Atm I'm playing BC games just as much as new ones :).

Yeah, I'm with ya there.

Years into the 8th gen and we still see demand for classic 360 games and many people playing them online. People didn't think BC was gonna be a big deal on X1 because the content is old, clearly they were wrong. Never has there been so much discussion about BC.

Mass Effect 2 and 3 required some disc switching, Rage was 3 discs which is kinda ironical for half a game. :p I can't find LO in stores anywhere near me. No surprise there. I would gladly pay something for a digital version. $10 seems fair. Witcher 2 was sold out today as well Gamestop may not realize it yet but BC is a benefit to them as well as us. The devs would get a cut of any digital version and sell a few dlc. Win win.

Absolutely and I hope MS stays commited to bringing as many games as possible to BC, and also find a solution for original XBox games to be released. It´s great if we can have all the games for the system on one console :).

I imagine a lot of games will keep coming to X1 BC, nearly 200 games in under a year. Its basically easy money for publishers to continue selling their games on a new console.

The success of 360 BC probably has them atleast considering OG Xbox. A lot of classics they could push there.

There was a director cut on the 360? I thought that was only on the Wii U? I might have to pick that up.

For physical games swapping discs shouldn't be an issue. However selling digital versions of multi disc games is an obstacle I'm not sure they will resolve. More people will play the multi disc games if they are sold cheap digitally.

A mistake in this article by the way, its the Battlefield games that have texture installs. Technically that was never an issue because that stuff is treated as DLC. Also, they already found a solution for a GOTY titles with second disc installs like Fallout 3. When you insert the DLC disc, it downloads all the content.

Anyhow, there are numerous notable multi disc games on the 360. Glad they found a solution for X1 BC.

L.A. Noire was a multiple disc game and it is available digitally.

Digital versions of multi disc games arent the same as the physical version. They use DLC downloads versus multiple disc files.

For example, LA Noire's disc install would be a file for each disc and you would still swap discs. The digital version has a game file and numerous DLC files (less space given less redundant content). Hence, extra work is done to bring multi disc games to the online market. This is why few multi disc games are available digitally.

The easiest solution to bring multi disc games to the market would be some sort of software based disc swap, which has been done on Sony devices for PS1 emulation.

There are custom firmwares out there which are able to auto swap disc images without the user even noticing it. If they can do it then i am pretty sure that the Microsoft technicians can teach their virtual machine the same.
