Well, we get updates every month, along with new B/C games, so that's going to happen regardless.
And you can purchase B/C games through the console. You just can't use your MS points, for some reason. That may change soon, but you can definitely buy them. I picked up Castlevania, and also Saints Row with GWG. Both of those I got through the X1. I didn't have to go to the website or boot up my 360.
You can use points, but only on the 360.
Hmmmm, now, I don't know if this works, but if you're on your X1, you may be able to boot it up in 360 mode when playing a 360 game, and buy a game there? I'll try that out later tonight. We'll see.
I know it's early but any news or rumors about reveals for the X1 at E3 besides upgraded models? Like another new dashboard update,new big apps,features or bc games being purchaseable through consoles?
Kinda. You have to start a B/C game up, and then you have the option of using the 360 dashboard, since you're running a 360 game. I've done it before, but I don't know how extensive it is. You may not be able to access the area where you can purchase games. I'll look at it later tonight.so there's a 360 mode on the X1 that you can boot up?
