Is it possible to play XBOX games on XBOX 360?

If so, then do you know how?

Thanks.

I heard from someone that something has to be downloaded. But I have no clue what is to be downloaded and, more importantly, how to download it.

There's the list and it's updated monthly it appears.

Easiest way is if you have XBox live. You just put the disc in and it works!

Speaking of playing regular Xbox games, I have found that the new 360 games are not 4 player friendly at all - when wanting to play on one TV with 4 people - like the old days.

So, I check that backwards compatible list and find quite a few 4 player games that work on the 360 and are much, much less expensive as well.

Just an FYI.

You need the premium 360 too, don't get the core system.

While I am reading I might as well ask...what's the difference?

yeah, it does everything for you, it's very nice...

and it's nice to use the bumpers instead of the black/white buttons, which were such a pain...

i wish they'd put mercenaries on that list of backwards compatible... that game is awesome

fable is good stuff though, and jade empire...
