So why cant i just put any 360 disc? why has the game to be redownloaded or it downloads some extra data? why isnt every xbox 360 game BCompatible? youre saying the nonsense here

The answer is in this thread.

Hint: Mass Effect is playable on Xbone as of right now. Do you really think that EA gave MS the whole toolset and the source code to make this possible? Really?

MS already said it is an emulator. The reason for it to be downloaded is that not a single game (this also applies to PS4) runs off disc. MS packages the whole game with updates into a binary which Xbone understands. It runs as an Xbone game on Xbone hardware. Again, there is no playing off discs at all this gen. Everything gets installed first.

If it's a fully functional emulator, that brings up a question: will Microsoft ever bring that emulator to Windows 10 and start selling 360 games through there?
