The crew over at 360sync discovered that Microsoft's press materials for Conker: Live & Reloaded and Jade Empire have been recently updated. Now, that wouldn't be all that newsworthy if it weren't for the fact that both games are backwards compatible and Microsoft's press materials usually only get touched when there is news about the product being announced. So, so our speculative thoughts lead us in the direction of the Xbox Originals program.It isn't entirely crazy to think that Conker and Jade Empire could be making the Xbox Originals jump seeing that both studios (Rare and BioWare) have tight connections with Microsoft, but it's far from being set in stone. And to be fair, while confirming Conker and Jade Empire's updated materials, we noticed that the press materials for Rare's Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero were also updated the same day. Take the rumor for what it's worth.

Look in your local used game shop, then. I see them around all the time for $8-10.

Wait isn't Conker backward compatible? Why would I spend 1200MP aswell as 5gb of my 20gig if I could have this game for five buck at EB?

Because you're stupid? That's the only reason I can come up with. Unless they start adding in some bonus content or achievements I can't see why any moron would go for the more expensive download unless they are paranoid about their dvd drive dieing. I already own Conker on my 64 and that is good enough for me. Don't need a rehash from the xbox that costs me nearly 20 bucks.

At Gamestop Conker Live and Reloaded is 17.99 used so paying two extra dollars so it runs quieter on the harddrive sounds like a great deal to me.

I know that, but they gave us some terrible multiplayer instead of the multiplayer from Bad Fur Day

I know this is random and doesn't pertain to this subject, but why the hell did they skip out on making Rallisport 2 and Mechassault backwards compatible? Those two were probably among the most popular games released on Xbox. Not saying Conker and Jade are bad (I allready own them both) but what the hell. I would dig out my old Xbox (Xboxen) to play them but both of them died on me. Anyone else miss those two and want them added?

Why would PDZ be updated it is already a 360 game. I can't see any new DLC, unless it is to state that the current pack 1 is to become free. You wouldn't update PDZ for a sequel would you?

I picked up Jade Empire for 8 bucks at Gamestop over Christmas; it was nearly everywhere I went, so I don't think that is terribly difficult to find. Pretty cool game too. Coming into that right after Mass Effect, I've noticed the dialogue trees feel much deeper, and there's a helluva lot more dialogue.
I'd like to replay Conker, that game was hilarious.

Jade Empire would probably do well what with the Mass Effect effect and all. especially if there's some sideboob

NEVERMIND. I just looked at some gameplay videos for the xbox version and its trash compared to the N64, call me crazy but the N64 version of conker (visually) looks better to me.. something just not right about the Xbox version and they changed and censored so much.. what the hell is wrong with them. I always wanted the sequel to come out but not if its goin to be censored and just plain old crap. especially with Jack Thompson runnin about...
