Yeah, almost that entire list pretty much sucks.

Now, I know that they've said some games end up being backward compatible "by accident"- as in they do one game and a few others end up compatible because of the software routines or emulation or whatnot. But looking at that list....just what the hell were they working on that was worth it in the first place?

There are games like JSRF, Munch's Oddysey, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Stranger's Wrath, etc. out there that aren't backwards compatible yet I see this stuff like Bad Boys 2, State of Emergency, Minority Report, Big Mutha Truckers (I'm sure it sold a TON at Walmart, but still), etc.....well, it just makes me think of when Peter Moore was flapping his lips a couple weeks ago, saying that at some point they're going to say "ok, that's enough" (the whole "we underpromised and overdelivered" comment still blows my mind), and knowing that every update is that much closer to the good stuff not ever getting released.......

It makes me sad. But somehow...and I know I'm jumping the gun a bit here....somehow I knew MS was full of it when they said the 360 was going to be backwards compatible. So far, I wouldn't say it qualifies as anything of the sort.
