What did I expect from Microsoft?!

I should have saved my money and waited for PS3. In December with all the other crazed gamers waiting to get a new Xbox 360 I managed to snag one. I didn't care about the new 360 games coming out. I just wanted to be able to play my old Xbox games on it because Microsoft had touted that their new system would be backwards compatible with ALL their games from the previous Xbox. Surprise! Not all games are compatible. In fact, none of the games I own are compatible wih the new 360. I only found out when I tried to paly one tonight. Come to find out, from Xbox's website, that only some games are compatible and that they are slowly adding more games from their old system. A little more digging on the site and I find out that they are using software emulation to make the old games work on the new Xbox 360. Software emulation?! What the FUCK!!!! You have to download each set of emulation software as they become available from Microsoft. After months of proclaiming that their new system would be backwards compatible and flogging this info in all the gaming press I naturally assumed that any game would work in the new system. There was never any small print stating otherwise.

When Sony launched their PS2, it was backwards compatible right out of the box. Microsoft should take some lessons from Sony.

PS3 hasn't launched yet. There's still time to recoup my losses and wait for PS3.

Xbox 360, say bye bye. Game Over.
