Very useful, thanks. Was going off the wikipedia list for a random 360 game that I thought unlikely to be available digitally. Imagine the Official list you've linked will be more accurate.
Handy to know though. My thought was it could be cheaper to get second hand copies of the games at CEX and stuff rather than the digital copies, though not sure it would be enough of a saving to cover the additional cost of the X over the S. Do wonder if the second hand market will be effected with prices staying quite high for desirable titles for the first few months of the release of the new console. I do have a lot of Original and 360 games at my parents that I might fancy playing in the future, so that might force my hand too.

Yeah, the official list is definitely up to date. Worth noting that I believe the BC work is now finished meaning they're not adding any more OG Xbox or 360 titles in the future. I guess this could change if certain series or long-forgotten games get sequels or remasters (see them adding RDR when RDR2 was announced) so that list is pretty much final.
If titles you want to play aren't on that list, it doesn't matter if you own the disc, you're not playing them on the One X or the Series S/X. Only way to play those is by buying an OG Xbox / 360.

2011 is not on the BC list.
But tdf 2009 is.
But you can no longer buy the game digitally.
So you'd need the disc.
Any game released on Xbox One (minus Kinect games) will be compatible with the Series X either through the digital version if you already own it or any disc you're able to buy.
If you're only interested in Xbox One games and a few 360 games (that you can still buy digitally) then the Series S will be fine. If not, you'd need the Series X.
Also - there are some 360 games that are BC on Game Pass. You can have a look through the list here. Obviously these can change over time...
