Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn`t currently backward compatible, no far cry instincts either. (Wonder if that means they plan to release x360 versions instead of encouraging people to buy the existing Xbox version instead?)

There`s less than half my Xbox collection on that list. I`m very surprised by the lack of The Chronicles of Riddick, Splinter Cell 1-3 and Lego Star Wars.
It all seemingly boils down to graphics hardware/compatibility issues, so I don`t know to what extent MS can pick and choose; which would explain the inclusion of the all but ignored Deathrow and yet no room at the inn for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
Oh yeah... Ken is a badass dude!

The US back catalogue list is a lot longer than that and encompases nearly the whole back catalogue. The euro release is substantially shorter and the japanese list consists of a mighty 14 games (which conversely is the same number of japanese people who bought an xbox).
Oh, and apparently THE WHOLE OF EUROPE is getting a massive 300,000 units, so bets are off and there is a very good chance stores will f*** off pre-orders and do a first come first served stylee. So you are probably going to be best off at small chain toy shops and places like that, apparently.

I`m going to wait outside my local Woolies (assuming they get any!) and wait for the delivery of the stock. Then I`m going to hit one of the staff (in my area, inevitably an old lady) with a pointy stick, then run home with an Xbox 360 under my arm! :D
