Q: DO I NEED A HARD DRIVE TO PLAY THE BACKWARD COMPATIBLE GAMES?
A: Yes.

Q: I HAVE A HARD DRIVE, WHAT NOW?
A: The easiest way is to simply pop your Xbox game into your 360 and wait for the system to ask you if you want to download a necessary update from Xbox Live. Simply choose yes and it will download in a few seconds, then you're free to play!

Q: I'M ON 56K/DON'T HAVE XBOX LIVE, DOES THIS MEAN I'M SCREWED?
A: No, simply visit here and read up about burning an update CD. The guide on Xbox.com is very indepth and shouldn't cause you any troubles.

Q: WHEN PLAYING A GAME IT SOMETIMES TELLS ME I'VE UNLOCKED AN ACHIEVEMENT, WHAT ARE ACHIEVEMENTS?
A: Achievements are a brand new and exclusive feature to the Xbox 360 which rewards you for completing certain tasks in games. Every game developer is allowed to give away upto 1000 Gamerpoints in every game and they pick what you have to do to achieve them. To see what tasks you have to do on your game, simply hit the middle button on your controller and select 'My Games'. There it will list everything you have achieved and can achieve.

Q: CAN GAMERPOINTS BE USED TO EARN ANYTHING ON XBOX LIVE?
A: No, Gamerpoints are purely for bragging rights.

Anything to add? Just say!

Does anyone know when the next batch of BC games is coming?

Jackonattor · 05-30-2006, 12:44 AM

I dont see why they make the already saved games on your xbox transferred to xbox 360. I lost SO many saves becaus of that. (also the fact that my xbox broke)
