Now I can rest happily knowing that my stack of Xbox 360 games is not money wasted.

Shit-tier and old games currently. Now Sony, do full backwards compatibility with the PS4 and I’ll buy one.

These are currently supported downloadable games. I think if I read correctly that any disc you put in can then be played on XBone.

Honestly, it’s easier for them to implement than Microsoft’s 360 emulation route, since they have PSNow set up and stable. They just need have a database of what’s on the disc for their back catalog and once the disc is in, PSNow unlocks that title.

Or they could bury Microsoft completely on the issue, and get people actually using PSNow by saying the subscription on-demand Now library is now included with PSPlus.

That was huge news. Like “now I can finally justify buying a BONE” huge.

No

For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalog, simply insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive. After the game has finished downloading, you will still need to keep the game disc in the drive to play.

But they will update the catalog with more games later.

Xbox One Backward Compatibility is here. Now you can play a growing number of your Xbox 360 games on Xbox One at no additional cost. With over 100 titles slated for this fall, and hundreds more added every month, Xbox One is now the best place to play your Xbox 360 games. Experience the greatest games lineup in Xbox history—exclusively on Xbox One.

So you’re still streaming games which sucks. Or you make people pay to replay games they already own in worse quality. Sony have to match Microsoft or they have lost on this front.

I hope they don’t do that. Streaming video games sucks.

Step off Viva Pinata! It’s sorta amazing... You waste like 4 hours and don’t even know it. I got rid of a lot of my 360 games but it’s one of the few I kept hoping this day would come.

That was the justification too for me.
