Where the Xbox 360 falls short

By Vladimir Cole

Gamestay, a site for the "grown up gamer" has posted a rant that makes a coupla good points about the Xbox 360's lack of backwards compatibility with regards to saved game data. Here's the argument in condensed format:

  • There are no options to transfer your original Xbox saves (you'll have to re-earn all your DOA Extreme Beach
    Volleyball swimsuits    , for instance)

  • Hard disk failure means that saved data will eventually be lost (unless you're running a modded Xbox)

  • Microsoft doesn't want to support transfer of saved game data or backwards compatibility because it would
    depress sales of Xbox 360 titles if people were still playing old titles

Do you agree with this rant?
