RE: holes in the BC library, the inability to get a great deal of games added to the list, whether due to licensing issues or publisher disinterest (particularly with Japanese games), is why I’ll have to keep an Xbox 360 forever to play half my physical library. It’s a shame, because Cave getting their stuff added to the BC library would probably be enough for me to upgrade to a Series X on the spot.
Yep, I still have a 360, ostensibly so I can go back and play some stuff like Alpha Protocol that never hit BC.
That said, the experience to start a game, and go between levels, feels like going back to a VIC 20 with a tape drive after the loading speeds of the Series X. So we’ll see if ever actually DO finish these games.
Yeah, going from the Xbox One to the 360 wasn’t a big deal. Going from Series X to the XB1 or 360 feels like an enormous burden at this point. It just feels so slow.
I remember hearing, “in the '90s, the idea of playing a video game through the internet on a cell phone was maybe in science fiction books and not a legal consideration.”
I would like the Tiger Woods golf games on BC but that ain’t ever happening
That sucks.
Given how much lag Atmos adds on my equipment, not sure it’s a huge loss. I couldn’t even use media apps with Atmos on until they added pass-through in the latest update, the audio lag was so bad.
It’s horrible on my LG soundbar. Not as bad on the Denon receiver upstairs, but still noticeable.
I really hope they solve this. It’s never fun when multiple manufacturers are involved in the pipeline.

Fake News! :-)
I may be totally dumb here, but isn’t it better for me, as someone who has Dolby Atmos, for it to be used by everyone? So that more devs then make games that leverage it?
Seems like making such a thing exclusive to a particular console would actually be worse for customers of that platform…but again, I may just be too naive to understand what’s going on.
In fairness, I have a license to Atmos on my XBox, which I got for like $8, and I barely even understand what it’s doing. The idea that I had to buy the license and decide that kind of thing as an end user was super weird to me.
Yes of course it shouldn’t be exclusive to one console. And it isn’t, that rumor was wrong.
It wasn’t exactly a rumor, it was from an official Xbox site, but yes it was wrong.
Sony doesn’t want to pay Dolby licensing. Sony have promoted their own standards over Dolby for years. Sony makes their own solutions for movie theater sound systems, virtual surround for headphones, and virtual surround for sound bars.
Microsoft has nothing to do with it.
Much appreciated! Thanks!
Finally was able to secure an xbox. Slightly less painful than a gpu or plywood.
Heads up, looks like a pretty big sale is coming Friday. Games, hardware, all that stuff.
Well, who knows …
Yeah I saw some rumors bubbling up. Might be announcing some new acquisitions this Sunday.
Another Game Fest demo-palooza is coming next week:
