Earlier today, Microsoft kicked off E3 with an incredibly solid stage show. It delivered loads of new games, unveiled the crazy “Elite” customizable controller, and it even announced an early access program called “Xbox Game Preview.” But the most interesting part of today’s event has to be the introduction of local 360 backwards compatibility on the Xbox One.
