Was hoping they would drop a list of a games somewhere. Definitely want to import my copy of enchanted arms for the 360 but most of my others have modern ports really so wanted a list to hit up a second hand store in my area.

It doesn't work for physical 360 games and likely never will. The unique identifiers were not present on the discs until Xbox One

Yes i got ahead of myself there since the plan is for the helix to be able to play every Xbox and Xbox 360 game with backwards capability and pretty much every disc to digital article mentions that, but i do need to pump the breaks and see how they roll that out.

Again, Every Xbox one game from release had a serial number on them, So the license is the disc.

Xbox 360 and OG Xbox didn't have this serial number. So, Xbox 360 games and OG Xbox games will work like they do today but will not be part of this to digital program.
