I don't know if it's been covered or not.

I think there should be an icon listed next to an xbox game symbolizing compatibility with the 360.

Thanx for listening.

I've always thought this too.

That, or a link to the BC list at xbox.com.

I don't think this has been mentioned before...

AND it's a good idea.

Interesting

It has been mentioned, but it would very labor intensive to manually add compatability per game

There are many sites online that provide a compatability list to see for yourself

It has been mentioned for PC and Mac games as well as other cross-generation console games.  Problem is this stuff is never a stationary target: look at the evolution (for the good) of the X360 B/C status, and the evolution (for the bad) of the PS3.

Nice idea, but better done off-site.

You wouldn't have to add an icon for each BC game.  Wouldn't a link to a BC list on every Xbox game be easier?

That way, the list would update itself and Goozex wouldn't have to add new BC titles.

maintaining an external link for multiple items in a database is probably not worth doing.  I'm not a fan of html content links in dbs in general.

How hard is it to go check yourself? This link has them all, and if you aren't sure about something just go check here.

Microsoft's list is horrible.  Many of those games don't fully work on the 360.  Try this one:

Agreed. Microsoft's list is horrible. It only lists if the game runs, not how well it runs. Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is on the list but as anyone who's ever played the game on the 360 can tell you, it is unplayable due to severe graphical glitches.

Sony doesn't even have a list, you have to type in game names 1 at a time into a search engine, and the bugs listed are user submitted...
