Figured I start it up...

Seems there's over 200 "xbox 1" games that are backwards compatible for the launch. Something fairly new is going to be the 360's ability to play all original games in 720p/1080i HD output, as well as ALL 360 games. For those without a HDTV, the VGA monitor adapter is a cheap option at $40


360 can play with Xbox1 over Live/LAN
Game saves are NOT transferable to the 360
360 contains 3 tamper-proof security tabs (no case screws) making opening the case more difficult
Most 360 games are only using 1 of the 3 processors for the launch line-up.


Future news for 360:
future 360 Harddrive upgrades of 60/80gb+
In the next year we'll see the launch of the 360 Home-PC


I've got much more, I'll update it when I can.

I know it's only a 'rumor', and I don't have inside sources like you Worseley, but apparently some people claim it will be possible to transfer game saves.

Not that I play any games besides Halo1 and Halo2, and I don't care about those games saves.

Backwards compatible? I think you are a wee bit mistaken there. "Backwards" would assume that the X-Box 1 came out after the 360. I believe you mean forward compatible.

What are you talking about? The 360 can play games made before it, making it backwards compatible. Are you a moron?

I'm not an english major, but in your sentence; the "xbox 1 games" is the subject and "backwards compatible" are adjectives. Adjectives describe nouns, making the games the objects that are backwards compatible. Now, it's my opinion that everybody knew what you meant, and that Sczroer was just trying to start something.

Even though we are engineers; we still have to know how to write properly.

No, I was actually kinda confused. I did figure it out, but I spent a few seconds wondering how an old game can be "backwards compatible" to a new system.

the game isnt made to be played on the system but the system is made to correctly interpit the older games.. thus the backwardsness of the new to old...

sorry bout my spelling

That would be, "Granted, we knew what you meant, but here at seek42 your sentences must be PERFECT!" Anyway, I'm a fucking nut for the 360, ask me any question and I'll answer it. Here's the link that states game save swaps and downloadable content swaps are not possible:

It was, but when it was, the T.V. was way out of whack. It looks better now, but now the system isn't playing games. Someone already fucked up the controller, so that's probably the reason.
