Maybe we need to advertise this place more? I'm thinking of including the link in our sigs at the Haven and other sites. Perhaps even creating sig images for sites who'll allow it, or even banners for support from other sites. lol, sorry man. Maybe we need to advertise this place more?

I should post controversial rants more often. :-p To offer a little more backup on the 360 back-compatible question, back in June Peter Moore got his hand slapped by about a million 360 owners when he dropped that line about no one being "concerned" over BC any more. In the quickly-issued public apology, he referenced the statement that every title would be done, and promised Microsoft would get "darned close" to that goal. The article is here: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/712/712123p1.html Read through the supporting links and you'll see reference to the original boast made to GamesIndustry, which was in very clear "100% - you won't have to keep the older console" language.

Now that just a few throw-away multiplatform sports titles are the only new Xbox games coming out, MS just has to play clean-up. Thanks.

The wording at the E3 05 conference was to make the "top selling Xbox titles" backwards compatable. If there's any instance where they specifiaclly said "100%," please mention it.
