If there was 100% backwards compatability I'd already own one but there is just not enough compelling content for the purchase. (you ppl are absolutely giddy about Doom... DOOM! on a Next Gen machine!) Laughable. If it was on a DS with 4 player WiFi then maybe. You can get the Doom Collector's Edition for around $10-20 (which inclds. Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom) and play it on any computer.
Also I've seen HD-DVD and DVD played split screen on a DLP tv and really this whole HD-DVD vs. BlueRay deal is beyond silly. Sorry to sound like a hater but the 360 just seems like a waste of dough.

A bland, generic game universe.
Introducing a new, next-gen game in a stale genre.
And being made by one of the kings of pumping out the same bland, generic RTS games again and again.
Awesome!

Oh, and is this really just Doom1 ? I'd much more like to have Doom2 / Final Doom.
