Also strangely, both pages say I own Fable II, but if I goto Fable II's page it asks me to buy it again and I can't download it from my Xbox One.

You probably "bought" it when it was up for free in error. Existing downloads of that on 360 continue to function but when Microsoft fixed the glitch they blocked redownloads of erroneous purchases.

I am trying to use a 1TB external HDD on my xbox one and the console doesn't recognize it at all. I've tried two different 3.0 cables and two different ports. Any ideas? It doesn't even display it for media storage.

Isn't this supposed to be plug in and go?


Edit - I tried it on my S instead and it immediately was recognized and formatted. But the original XBone is the one I need more storage on. Any ideas?

The drive might be drawing more power than expected and the S just handles it better? Just a random guess off the top of my head.

Did anyone ever have any luck redownloading Marble Blast Ultra.. I've checked my purchase history and I'm not having any luck.

Is there a cut off point for the web interface? I've been an XBL member for a lot longer than 2010 which is where it ends on the website for me.

Keep scrolling down.

Same here. Apparently I had no impulse control on XBLA

XBLA sales were pretty awesome.

$2-$3? Sure! Why not? ;)

Ok, have we seen any Konami games on BC so far? I know it will never happen, but thanks to some doa5lr mods, really missing some Rumble Roses. I still have the disk, but will probably pick it up digitally just in case.

There have been a few iIRC. Symphony of the Night springs to mind.
edit: Saw this on Wikipedia. Referencing the titles on xbox's official list, it seems to check out.

Had 23 dollars in my Microsoft account for some reason, not sure why. I picked up Ghostbusters with it. I could've sworn I bought both it and Dragon Age: Origins when they went on sale, but I guess I just have them both physically.

Getting really good speeds when I start downloads now, guessing from that recent update, but they always slow down to 60-50ish by the end of the download.

Is it backwards compatible?

I just managed to add it to my queue

Picked up Bad Company 2 for the BC, and wow it feels so slow and sluggish compared to today's shooters. It's a decent game, but the shooting just feels off and the game is full of ugly jaggies.

If I pulled that off, would you die?

Yeah it shows its age imo.

BF3 has aged better but I really can't go back to last gen Battlefields. Too much has changed for the better, even if it is at the expense of Rush.

Really hoping with Nier Automata coming out soon, we'll get Nier on BC (Even though it's not coming to Xbox... yet). Still got a copy I can't play due to not having an 360 as anymore.

That must be it. Fable really isn't my jam, so I was surprised to see it my Purchase History and not a past GwG title. Thanks!

It took a few matches for me to get back at it, but then it was really fun, much more than the newest ones IMHO.

That's not age, that's the terrible sub 30 fps which was shoved down our throats.

On another note, I installed ME3 on XboxOne to play and finish the DLC I had purchase... the game runs at fucking 20 fps in Citadel market place area....

Forza Motorsport 2,3,4
PGR 2,3
Blur
MC:LA
Driver San Francisco
Saints Row 1 & 2
NFS HP 2010, Carbon, MW 2012/2005, Pro Street
GTA IV
Modern Warfare 2 & 3
COD Black Ops 2
Test Drive Unlimited 1 & 2
Burnout Revenge
Gotham City Imposters
Fable Anniversary
Crackdown

Still want Blacklist added to BC.

I find it weird that of the Clancy games on Xbox 360, only the Rainbow Six titles seemed to get the BC treatment.

You would have thought that Ghost Recon would have been a better candidate, as GRAW1 was one of the early defining titles for the platform.

Honestly, I still kinda want to play Sonic 4: Episode 2.

I played Ep1 on Wii and it was so meh, I know Ep2 will be disappointing as well but yea I just feel as a fan I 'should' play it just to say I had lol.

I've waited aaaages for like a 75% off sale or something, feels like it's always just 50% and that makes it still $10NZ.

The normal price was such a rip off even at 50% discount it still seems like a rip off. :|

Don't know if this happened to anybody else but, I'm replaying Dead space 2 and yesterday I got an update for it. This was in the middle of a playthrough so the game was already patched beforehand.
This happened to me on Mass Effect 3 also, right before it got the BC version on the Bone. So...
