Man, they're really spoiling us with the quality of these BC games these days.

No wonder his Twitter pic is of the back of his head, can't keep a straight face

Seriously though, really disappointed with BC. Very few good games so far.

Unless its on GwG it's generally something very few want.

We're nearly a year in and despite the list of partners coming out about 8 months ago, which Bethesda was on, nothing bar Fallout 3(only included as a perk for purchase) has came since.

I think E3 will see a lot of BC announcements we weren't expecting

Have a look at these ODST and SSX pre-orders on Amazon

You can use it for xbox one games but not 360 bc games sadly.

Seems the ID@Xbox games are finally getting a push this month

The Force Unleashed I&2 both gone BC: http://www.trueachievements.com/n23594/star-wars-the-force-unleashed-1-and-2-now-backwards-compatible.htm

Only ever played the first one but it was pretty enjoyable from what I remember.

To what extent? Doom 3 was added but you need the disk for arguments sake. Are they available on store?

Only reason you need the disk for Doom is it was never released digitally I think, so since they're on xbox.com to buy digitally you shouldn't need the disk. They're both on sale at the moment too for 4.99 and 7.49 if you have gold.

Are there issues with live again ?

Edit: Nevermind I'd just enabled 2 step authentication on my accounts and had to sign out and back in while the xbox was on and approve the access in the app. I recommend everyone do this in light of the email hacks yesterday if not doing so already.

This is a great suggestion. I'd second this, and go so far as to recommend the Microsoft account app on android (not sure about iOS). Instead of having to enter a code, you just have to click a button in an app.

It's actually a really good system they have with the app and the app passwords, hell my online banking doesn't feel as secure.

Microsoft are releasing a bunch of dead gamer tags on Wednesday, ones that haven't been used since the Xbox era.

See here.

Nah no list. Just try change your tags and see yep. It will tell you if it's available or not before you finalize it of course.

lol doubt it, they are releasing over 1,000,000 tags , there are sites you can use to check if tags have been taken. http://checkgamertag.com

I'm going to change mine if it's available.

Worth pointing out it will be free if you have never changed it other with it will cost you.

It's only free if you have a randomly generated tag I thought, I tried to change mine one day and it wanted to charge me a tenner.

Hmmm maybe, but the article linked above said as much and last 2 time I checked to see if the one I wanted was free or not it wasn't looking to charge. Was that change checked on One or 360? I checked on the One.

MiskyBoyy

Just tried change mine to see if it charged me. It did. But "DustinTheTurkey" is free if there's any takers :rolleyes:

wexdevil

Don't think I'd change mine, made it back on the original Xbox and I've just become too attached to it.

MiskyBoyy

It's about time they released more tags tbh. I made an xbox account online before I got my first xbox. Then when I actually got an xbox (2006) I had lost access to the account I had created previously. (old email, no longer accessible etc.) Still to this day my original gamertag (Misky) isn't available: https://account.xbox.com/en-us/profile?gamerTag=misky

I have the option to change for free, so not sure that's the reason.

Will be trying to change later today, annoys me not having the same XBL/PSN tag - had mawksee on an old old account, hopefully it frees up
