Xbox 360 backwards compatibility revealed

Check the list here

What's there: Well, a whole lot, really. Too many for me to mention.

What's not: Project Gotham series, Splinter Cell series, Burnout series, The Chronicles of Riddick and Jet Set Radio. Maybe some others that you were looking for, but those are the missing games I would have been interested in.

Hopefully that list will grow as Xbox Live compatability may allow for other titles to be "patched" in the future.

I honestly can't feel excited about the next gen consoles.

Xbox 360 is moderately better than it already was?

I get to way my hand around frantically to play Revolution games?

I get to use a controller for the PS3 that looks like a banana/boomerang/two pronged dildo?

Why wouldn't all Xbox games be compatible on the 360?

I think it's pretty effing lame they have Shamu's Deep Sea Adventure, but not Shenmue 2.

It's a crime.

It has to do with a new internal hardware structure. I went over it here:

Thanks. I'm only sorry I didn't pay more attention to your thread.
