Second that Kung Fu Chaos Alex. That game was so damn fun. I traded it at gamestop finally figuring it'd never be backward compat. But I'll buy it back in a second.

Be nice if they would fix the Halo 2 compatibility. I'm fed up of the ghosting effect you get from the scenery sometimes. It can make it nearly unplayable sometimes.

@22, Why would Burnout Revenge be BC if it's out for the machine already? You can buy a retail copy for about $10 I believe.

@25, I've played Gladius and thought it was pretty damn fun to be an action game with that type of battle system similar to turn-based RPG's.

Ughhhh, all I want to play is the Nightmare Before Christmas game.

Also, now that they have a version of DDR for 360 (and therefore dance mats), they should make the other versions backwards compatible. I don't like Universe very much.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! But I'm still waiting for NBA Street V3 and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland! How about the original OXM demo discs, and maybe the ones that are both for Xbox and 360, maybe you should pick which version before you play the demo discs. Thanks for making the greatest system alive!

I'd still like them to just fix the intermittent compatibility issues with Mercenaries. I love that it finally works now, but having it randomly freeze repeatedly is more than a little frustrating.

Does anyone know if Jet Set Radio Future works now. It said it worked the last updates but it didn't?

I've tested out a bunch of these and I can say that:

* JSRF now works from the combo disc (SWEET!).

* Sega GT 2002 also now works from the combo disc.

* Both Morrowind and Morrowind GOTY Edition work. Emulation seems pretty tight, but the game seems darker than on the original Xbox.

* Panzer Dragoon Orta (PAL) still crashes after the third level (BOOO!)

* OutRun2 works flawlessly... didn't notice any glitches.

* PGR 2 (PAL) seems fine until you pick a car, at which point it crashes.

This is a fantastic update and I am grateful. But I'm not sure I'll be truly happy until Panzer Dragoon Orta works for me (past the third level), and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is supported.
