Xbox 360 Backwards Compatability Update!

Panzer Dragoon Orta is now finally backwards compatible.

Early last month, GamePro reported at GDC that Microsoft would be focusing less on backwards compatibility after the end of this year. However, considering that the year hasn't ended yet, Xbox 360 owners with an extensive library of original Xbox games will be delighted to hear that just over 30 new games have been added to Microsoft's backwards compatibility catalogue.

The update, which is the most recent addition of games since last December, contains a number of relatively recent Xbox titles. However, hardcore favorites like the long-awaited treatment of Panzer Dragoon Orta have finally made it to the list, which now clocks in at a total of over 300 games. In order to play these games on an Xbox 360, simply insert the original Xbox disc into the system, which will prompt you to download an update. Those without connected Xbox 360 systems can click here to download the necessary backwards compatibility updates in .ISO form.

According to a post on Major Nelson's blog, these new updates also contain upscaling for owners of televisions capable of running in resolutions of 720p and 1080i. Although the complete list of over 300 games can be found here, below is a quick list of all the new games that have been recently added and/or updated:

Jeez, those are some pretty sweet games.

I guess there's less and less of a reason to buy a regular Xbox, when it's becoming simpler to get a 360.

Yeah its getting that way alright, unless your a mecha nut or collector of rare games and wants to play Steel Battalion, which I must say is made of pure win and pretty much to only reason I have for keeping my xbox at this stage.

Difference is Fever sucks not everyone is a sports fan so I'll understand that you wouldn't know the diff but to a sports fans this is rediculous. ESPNNFL2K5 was the last greatest football game on the X-box maybe ever.

NFL2K5 was the last great football game for any system ever. Madden will never compare no matter how much they try to improve it. You know. By adding useless features that get removed the next year because no one used them.

About eff'n time. I bought Rep Comm for $20 new before I got my 360 not knowing it wasn't compatible at the time.

I can finally take the damn plastic wrap off of this one and get some play time.
