We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Oh noes! The Xbox link has a spelling error. :O Here's the real one:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

Interesting discussion about the "backwards compatibility" of the system btw. I wonder how they will be adding more backwards compatibility for other games later..?

Oh noes! Tanks.
Apparently they are going to be adding to that list up until launch, but there really is no way for them to add this compatability later without updating the hard drive. That is, IF you have the hard drive. Actually, I don't think your games will even be backwards compatable without the hard drive, so you peeps who buy the crappy cheaper version are SOL.

Stupid xbox.
