message: It would be lovely if anyone knew of any other First of Second Party games to add to the list, a more uniform (8 titles in each column) would show more diversity and Microsoft's support.70.101.201.248 22:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest limiting to 8 titles per division, 24 titles in total. Either critically acclaimed or exclusive. I get this odd feeling that in a couple of months we will have the full list of games in the table just because people want to add their own favourite titles there. -- ReyBrujo 14:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 8 titles is terribly limiting when it comes to 3rd party titles. And anything relating to exclusiveness shouldn't be included. And as a note to the users who keep try to "make each section the same size", stop. The reason the first 2 sections have 8 is because there are no other possible things to add, at current, 1st/2nd party is a COMPLETE listing. 3rd party isn't, and is open for changes, but those should NOT be removing games. Showing 8 titles to showcase an entire consoles library? Terrible idea.74.33.0.16 00:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game Library 

message: We had a discussion about this on the Wii article's talk page, and sort of wanted to bring some of that here. This article's infobox doesn't list the Xbox 360 as being backward compatible with the Xbox, unlike the Wii article and the Gamecube, and the PS3 article and the PS2/PS1. Now, while the Xbox 360 obviously isn't binary compatible with the Xbox, that's a seperate definition from backward compatibility. The Backward compatibility specifically says that a product is backward compatible if it can act as a replacement for the other product, ie. can use the original media made for that predecessor product. The Xbox 360 does that, even if it does it through emulation. The only discussion I could find on this in talk archives was on binary compatibility, so my apologies if this has been addressed already and I simply didn't find it. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 20:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: after that tirade, it appears that this was already in the article. However, it was using "backwards=Xbox" rather than "compatibility=Xbox", so it wasn't showing. Blah blah blah. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 20:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd would be lovely if someone who is fluent in Referance attribution could fix up our referances. They are missing a lot of the attributes that should be there.70.101.201.248 01:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikify Referances

message: I failed this article because:
*No references in Xbox Live and Interface section.
*A lengthy bulleted list in the Hardware section
*Few pictures in Overview, Xbox Live, and Software section.

replies: text: According to the criteria, a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status. So no need to turn on "insert-picture" mode, just concentrate on the other stuff. -- ReyBrujo 18:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: List of Xbox 360 games without region encoding has been deleted for some reason. Can anyone who knows how to request undeletion do so?

message: Was there a critiscism section recently deleted? I could have sworn i saw one with at least 3 subsections. Only curious if this was vandalism or something (or if it even existed) Mr toasty 03:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They belong in the articles to which they were critisizing, and the Dreamcast comparison was very trivial and not even critisms but a comparison.70.101.201.248 08:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This straw poll is to flesh out some consensus on the debate over whether to include a list of games (or what kind of list to include) for the console.
Please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) under the position you support, preferably adding a brief comment. If you are happy with more than one possibility, you may wish to sign your names to more than one place. Extended commentary should be placed below, in the section marked "Discussion", though brief commentary can be interspersed.
* Include list of "some popular games" current example
** Have a list, though I think some introduction to popular/exlusive franchises would do as well. Kenimaru 23:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Discussion resulting from the survey would go here.  If there were a significant amount, it might be moved to a talk page instead.
I have added this survey to Wikipedia:Current surveys, and at the WikiProject Computer and video games, as the result could be used as precedent for other game articles. Sorry for the delay between both notifications, my connection went down and was just restored. -- ReyBrujo 05:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
