^thats why it has the VC

But that cost money and your collection can not be played without re-purchasing the title.

Yeah, but for at least one generation, I mean.

If the 360 is eventually gonna have full BC then that's one thing, but geez, 360 and Xbox even used the same kinda disc, so I just don't understand why they couldn't go ahead and do the whole library, grind it out or whatever.

As much as i'd like to mock M$ about the subject, i have to say, that emulating CISC code on RISC processor isn't actually easy. As far as i know about the subject, it's a little like trying to fit 120 cm object through one meter window. And some games are easier to emulate than others. But then again, before PS2, we hadn't seen BC console in 15 years. But since BC is considered as standard today, it really sucks that 360 BC sucks (but hey, it's still better than PS3:s BC).
