I didn't know you could hide them.

I see some new 360 games like gears & fallout but am not gonna bother until I have what I paid for back & in full swing.

Yeah it used to be if you hit the "menu" button it would bring up a list and "hide" was one of them. It was nice for games that I finished and uninstalled. Kept the clutter down.

Fallout 3 & Mass Effect aren't showing up for me. Not sure why.

Good! I'm not a fan of the dashboard. Too much clutter and advertisements.

804/1763 songs are showing up in game.

Are you talking about backwards compatibility?

I wish. (I have an external 4TB)

When I booted up console, the new OS had already been installed.

First I noticed games were missing from My Games & Apps. The pictures though. The tiles were there where the game should have had an image but instead was a blank tile with the games name shown. I highlighted the tile, pressed menu & selected view in MS Store. It shows Install. I pressed A on that & the game was installed & good to go within seconds. Also the picture came back of the game tile.

So that had me concerned over Rock Rand 4 game since I have all their songs. Once I hit manage game, I noticed the add-ons were being added because the file size in the management screen kept increasing. It finally stopped at 65.8GB. When I booted up game afterwards, the game only found 800+ songs or files. There are over 1,750 songs in RB4. There is an easy way to get your songs back with the old MS Dashboard. The in-game store shows you what is purchased & what is installed next to the song name. If it showed purchased, alls I did before was press A on it & the MS install prompt would pop up. Made it a lot faster to add your purchased songs to the game.

Now when you try the same thing, that MS prompt does not give you the option to install. Rather it says the song is in your Games & Apps already with one option.. "Close"

So of the 1,750 songs, the ones that made it over to installed were entirely random. So this is what I'd have to do *1,750+* times to get my songs back,

1) Games & Apps
2) Highlight RB4
3 Manage Game
4 Select first add-on tile
5) Select view in MS Store
6) 50/50 chance that song is not installed, if not press A
7) Back out to where my add-on screen

Rinse & repeat these 7 steps 1,778 times.

Played Horde mode on Gears 2 last night from my XBox One and man it was so much fun. I forgot how enjoyable that mode is. Hooked up with some randoms and ran 30 waves before we died. Good times!

I loaded a lot of arcade games from my 360 cloud last night, and when I clicked on one (Earthworm Jim HD, for example), it said "We're getting your game ready!", timed out, and said, "Something went wrong."

Did that with 4 games so far. Way to go, Microsoft.

How come Microsoft needs the publishers' approval for backward compatibility and Nintendo doesn't with the Wii/Wii U?

[Derb]

Come to the conclusion that Xbox One has a Cloud limit.

It's the only reason why it found 800 files instead of 1750 files.

Been trying to rack my brain to figure out what is the quickest way to get my RB4 songs back & came to this conclusion.

Delete Game
Delete All Add-Ons
Install Game only
Re-purchase songs from the in-game RB4 store for free 1 at a time.

This will involve having to re-download all files. If I had a data cap, I'd be pissed.

I think when it's hardware BC like PS2 was with PS1, PS3 was with PS2 and how every Nintendo system has been on the same patth hardware wise as it's predecessor there's no issues. That's the only thing I can think of.

Digital maybe?

The games have to get approved for both physical & digital. There may even be some licensing agreements that have to get sorted out & agreed upon due to this.

Use a code.
