Why release Jade Empire and Psychonauts as DL content for the 360 when the original Xbox discs work fine in the 360? IMO, they should offer games that aren't playable on the 360...such as The Warriors and Gladius. I would love to have those games on my 360.

some people like to have it as a digital download. Also I do agree with your second point. Games that aren't on the BC list should be made xbox originals... like JSRF.

And Sony and Nintendo don't? Oh I forgot, M$ is only out for your loot while Sony and Nintendo are only in it for your entertainment.

Well, when the 360 came out, Psychonauts WASNT backwards compatible. So they made it one of the first Xbox Originals as an apology type thing after a large petition to have the game made backwards compatible. No idea on Jade Empire though - probably just cuz it was a great game.

But that's why they are there.

If the game is not BC they can't put it up for download unless they make the emulator for it and at that point why not just release a patch so people with the disk copy can play it?
