The Xbox 360′s latest backwards compatibility update (which commenced in November, 2007) may have been its last. According to a post in GameDaily, group marketing manager Albert Penello told Kotaku that while the Xbox originals (popular Xbox games available for download on Xbox Live) are still going strong, the backwards compatibility updates will be “winding down”. Citing relatively low numbers of downloads and “hitting the point of diminishing returns” as the chief reasons for the change in policy, Penello made the point that most of the popular titles are now available (with a few notable exceptions).
With all the supposed issues plaguing the Xbox originals line, one would think that MS should step up and deliver on the promise of a near-complete backwards compatibility. Well, in this case, Xbox 1 owners should keep their old consoles handy and dust-free.

This is complete crap. Once they start releasing some worthwhile titles under the XBOX Originals brand I will gladly download them but so far it has been a bunch of crap. Good going MS!
