I heard Peter Moore talking about the end of BC for XBOX games on the XBOX 360. Is this true? I thought Microsoft promised full BC for their XBOX library. What the #$%@!!!!!??????

Don't keep your hopes up. I agree with Carl and Timmy. It cost too much to satisfy a few customers. If for example Halo 2 wasn't backwards comp. Microsoft would of lost customers thinking about purschasing the system. I wouldnt of bought the 360 if i wasnt able to play halo2. The best thing you can do is just keep the old xbox.

What Peter Moore said was later retracted by the backwards compatability team. They said that they are still working and at this time it is not being done away with.

there is no money in making all the games backwards compatible
1st it costs too much to put a team on each game
2nd they would rather have you buy new games for the 360 (I would have to agree with the HD!)
don't get me wrong ..... I love my 360
but they are called not M$ for nothing
its all about the $$$$

I would say yes because they only want you to buy 360 games and not use the old Xbox titles.

Peter Moore said he was sorry for saying that and they did not stop working on BC.

Microsoft seems to think that no matter how many new systems they introduce, people will still keep buying. BC isn't their problem. Look at how poorly they managed the conversion of systems from W98 to W2K.
Microsoft thinks that they have us all on a leash.
Yet , I keep buying their products...am I dumb, or what?

i imagine MS has given up on the backward compatibility utilising application emulation because it truly is a huge job. MS has to artwork on each and every sport independently, and that takes numerous time and elements.

I thought they were always backwards in their compatibility.
At least I think that is their philosophy.
Sorry for the odd wording, I mean I thought their philosophy was to be backwards compatible as much as possible. :)
Still doesn't sound right does it?
