I had a question about backwards compatible games for the 360. I had a 360 last year around September. However, it broke, so I returned it for a refund. I am eagerly awaiting the new, smaller chipset in the 360s to come. Yet, I might break down soon to get the new Elite. My question is, I remember playing some backwards compatible games such as Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Forza, yet, I had black side bars on my TV. I do have a Wide Screen HD TV as well. I was wondering if there are black bars for every BC game, or can I fix this within the 360 options or my TV options. Thanks in advance.

Odd, you should have been able to fix that in the tv options using aspect ratio.

But also make sure your Xbox 360 widesceen settings are correct too.

Alright, thanks. Yeah, I guess I didn't check my options when I had the system. Oh well, will be getting another one soon though, and hopefully I can get around it.
