Topic: What does backwards compatibility mean to you?

Maybe you saw our new feature 'pX asks: ...' a couple of weeks back? Well, it's our new feature series where the pX staffers weigh in on current topics floating around in the gaming sphere. To highlight you, our community, we want you to be part of this as well...

If you're interested in being featured in a feature, then reply here and answer the question: What does Xbox 360 compatibility on Xbox One mean to you?. Will you use it often? Are you looking forward to it? What are your concerns about it? Your answer should preferably be short and sweetly wrapped up in one single paragraph. By Sunday, July 5th, I'll pick a couple of contributions that will feature in the next 'pX asks...' which should be published sometime early next week.

Go ahead, write something up! We want to know what YOU think.

For me it means that I will actually have all three consoles this gen, a first for me. It means that I will be able to have access to alot of my 360 library as well as a new library for the One. This announcement was huge and quite honestly, if Microsoft would have made this announcement 2 years ago at E3, I would have bought an Xbox One day one. I hope that it turns out well unlike the backwards compatibility for the Xbox 360 for Xbox games but the fact that they are going a digital route instead gives me high hopes for it. I also really like the fact that I will be able to still play online with my 360 friends. Well played MS well played.

Personally its of little to no importance to me. I still have my 360 set-up on my 2nd TV and I have rarely played on it since I upgraded but its there if I ever do. I kind of feel its more for those still with a 360 who are undecided as to which next gen console to buy. It makes the XB1 more appealing as you can play some of your old library whilst building up your new collection. I don't think I used the 360's backwards compatibility with the games from the original xbox. Its a nice feature but I can't see myself using it much unless the GwG games are backwards compatible and therefore offer me a new and free experience on either console.

For me, convenience. I can play all of my games from one machine. I can free up a space under my TV. All those Games with gold that I've got on memory sticks can now be on a nice shiny easy to use hard drive. The 360 can then either be sold or more likely, carefully boxed and consigned to the attic.

It doesn't mean anything to me. I had a PS3 instead of a an Xbox 360 during that generation of consoles and I have no real desire to go back to the games I missed from that time (there may be a few exceptions that I don't know about yet). Now, if it was compatible with the the original Xbox, then I would use it.

Not much unless the Games with Gold Xbox 360 titles end up being backwards compatible. I would probably end up playing them if that ends up being the case. PS3 was my system of choice last generation, and I played most of the 360 exclusives that I wanted to already.
