In Response To: Re: an excellent article on backwards compatibilit (3Suns)

: I agree, though your post makes me laugh in that you and I, probably like
: thousands of others, think that the only game that anyone is really
: concerned about playing on the Xbox360 is Halo (and 2). ;)

: If I were in a position of authority over at Microsoft ::Flexes fingers::, I
: would forget about backwards compatibility and focus resources on (as if
: resources need to be taken off one thing and put on the other)

: 1) porting both Halos in time for Launch (or as close to launch as
: possible)and making them available for a reduced price as you suggest,

: 2)creating a 10 or 15 dollar mini game entitled "Halo: New
: Mombassa" (throwing continuity to the wind). It would be just a
: single level including the part of the city designed for the 2003 E3 Demo
: - and it would utilize the NovadeX SDK (Ageia's physics simulation) to
: power hundreds of objects in the environment - think epic battle that
: takes 2 or 3 hours to complete, but has great replayability. It need not
: be "New Mombassa", but that already has such consumer awareness
: that it is a great place to start, and it does have to be on Earth.

: Anyway, it is fun to dream.

: Cheers,
: Michael
: 3Suns

Hell, I would like to see just how many 360s they would sell if they bundled both Halos in at no additional charge :P
