Oh? Is backwards compatibility a good thing now? I was informed it's a relic of a bygone era, completely unnecessary in this day and age.

Well anyway, hello Microsoft welcome to 2012.


No, I've wanted it since day 1, and alot of others have as well. Also going through the press conference, they announced games like the previous Tom Clancy games will be B/C, and so will Fallout 3. No news on BO3, though I really dont care for it.

Seriously, beeing able to play old games wins E3 ? Its nice and all but PS3 was backwards compatible (initialy) and it did squat for the console.

This. If this is what wins E3 in someone's eyes, they either had low expectations or are biased. Like you said, really nice feature, but not MEGATONZ!! worthy.

Its a nice feature but I wish they had it when the console launched, not nearly 2 years later.

Microsoft won e3 because people can now play 360 games on it? What? That's amazing and it's free but I, PERSONALLY don't find it too big a deal. I would want new games to play on my console and not games from last gen that doesn't even get visual upgrades.



Too_Talls on 15 June 2015

depends on how you look at it, I have an xbox one but my 360 remains a big part of my setup, because games with gold keeps releasing good stuff for 360 and old online games I still have addictions to. I probably spend equal time on both systems.

So it's a big deal.

This is nice, certainly a system seller, I hope for original xbox emulation too

They actually do get a visual upgrade. Also I never said they won E3, its just a very great deal for us Xbox fans.

And we already see more benefits: Fallout 3 for free, Rainbow 6 Vegas for free...
This could become a standard feature, and will certainly mean an advantage for XOne.
