Saved games even sync with the cloud so can swap back to playing on 360 at any time.

Any reason Activision is not taking part in the BC program? I thought they would of been one of the first to jump onboard.

Really nice. I hope they continue to add BC titles. I tend to go back to older games during the release draughts and my 360 RRoDed last year.

What will be the most common price point for these games? Some games will obviously be older than others, etc.

Well, I don't want to buy a last-gen console and hook it up just to play one game on it.
If I get an Xbox One, I'll play RDR and so many other current-gen games.

I was expecting late November, so that's a nice surprise.
What's the list looking like now? The one in the OP hasn't been updated.
This is the new thread with more up-to-date titles:

But there isn't a official full list yet. I expect there will be next week sometime.
The thread we are on now is the old one that keeps getting bumped.
The problem is that the other one was created in the Community section for whatever reason => no one is looking there

Has Reach been confirmed as Day one?
Nothing has been confirmed but you can pretty much expect it Day 1.

Are all of the Mass Effects BC right now? Really important for them to have DLC.

Still no list of the BC games huh? Why so much secrecy doesnt it come out next week?
Yep, sorry you're right. It's listed on a retailers website. I think it's credible, though.
Might still be up in the air for some titles. This kind of stuff is continuous work.
Maybe there's going to be a big "backward compatibility sale" tomorrow with the whole list, or maybe next week.
Oooooor they don't want our money and they won't say anything until 12th :/
Phil has said previously on Twitter that everything was refocused on launch day.
And bought, thanks!

Treat this with a healthy dose of scepticism, but I overheard a Microsoft rep in our local gaming emporium this lunctime - he was giving them a presentation on NXE in the shop itself.
The rep got onto BC, and mentioned a few things I've not heard before:
Apparently the full confirmed BC list is supposed to be on the Microsoft website as of today with '30-40' games at launch (Think he was confused here, and just meant the ones already announced).
Some of the games announced earlier in the year aren't actually coming and were just 'placeholder graphics' (which I thought sounded kinda bs).
I asked the rep about Red Dead and he said 'before the end of the year'. and Reach 'dunno, probably next year'.
I do think Microsoft are playing catchup with BC at this point, even some of the shop staff hadn't heard of it, and one even said 'oh, isn't that only for the 1Tb consoles'. But they were dead excited at the prospect of possibly shifting some of the 360 second hand games.
Anyway, take it with a large dose of salt, I guess. But interesting nonetheless.

They promised 100+ at launch so I find this a little hard to believe.

Agreed, it was the line about some of the announced games not coming that got me open mouthed.

Same here, I hope we see it. It would breath new life into the online aspects of the game with Xbox One.
If hes anything like some of the "reps" they use in the UK, he's just as clueless as most shop staff, the UK ones aren't even MS employees as far as I know, just random PR/Relationship people.
XB1 launch: Local GAME had 2 of them loitering around, clueless about the console and the launch games "You should pick up Halo"
Tesco Superstore earlier this year: "Yeah Minecraft will be out soon, but we've got it today, here early as a special offer"...
I'd take everything he said with a pinch of salt.
Yeah, I went to the XB1 'preview event' in my city GAME, where they let us play on Xbox One Devkits before the console came out (so a high profile event, even the Dash was the in development version). I was talking to the MS reps on site and they were absolutely clueless.
I don't get the hate for Paradise. That game is fucking amazing. One of the best of last gen.
I personally think they are still working on adding as many games as possible before the launch day. Remember they said implementing each game was as easy as pushing a button. All they needed was publisher approval.
I still believe they are in discussion with "certain" publishers about what games to give the go ahead. And probably working out something with launching certain BC games in tandem with new gen releases a la fallout 4/3 etc.
So everyone please be patient.

Maybe BC announcement later today too?
Maybe BC announcement later today too?
They had almost 4 months to do that.
But OK, some publishers will wait how player like the feature once it launched, before agreeing to it.
I also think that they have more games than they release atm, so they can give players a steady stream of XX new games per months.

Not sure about the date for gears as it could be a second wave fo games, we don't know yet.
Online will work like it was on a 360, so everything thr 360 does online for games it will do the same on xbox one including party chat.
DLC so far has appeared for games like mass effect if you already owned it, and included in borderlands 1 for some reason for everybody. Gears 1 has all the dlc because it was all free maps back in the day and included in a title update.
I would presume at launch all the BC titles will appear in the store somehow and most likely listing their DLC also.
Gears is down as by 'end of December'.

Lifelower on Twitter found the store page for Bejeweled 2
Not everyone likes that it went open world.
Yup, thats my issue with it. Not a bad game, but not what I wanted at all
i think it won't. There's a really good PC version which would be very easy to port to XB1 (already DirectX and x86) and has high res textures. Plus, extra money.
