Ok I feel for you but you need to calm down. Only Xbox games I can play is the Halo games. All my other ones need to be updated.

I'm happy to have any backwards compatibility at all actually. Remember awhile back when all the rumors were saying it would be impossible because of hardware differences? It's better to have flawed BC than none, IMO...

Not me! I would rather have started playing San Andreas (as an example) on my regular XBox, because that would have allowed me to transfer saves from my home to my office consoles. If there was no compatibility, then I would have been forced to play it on my XBox, and wouldn't have this problem.

Sounds like Microsoft figured the majority would only have one 360, and wouldn't have your problem. I'd have to agree with Slacker, because when I do get a 360, I'll be in the majority.

Someone will eventually get backwards compatibility right..

They already did. The company is SONY! There PS2 was COMPLETELY backwards compatible with the PS1 and the PS3 will be 100% compatible with BOTH the PS2 and the PS1! So at this point in time, I have a GREAT DEAL more respect for SONY than I do for MicroSCUM.

Not even Sony had it perfect. PS2 memory card didn't work with PSX games. Believe it or not, but needing a PSX memory card has f'ed me over a couple times.

If there is only one Chiro and 2 boxes, couldnt he just take the hard drive and switch it back and forth?

**Hint, Hint.

A much easier problem to fix than this one, yes, but still not flawless. Not to mention I had the damnest time trying to find someone who still sells PSX MU's.

Besides fixing the actual 360 model, the only way I see them fixing this is with a USB Controller S. You'd be able to plug a Xbox 1 MU into the Controller S, and the Controller S into the 360. However, not many people are going to want to buy that much shit to transfer saves.

Maybe, but that's sort of my point. I, and MANY PEOPLE like me, adults who don't care what this kind of shit costs, WOULD buy all this stuff. But of course MicroSCUM, in their infinite stupidity and condescending approach to customer support, can't be bothered to create it.

The console has just been released though, shit like that takes time. They're still worried about getting consoles made right now, I'm sure in time this sort of thing will get more attention as more people ask about it. They've been pretty good about adapting and changing, just look at how they changed the controller from the Duke to the Controller S with the first Xbox. I just don't understand why you're getting so upset about something that really is only an issue to less than 1% of 360 owners at this point, those being the people with more than one of them...

Hell, I'd be more likely to be irked about not being able to transfer my saves from my Xbox 1 to my Xbox 360. Heck, half my games don't even work on my 360, like NCAA '06, Burnout 3, and Chronicles of Riddick. If they could find a way to transfer Xbox 1 saves from 360 to 360, they'd probably be able to transfer saves from Xbox 1 to 360... Maybe a USB controller S is the answer, like Gauge said. Even a USB attachment for the dongle and a downloadable driver or something...

Chiro just relax it is not the end of the world. Just be patient and these sort of issues will be fixed. Plus why cant you just take your hard drive out and swap it?

Before ChiroVette was affected by MS screwing up.

This leads me to believe that the reports of problems with the 360 are wild exaggerations at best, and that like ANY launch, while there are some defective units, the vast majority are just fine.

quote ChiroVette

*bleep* MicroSCUM and *bleep* their crappy ass bullshit attempts at backwards compatibility. This is one of the reasons that I think the PS3 is going to BLOW the doors off the 360, and now I am seriously hoping it does. Bunch of low life, dumbass corporate criminals. I really wanted to support this console. But between the shortages, the small number of titles that are backwards compatible and now this, MicroSCUM can kiss my ass.

lostprophetsfan, I don't know what you think you are "proving" that little quote of yours, except for the fact that you have an interesting way of taking what I said completely out of context. The post you quoted was referring to TECHNICAL problems, breakdowns and DEFECTIVE units. So I stand by what I said in that regard. This thread is an entirely NEW issue I have with the backwards compatibility of the 360 with my Xbox saves. If you can't see the difference between the two then I think you need to learn how to READ for actual comprehension. <eyeroll>



Chief, the idea of swapping out HDD's from one system to another every time I leave my home or office is not something I am willing to do. Basically what I have resigned myself to, for now at least, is to ONLY play San Andreas in my office and give up on trying to use the saves from one machine to the other. I am sincerely hoping that one of the Coidebreaking devices can be used for transferring saves from one machine to the other. I know that on the PS2 I was able to use a gameshark device to store saves on my PC's hard drive, so perhaps there is a way to use one of these cheat devices (even though I don't use cheat codes) to manipulate saves from one 360 to the other.

i knew you'd say something like that


im just saying one minute your all fine, and the next, you hate "MicroSCUM" when you can just carry the HD

it's nothing big, yur lucky you have a 360...
