So your saying that Microsoft was not going to fully consider compatability for the previous games that were created as well as the other 'kinks' it was just going to glaze over by there visual design...so Microsoft to do that.

I hope the other consoles knock xbox out of the water...Nintendo and Sony! Just to show them a little lesson that they are not everything and a bag of chips and can screw over people and that YES people are paying attention to what you are doing and not as naive as you think they are mothers and all.

Its funny I just read an article on news.yahoo.com that ....

"The BSA survey, conducted by the U.S.-based market research firm IDC, covered business applications, operating systems, consumer software and local market software in 87 countries.

IDC compared software sales in each of the countries with estimates of software in use and took the difference to be the pirated amount, calculating losses based on prices for those copies.

Vietnam topped the list, with 92 percent of all software used coming from pirates. It was followed by the Ukraine (91 percent), China (90 percent), Zimbabwe (90 percent) and Indonesia (87 percent).

The piracy rate was lowest — at 22 percent — in North America. Holleyman said that the United States has the lowest rate of piracy because it has the toughest penalties for illegal software usage.

The piracy rate was 53 percent in the Asia-Pacific region and 35 percent in Europe."
