New Xbox 360 BackCompat Update 35
docdude316 writes "Gamespot is reporting that the Xbox 360 got another backward compatibility update Monday. The article says 'Microsoft has updated its Xbox 360 backward-compatibility list, this time adding 39 new games and updating support for nine more. That brings the total number of Xbox games playable on the Xbox 360 up past the 250 mark.' More backward compatibility is a good thing, but where's Psychonauts and Conker?" No Pyschonauts yet == BOOOO! And where is Jet Set Radio Future?

Soul Caliber II has ports on all three major last gen platforms. Plus part of the issue might be that there is a Soul Caliber game under development on the 360 on top of the fact that Soul Caliber III is out making Soul Caliber II "obsolete" in the eyes of the porting team.

The real big deal with XBox360 is that MS is releasing development tools [msdn.com] that will allow the general public to develop games for the system.

His girlfriend bought the games, not him, meaning his girlfriend needs to be signed in in order to play them. Note that he can still be signed in on his own account and playing it, just she needs to be signed in as well as, say, second player.
It's more of a hassle than it should be, granted, but it's quite overblown.

1. Get a refund of Microsoft Points (via proving your innocense that you've swapped the console).
2. Create a brand new silver account
3. Apply the Microsoft Points refund to the new silver account.
4. Purchase games on the new silver account.
Well, the proposed solution seems fine and dandy, untill you have to swap out your console again.
So fast forward to the 5th console swap (not out of propor

Not convinced about the level of compatibility (Score:3, Interesting)
Oh, I played the demo of Saints Row having heard it was better than GTA: San Andreas. No, it isn't. The control is crappy, there is far too little blood and it crashed my 360.

The single biggest reason why people are unimpressed/upset with MS's limited backwards compatability list is because they're comparing MS to Sony's ability to support Sony's own old games. But many people fail to realize that Sony has been using the same-ish hardware for all their consoles (at least I think so).
However, Microsoft not only put a more complex processor in the 360 (3 cores in the Xbox 360, and 1 core in the Xbox), they
