Old news I know, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.

I love it. The fact that the 360 guide is there, it's like an emulated Xbox 360. If party chat does work with it, I can finally talk to people on Xbone! :D

Discuss this amazing emulation.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I don't like the OS layout. They should just copy/paste the 360 onto the one

Yeah it's awesome. I can sell my 360 now. Played mass effect last night. Emulation works perfectly, its nice that everything is native so you can record, stream, etc. Easily my favorite E3 announcement.

As limited as it is, it's at least progress.

That's exactly what they did

Saves carry over as well, you just need to go on your 360 and put them on the Cloud first.

It's literally running the 360 OS over the X1 OS

There's barely any games that are backwards compatible right now, because it's a preview program. I wouldn't sell your 360 yet until backwards compatibility is fully launched in December and actually has games.

So this backwards compatibility stuff, is it going to be 'sling your 360 disc into an xbone drive' or download old games digitally?

both, you can just get the download from the ready to install section, or putting the disc in gives you a download. As long as it's one of the ones they make compatible anyway

So we can play our old games, but only the ones they approve?

I'm not sure microsoft knows how to make an emulator.

they didn't really say if the disc way makes it a from the disc download rather than over the internet.

Naturally that's what I would be hoping for but I got no idea which way it is unfortunately.

Yeah for sure. It's nice to see that they did a good job on it though.

They're going to be constantly adding games over time. It releases to everyone in December with 100 games that are compatible.

I still like the 360 controller but alright. XD
I loved it before I got my hands on the X1 controller, the improvement is stark

the only noticeable differences are the new shitty bumpers and the new triggers

And the analogue sticks, direction pad and the overall shape of the controller.

they already released a 360 controller with a better d-pad.
triggers aren't that big of a difference.
the overall shape is extremely similar to the 360's basic shape
