Here Are All the "P" Games: - Pariah
- Phantom Crash
- Pinball Hall of Fame
- Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
- Predator Concrete Jungle
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
- Pro Evolution Soccer 5
- Pro Race Driver
- Pump It Up: Exceed
- Pure Pinball
- Puyo Pop Fever
As you can see PSO-X has been left off of the list. However, this is not the final cut of original Xbox games that will be emulated for the 360. Microsoft IS adding more so you will need to check back occasionally to see if PSO-X makes the list. "kevlar_pso goes on to add: "This list does bring up and interesting question though. Perhaps there was a reason that PSO-X will not be playable on the 360. I know for a fact that MMO's will not require the Gold Xbox Live service. Seeing as how we have to PAY $8.95 a month on Xbox 1, minus the 2 free months in the trial period, could it be that Microsoft wants to steer more consumers towards the Gold Membership since PSO-X would only require the Free Silver membership? Or could it be something jucier, something far greater? Could it be that. . . .(gasp) PSU is in development for the 360? That Microsoft & SEGA want to pull in Phantasy Star players into Universe as opposed to Online which was ported from the GameCube which was ported from the Dreamcast? Hmmmm. . . .It's just a thought."

It does warm my heart though that they managed to put Phantom Crash on the list, hopefully PSO wont be too far off.
On a side note, Microsoft fails for not having Phantom Dust on the list. Who the hell even plays Phantom Crash?
If Sega has a similar strategy to Namco's, I would believe that PSU has a heavy chance of coming to 360 sometime in 2006.
Just my two bits.
