@Blacksilver83 That's changed, unfortunately. Used to be the case, but isn't now. You need to continue to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber in order to carry on playing GWG titles. :/
@Ufaowl Sadly, that is the case. They require you to "prove" that you owned an Xbox 360 by signing in with your Xbox 360 at least once, before they'll let you register Xbox 360 titles on the Xbox.com store.
Only way to do it if you don't have a 360, is to get someone else to log in for you on their console.
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi It's a totally different franchise. They've been duking it out for a couple years now and it looks like this one could be a great step forward if the gameplay video is anything to go by.
I think a lot of this is down to the fact that BC titles don't seem to be able to be patched.
Note - that isn't confirmed. I'm just working on the basis that in the Preview Program this week, there was an update to Jetpac Refuelled that required players to delete and then redownload the entire thing (including the emulator, so the download weighed in a lot more heavily than just the game alone would have been.)
I'm wondering if this is a one-off, or if BC games just can't be patched for some reason. If that's the case, then putting the games on the disc may be something of a waste of time what with BC still technically being in development.
@Diamond78 We've JUST got a press release through about it, and it says this...
"Each game in the PROTOTYPE BIOHAZARD BUNDLE includes exciting content and features for fans and newcomers to the series alike. Both titles have been updated for a new generation of hardware with Full HD rendering, improved framerate, and higher-resolution textures and effects. Moreover, PROTOTYPE 2 contains all of the DLC that came with the original RADNET Edition of the game, as well as the majority of in-game content previously offered through retailer pre-orders."
Can you download TV episodes/movies bought on Xbox 360, on Xbox One? Yes. If you bought them via Xbox Video, then your library will be available on your Xbox One.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to play your downloaded games/watch your downloads? Nope. As long as you're playing the games on your "Home" console (which is what Microsoft calls your main console) then you can play without a connection. Not sure about downloaded movies, but I assume it's the same thing.
@Tasuki Regards to Driveclub drifting, I'm in the same boat. I'm pretty good at the rest of it, but drift events? Forget about it. Just cannot hold a drift properly to save my life!
@JaredJ The reason for that is that Wii games aren't being republished. You just put the Wii disc in and the Wii U runs it from the disc via emulation.
On Xbox One, they need to actually repackage the software - even if you're using a disc-based copy - so you can download the Xbox One compatible version. That needs the original publisher's permission. :/
@flameboy84 I've no idea how the Rare Replay specific features would work with them, but I can see the logic behind it all.
End of the day, if you're repackaging the games to work as backwards compatible titles on the system, I guess it saves time to just access those, rather than repackaging them again to work within the confines of Rare Replay. Like I say though, I might be totally wrong! I just heard it worked that way from someone at E3.

@PacificMustang I was straight in on R/C Pro Am, R/C Pro Am 2, and Slalom. Loving it!
Re: Gamescom 2015: Train Simulator Rolling Onto Xbox One

@Ryno Given the general attitude over there, that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Re: Don't Panic! Rare Replay Games Can Be Played Full Screen and Without Borders
@jasper81 I've narrowed it down to Blast Corps and RC Pro Am 2. Even narrowing it down to two took a while to figure out!
Re: New Edge of Eternity Screens Show Promise
@EternalDragonX I'm going to assume that it's the time of day, but I might be wrong.
Re: Extended Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Gameplay Demo Unveiled
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi It's a totally different franchise. They've been duking it out for a couple years now and it looks like this one could be a great step forward if the gameplay video is anything to go by.
Looking forward to trying it!
Re: After the Revolution: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
@Sanqet There have been problems with Xbox Live this weekend preventing sign in. Should be OK now though, we're told.
Re: Review: Don Bradman Cricket (Xbox One)
@Stevesprange Not as far as I'm aware. Multiplayer sure, just not split screen.

Great review - I'm enjoying the game. Like @flameboy84 says...lot of character here. Really nicely put together title to while away a few hours
Re: Rumour: DiRT Showdown Sequel Coming to Xbox One?
@jongred I'd agree with that. I just felt that Showdown was really limited for what it was.
Re: FIFA 16 Gameplay Innovations Trailer Begins to Build the Hype
@Red620Ti Well of course I do. Lucozade Sport and a good night's sleep before the game.
Re: FIFA 16 Gameplay Innovations Trailer Begins to Build the Hype
@Red620Ti I only follow one motto in life, and that's simply that you can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line.
Re: Xbox One Loses June to PlayStation 4 in US, Wins E3 Week
@twins Xbox One fans are indeed used to it, given that it's happened almost every month since the two consoles came out...
Plus, it's still selling faster than the 360 was at this point in its lifecycle, so it's all good.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Spotted for Preorder on Xbox One
@EternalDragonX No, 'cos I'd pay it too.

Re: pX Asks: What Does Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility on Xbox One Mean to You?
@JLPick Hey there...I'll do my best to help
Can you download TV episodes/movies bought on Xbox 360, on Xbox One? Yes. If you bought them via Xbox Video, then your library will be available on your Xbox One.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to play your downloaded games/watch your downloads? Nope.

Not sure about downloaded movies, but I assume it's the same thing.
Hope this helps!

Re: Updated: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
@Tasuki At this point, we don't know. We're assuming that this is the lot for the week.
Re: Prototype 2 Remaster Could Be Hitting Xbox One Next Week
@jongred Was pretty decent. I preferred the original though, myself.
Re: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
@ANGRYBALDMAN666 No idea. I would suggest you get in contact with Microsoft about that one.
Re: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
@narcoss From that list, LEGO Batman and Terraria would be good choices.
Re: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
@DabaTheDoom As far as we're aware, yes, these will run for the length of the sale.
No idea on KI characters. A good chance, I'd say.
Re: Xbox Ultimate Game Sale Starts Early
Updated the list

Re: HTR+ Brings the Spirit of Scalextric to Xbox One
@Kohaku Well it's available on Steam for PC, so I'd imagine that it'll just be a port over to Xbox One.

Re: Xbox One Backward Compatibility Will Support DLC
@zip Indeed, I misspoke. The Wii U runs Wii games via hardware. Don't know what I was thinking there.
Re: Microsoft Announces Forza Motorsport 6 Limited Edition Console and Controller
@Blakey75 Indeed you can - the controller can be ordered separately.

Re: Come Watch An Extended 15 Minutes of Gameplay From Rise of the Tomb Raider
@Anthinator No, as with every other Tomb Raider story we write, he's referring to the game's expected eventual release on PS4 in 2016.
Thinking of getting a big sign that says "We get it."
