Personally, I’ve been waiting for Panzer Dragoon Orta, Breakdown, Oddworld and Phantom Dust backwards compatibility support since the 360 came out, so this is a significant update for me. Now if only Microsoft would add some other games like The Chronicles of Riddick, Stranger’s Wrath, Kingdom Under Fire, Otogi and Sudeki I’d really be a happy camper.
