I guess there's different sides to the argument really. Personally I didn't pay £300 to play previous generation games. I bought the 360 to play 360 games, so to me BC is a bonus feature. I can see why people do expect it to be 100% BC though, and it's an annoyance if you're left with having to run a 360 and a Xbox together to be able to play your library of Xbox games fully.
However, to make it truly BC they'd have had to do what the PS2 and PS3 do which is to effectively include the hardware of the previous gen' console inside the new console. A factor which would almost certainly push the 360 price up.
