Microsoft Updates Xbox 360 Back Compat Again

Posted by Zonk on from the everything-old-is-new-again dept.

liquidzero4 writes "Earlier this week, Microsoft patched in another of their regular backwards compatibility updates. This one is fairly important; not only does it add a number of titles to the official back-compat list but several of the new old games are fairly popular. The likes of Panzer Dragoon ORTA, Jet Set Radio Future, Mercenaries, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Soul Calibur 2, and Star Wars Republic Commando are sure to make some 360 owners happy."

  1. PS3, too by toriver · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As of the european 1.7 firmware upgrade, the PS3 now plays Okami, Amplitude, GT4 and a buch of others that didn't work on 1.6. Life is good.

    (Okami on a PS3 with HDMI cable on a good LCD with the options set to TV-type LCD = sheer beauty)

    Of course, instead of trumpeting this significant feature of the update, Sony are harping about the as-of-yet unavailable-in-Europe downloadable PS1 games.
