shouldnt the xbox360 be able to play xbox games:

"The Xbox 360 has a 12x DVD-ROM drive that can read Xbox 360 DVDs and the usual optical media formats, such as DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 CD, and JPEG Photo CD."

xbox games are on dvd-r, which can be used in the 360. so why do people say you cant play them on the 360?

i think that the xbox games are being changed to be able to run on the xbox360, but normal xbox games that havent been changed cant run on it.

both cosules will be fully backwards compatiable


This is what i found on the MSNBC site, regarding the consoles and their backwards cap.

MSNBC.com
Quote:
Microsoft offered further details of its own next-generation console in a news conference Monday night, including the news that the Xbox 360 would be backward compatible with approved games for the original Xbox
Sorry , looks like it isnt completely backwards.

Oh yeah, sorry, and here is the site http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7875859/page/2/

its all nividias fault becuase they wanted to charge more for the cards orgianlly, so microsoft could not seel there cosnoles as cheap and when they did lower the price the were loosing moeny on every machiene sold. thats why microsoft chaged cards. my next pc card wil be a RADION LOL.

Look at it this way though it 10 years if i do get my xbox out coverd in dust from the atic to have a balst and it dosent work, i will probally be able to get the emulators for it then or something, (hopefully). or i could just store it in a nuclear safe box, inside and electromagnetic bomb proof shelter, then it may survive.

a funny thing is my mega drive, snes, master system and c64 all still work however my dreamcast dosent LOL, i will have to wait for the emulator LOL, they dont make games consoles like they used to

Hi the xbox 360 will only play xbox games whit a hardrive so you need it if ur gonna replace the old one, and microsoft said u can play their "best selling games" i dont know if thats ONLY best selling games or just everigame but they wanted to call it that, and some ppl take it too seriously, n-e ways, about the nvdia/ati stuff microsoft will probaly end up buying the rights and stuff, is not like they dont have enough money to take such a risk as not letting ppl play halo on xbox 360
