They're going to be the exact same as the Xbox counterparts to "preserve the integrity of the experience" or something. Point is, don't expect additional features.

Okay, then. What's your issue with it? You can still play those games on your original Xbox now as you could before.

The blocked out word was an alternative to homosexual. I just thought that it should run better on a 360.

Also, that brings up another question. How come the 360 can't be backwards compatible just as successfully as the PS2?

Because as with all emulation software ever released, it's not 100% perfect. PS3 has problems with backwards compatibility, and I'm not sure but I think the PS2 had some too.

Come on. You know as well as anyone that the supported backwards compatible games likely cover every title you own, and that there isn't one game you absolutely love and want to play on your 360 that isn't supported.

Since the console runs on a different system, they had to use emulation software, which has imperfections.

Also, the PS2 was not a massively new system. It was a PS1 with upgraded hardware. The 360 is a fundamentally different console. It was built from the ground up, and backwards compatability is no where near the same as it would be for the PS1-PS2 change.
