haven't given us yet.

    But I do get what you mean I promise.

    I'm kinda disappointed in this list. While there are some good games on it, I was expecting a little more than just 16 titles.

    I wonder if Microsoft is having trouble getting publishers to agree to this or they really intend to do this small amount every month.

    ConsciousEntity said:I downloaded and have been able to play Reach campaign and multiplayer without a disc. I downloaded it on the 360 when it was gwg so I guess I didn't need it. Thought I did but I guess not. Hopefully the same happens when/if they release Dark Souls because I did the same gwg download. This shit is sick and plays great. A little bit of wierd artifact stuff happening but overall a great experience.That's correct. If you own the digital version, you just download and pay. You only need the disc to play disc copies.

    I think more likely it's just the sheer effort that goes into porting each one of these games. Getting the publishers on board is one thing (I think they have a fair number on already, plus their own published catalogue) but porting them is where the effort goes in.

    Consider that with the original... 104 games? The majority were XBLA titles or Rare Replay titles and that BC was announced in June (when they must've had some games already ported) so they had 5 months between then and their first release... Releasing 16 titles in a month doesn't seem too bad going.

    I think they'll continue releasing between 10-20 games a month. What concerns me more is which games they won't make BC - the original Xbox had a lot of its games not made compatible with the 360. Also slightly concerned with the focus mainly being on XBLA titles - which are definitely going to be easier to port, but they're not the games I'm going to miss from my 360 if I got rid of it.

    Taking on the porting themselves takes the pressure of publishers (and shouldn't give them a reason to opt out other than wanting to release "remasters" etc) but does mean that it's likely to continue being around this many released every month. Either that or they're waiting to surprise us for Christmas. :P

    That all said, I'm really looking forward to breaking out Splosion Man and Deus Ex again. :D Super glad they're doing this programme and that BC is free too!

    Where's it out of date? It only shows a list of games that are available right now to play not a list of every game that might come.
    The link I posted only has Sacred Citadel, while the official Microsoft BC site has Sacred 3 listed as well.

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility

    Scroll down half-way, look at the Backward Compatable Game Library that has 8 games per 'page'. Click the left arrow 5 times - page 12 of 16.

    I'm pretty sure that Major Nelson said, on his blog, that the entire Bioshock series, Halo Wars, and CoD Black Ops 1 were supposed to be coming IN DECEMBER... I'm not really liking how untransparent Microsoft is being about these titles. There is no set release date for any of them and we're hard pressed to get an ACTUAL list of the new games that are coming. Just tell us the titles and when we're going to get them ffs.
    I just want Skyrim on the Xbone.

    This might be a dumb question but here it goes. Can you unlock the achievements on the One?

    IvanTortuga said:This might be a dumb question but here it goes. Can you unlock the achievements on the One?Yes. It's essentially 360 emulation. You aren't going to get extra achievements for playing on the one, it's just like playing a different 360.

Not hard to understand. If you want a digital copy, you have to buy a digital copy or hope it becomes a GwG.it still seems pointless, are people selling their 360s or something, to play my 360 I hit source once on my tv controller.In answer to everything:

    The point is you don't need a 360 to play. You need the disc so you don't suddenly get free copies of every 360 game you've ever played even if you only borrowed/rented them or have since sold the game. For games you originally played with a disc, there's no way for Microsoft to know which ones you still own, hence they ask for a disc. They ask for it every time, else you could just sell the game after the first time you loaded it on your One.

    Are people selling their 360s? Yes, in a lot of cases people sold them to buy a One. In fact, that's half the stated reason for this program - to encourage people to upgrade. In other cases, the 360 died on them, but they bought a One instead of replacing it. Other people have donated their 360 to a kid or other family member. All of these people would still like to access the games they still own even if they don't have a 360 in front of them, which is the entire point!

    Also, you have room to have all the consoles and devices you own plugged into one TV? Good for you! A lot of people don't.

    Like I keep saying every time someone whines about this - just because you don't personally find something useful, that doesn't mean it's not useful to anyone. It just means it's not for you.
    Another point is consolidation. Also they can apply xb1 features like streaming and record that etc
    And the better XB1 controller on the 360 title.

    Off Topic:

    I got a discount code from microsoft that is based on my gamerscore. This code offers you an 150€ discount if you buy an XB1 bundle. If I give this code away I get a free download of Forza 2 (I don't need the code, I am happy with my XB1, but I'd be interesed in the game)

    Is anyone interested in that code? Just pm me!

I would expect them no earlier than January at this point, TBH.
