Default Backward Compatible

How will we know which games are backwards compatible. Will there be a list?
I don't want to do trial and error and possibly break my 360.

You won't break your 360 if you put a game in that is not compatible,you could stick a PS2 game in and all it will tell you that it's not compatible.

MS is suppose to release a BC list very soon! We're all still waiting. The only confirmations so far are the Halo's. Personally these are the only titles I'm concerned about.

I thought there were rumors that virtually all titles will be compatible. Hopefully they release the list before 11/22.

As long as I can play the Grand Theft Autos, the Knights of the Old Republic, and the Halos I think I'll be fine in all areas.

Any of the games that were "Platinum Hits", which were quite a few, will be compatible from the get go.

Microsoft are probably still working on the list. If the worst comes to worst, just trade in your Xbox and keep Shenmue until it eventually becomes backwards-compatable.

I didn't think you liked Shenmue anyway

What has been confirmed are that all games made by Microsoft Game Studios will be BC, and Bungie had a news release the other day about Halo and Halo 2.
And of course, if you don't have the Hard Drive, no BC for you.
