WOAH, that could spell disaster for Microsoft and the XboX 360! For a huge company to say that it is backward compatable, actually release the product still claiming full backward compatability, and then come up with backward compatability issues is pretty rediculous. either release it and don't say it is backward compatable, or hold it back and release it when it is ready!

I had planned on getting a 360 but now I'm not so sure. I have about 50 legacy games and none of them will work on the 360 (so far). In addition, I probably won't be able to buy a system until Feb or March when they are finally available again. I have a lot invested in my PC so maybe I'll stick to gaming there or maybe I'll pck up a PS3 - rumor has it they'll be out in March as well. The people are MS are idiots, with the "early" release of the 360, they could have really put the hurt on Sony if they had enough product.
