    A non-malicious question:

    My neighbour does not have any original Xbox game,and I’m having a hard time finding an answer;
    does the 360 upscale to 720p the original xbox games like the ps3 do with PS2 titles? or soften textures or whatever.

    The only xbox game that I’ve played on my 360 is Halo 2, and it plays the same way as if I were playing it on my original xbox, but with that inmind not all xbox games can be played on the 360, for a list of the xbox games that you can play on a 360 you will have to visit xbox.com.

    Thanks for the answer.
    Honestly, It seems cheesy to me that having a good onboard upscaler, and using an Intel chipset instruction set aswell, emulation is not smooth as butter.
    Meh, Sony screwed big time with the nonretro 40Gb affair too.They’re just pushing us to buy it all over again.

    WTF am I saying,360 uses 3 G5,its PPC architecture.Sorry.

    I’m still waiting for Halo:CE to have online matchmaking! Otherwise, I see NO point in even buying it at 1/2 price!
