    I'd love if they announced Xbox support.

    Like, Xbox 1.

    @ClemFandango yup, I sold about 50 mint condition 360 games for next to nothing when I switched to Xbox One... now gutted

    @Baihu1983 Does it still have the horrendous pop in?

    In fact, I wonder how some games that made a lot of use of HDD-caching will work. Halo 3 and GTA V in particular did not work well if installed to the HDD in their entirety.

    I bought Bloodborne from my local EB Games two months ago, yet they still have copies for sale there! Cheeky fuckers!

    @samharper it's running better than playing it installed on the 360 which I always found a big improvement over playing it off the disc.

    They have and they want you to pay through the nose for it!

    DLC will be available when BC officially launches to the public

    @samharper I guess it wouldn't be that hard to do... would there be demand for that though?

    Can anyone get Perfect Dark. Kameo or Banjo Kazooue n&b to work using the physical disc (PAL version)
    Keep getting a message saying the game is not supported

    Reckon the issue with dlc may be to do with title updates needed to recognise the content
    On a 360 the update is saved to the system cache; on xb1 the cache is possibly not there or not part of the emulator yet...

    It seems, for Kameo at least, there was issues with the Classics version of the games. Is it the Classics version you have or the originals?

    @alasdairm

    Just picked up Kameo original version from Cex for £3. Will try that out after installing Viva Piñata TIP:)

    For Rare games, I might as well pick up the Replay collection rather than fiddle with backward compatibility. It would be worth it for Conker and Blast Corps alone, but getting some 360 games too is icing on the cake.

    There are many other titles I'd like to play again on X1, though. I'm hoping for Ninja Gaiden 2, but I have this nagging feeling that Tecmo will eventually sell a trilogy remaster instead (but perhaps it would be exclusive to the PS4).

    @Malek86

    I'm picking up the rare collection as well. Just that I saw these in CEX and impulse buy kicked. Brought 360 at launch and never played Kameo. Might as well now

    @AceGrace

    Sorry no It doesn't work :) it wasn't in the classics style packaging so I thought I try it out.

    Viva Piñata TIP does work

    I JUST sold 90% of my 360 games. D'oh.

    Then again, there's probably only two or three I'd be looking to play again any time soon.

    There are some forum threads on xbox.com about kameo and other games so I suspect it will be fixed soon.

    Not being Mr Sensible, I didn't sell mine, no I gave them away to my Nephew and Brother in law.

    Nevermind, I'm sure I'd probably not have played them anyway.

    I'm playing Bloodborne on my PS5. Just wait 6 years will you for Sony backward compatibility.

    Played some VP this morning.

    Seems lovely but I've got the Witcher 3 to finish so likely to go on the back burner. Runs perfectly as far as I can tell too, was expecting the usual choppy emulator performance.

    There are no graphical improvements, I guess?

    @Malek86 nope... you will need remasters for that.

    Really impressed with how ME runs.

    I'm guessing we will still have to swap discs when playing games on more than one?
