not ALL games. Only certain ones. if you go to xbox.com/games there is a list of games that work. I know this because i tried NBA 2K6 from my original xbox into the 360, and it did not work. Microsoft is doing it to force you to buy newer 360 games //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The reason that a harddrive is needed , is that the games are actually ran through an emulator (ever played nes games on your PC? same thing)

They havent finished developing emulations for all games, and of course they arent going to develop one for every single games, but most of the ones that were popular and on Live

Does Halo 2 work on the 360 and can you plan on Xbox live with Xbox games on the 360?

Yeah, Halo 2 was one of the first emulations done for the 360, and yes, you can trasfer you live account over from your xbox to the 360

There you go. The constantly updated list of games that have emulators ready for download.

And, as mentioned, you need a 360 with a hard drive which is where the emulator is installed for each game.

Also, as mentioned, some games like Burnout Revenge won't have an emulator written for them. Instead, a new 360 version will be released to leech even more money off of me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Cliffnotes:

Yes and no, some games you can, but many games have problems...which people complain about.

I heard on TV one night when some channel was on that you can play some.

Man, thanks for that answer from the TV....without that, and reading what was ALREADY posted in this thread...i dont know what i would do!
