Are you the kind fo person who likes to keep your games, and play them on a new version on the console when possible? Well if you are, I would think again before getting rid of your old console.

Microsft's Peter Moore stated that for their newest console, the X-Box 360, backwards compatibility would be ditched, meaning if you plan on getting rid of your old X-Box, but keeping your games, you are in trouble.

Basically, you will not be able to play these, as Microsoft say it is 'too complicated. Here is the statement released:

 

"Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under promised and over delivered on that. It's a very complicated thing... very complex work. I'm just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible."

He added: "more are coming, but at some point, you just go, there's enough, let's move on, or people aren't as worried about a game being backwards compatible - and I like to think we've upheld our end of the bargain in making at least two or maybe three hundred games backwards compatible."

Wow.... thats a bit bold so say basically that nobody cares about backwards compatibility isn't it?
