Lucky! I'm Canadian, so I've been trying to win an XB1X off of Mtn Dew/Doritos codes. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I'll be in the same boat as you.
On-topic; what are the chances of Dishonored being made BC? I'd rather finish what I started on the 360 version than buy the XB1 version and start over.
The Xbox One S is the best way to play it. More stable framerate and no screen tearing. I thought it looked great! Digital Foundry compared them.

Let's! We should match up if it ever becomes BC. Then you will bare witness to my scrubiness
I've literally never won a game of Puzzle Fighter against any human opponent. Not once.
That game is my kryptonite.
Didn't Deadly Premonition suffer from some glaring technical problems in the 360 version that added to its charm as a 'disastrous yet good game'?
I'm only able to win against my wife because we basically employ the sam strategy. It also means she beats me half the time.
While I was downloading Deadly Premonition, I noticed they changed the cover of Shinobi to the Sega Master System box art with the white background. No more weird pic of Ken Oh downloaded from the internet anymore.
Just put a US Ninja Gaiden Black into my Euro XboneS and it downloaded it(strangely took a million years to download) and works fine.
Just started a play through of Ninja Gaiden Black. Only played the original. Those mage ninjas in the first stages are pretty damn cheap. I can't remember facing those in the original. Were those there? Very difficult to dodge their spell.
Also, is there any news on Sonic Generations coming to BC? I still haven't gotten around to playing it and I had to return my brand new gaming laptop, because it was a complete POS.

It's only a matter of time. SEGA has been awesome with their BC support and I feel positive that it should show up eventually.

They were there.
And they were also annoying.
Easily the stupidest boss fight in the whole game, too.
Thanks. My question was a little different though. I knew games were region free, but not which region was downloaded. And that can make a difference in some cases, like how the original Alice was included in Madness Returns or PoP2 in the Sands of Time, but only the US versions. Those games were removed from the PAL versions.
If you insert a US disc of Sands of Time in your PAL system, do you download an US (where PoP2 is included) or a PAL version of the game?
I don't think PAL/NTSC is a necessary issue in the world of HD, all of these games have additional programming that boosts them up to 1080p (with improved graphics, surprisingly). As for which version will be used, I'm just guessing but probably the US version given that Microsoft is mainly based out of the US and all of the BC development was in the US. Additionally PAL doesn't scale as easily to HD, it's not an integer uprez and framerate would be off too. Who knows, though, it may be impossible to tell without any notable differences.
Also Alice in Madness Returns was a download in the US on both 360 and PS3, so that technically wouldn't apply.
I know. A download you get in the US, which was removed from PAL regions. The question is, is it STILL removed in PAL regions if you use a US disc in an European system?
They won't shoot at you if they aren't in camera view. If they do shoot at you, you can block it. One arrow will take one down.
Yeah, you're right, the only way to tell would probably be to test it. The US version of Alice: Madness Returns works in PAL territories, as you have said. Guessing its a pretty slim audience.
XboneS was 190€ now, perfect time to pick it up just for BC and UltraHD bluray playback :D (and Cuphead)
Played some of the opening, picture quality is OK, it's a bit fuzzy at times because of the resolution and lack of AA, but load times are very fast. The framerate doesn't feel super smooth, but could be my imagination, will need someone to do an in-depth test to know for sure.
Super stoked to see that Deadly Premonition got added, biggest want now for 360 backwards compatibility would be Resonance of Fate. That game deserves to come forward.
It's actually the best looking and most technically sound version of the game imo (aside from the PC allowing for higher framerate and higher resolution with mods). Both of the Director's Cut versions suffer from missing textures, missing effects, weird art changes, new glitches, and other issues that just don't crop up in the 360 game. It's still pretty messy, but I prefer it to the other versions for those reasons.
You can block but it takes life. Difficult to avoid on every try as the timing is pretty unforgivable. Didn't try the arrow. Will have to give that a shot next time.
So we seriously won't be seeing Halo CE and Halo 2 until next spring at the earliest? That's nuts.
I had a PAL 360 version of Alice: Madness Returns, and I got a code for the first game. Was it a first print thing?
Yeah, I'm curious as to how much better the performance is. I've noticed that distant enemies still animate at lower frame rates than the rest of the action, so I'm sure that there'll be limits as to how much better this game can look in terms of smoothness, but I do think that this will be the best way of playing this game. I could never get into the Director's Cut versions. I hate the new cutscenes.
My god at the O)ne X upgrades for Fallout and Oblivion. There are screens in the DF Xbox One X thread. I am absolutely amazed what the BC team was able to do.
