Backwards compatibility for European 360’s

I was not aware that European Xbox 360’s will have a different backwards compatibility list. However the games that I have that weren’t on the last list, are still not on this list either. I think the only differences will be that it takes out the games that were only released to the US. This is being updated as well so check back soon. The UK list has 156 games, while the US list has over 200
.
A good comment on the Joystiq post explains why the games list isn’t the same for the UK and the US:
Each game is not exactly the same for all regions. Especially in europe where the game has to be changed to the PAL system. Therefore the emulation is seperate for each version of the game as they don’t share the exact same code. A us version may run but a europe version will not necessarily.
