No, cause i already have a 360 and dont plan to buy the next xbox.

But, i would if Sony did it with the PS3, cause i dont have one and plan to get the ps4 eventually.

Awesome idea from MS.

why cant they make it to where you put your 360 game in your 720. it recognizes it as a download not a disc. you then can play your old 360 games like a indie game off your 720. why do we need to buy a whole other system. i just think its stupid, and their just trying to get more money from us.


The 720 will not be able to play 360 games because it's a different architecture. The only solutions are sticking 360 architecture in the 720 (pretty much what this rumor would accomplish) or emulating the 360 (like playing 360 games on a PC). This is far from them just trying to get more money.

 

Also it's a $99 console and that's it. You wouldn't also pay monthly for it.



Why? There will probably be a $99 360 this holiday. Why not just buy that if you want to play 360 games?

New consoles aren't about backward compatibility



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

If I didn't have a 360 and would like to play the games from that time.... yeah sure.

But I do have a 360 so I wouldn't get one.

I'm not sure how this works. The StingRay console doesn't have a disk drive am I right? So it only plays digital 360 titles.

So by attaching it to the 720, the 720 can read 360 Optical Disks?

If I didn't have a 360, or if it broke (which it might....sooon), I would for sure pay $100 for BC.

I wish Sony did something like this with the PS4, since my PS3 broke a while back and now I'm probably going to get a PS3 instead of a PS4 this fall to finish off the dozen or so games I haven't beaten.

I still like Wii U's BC out of the Box, with Wii games and Controllers, much better though.
