MS no longer sees a financial advantage to adding BC support to more games than are already compatible. I for one don't care because as long as Halo 1 and Halo 2 are BC then I am set.
I haven't seen an update for awhile and i'm worried i'll have to re-purchase an X-Box since I was stupid enough to sell mine and one of my favorite games and a game I really want to play (Deus Ex and Riddick) aren't on the list.
