DEATH2000 · 05-16-2005, 06:54 PM

im just happy it comes out before the PS3. and HALO 3 may come out around this time next year

**komodo** · 05-16-2005, 08:23 PM

$300 would be an amazing price for that. The processor alone probably costs half of that wholesale.

**EnvyM3** · 05-17-2005, 10:15 AM

So can you or can you not play the old XBOX games on the new 360 console? I have heard different things...

**ChrisWorrell** · 05-17-2005, 10:24 AM

It HAS to play old games, it would just be stupid if they didnt, hell just make it so it plays at the same quality as the old games, its not like its hard, hell they have enough processing power to do whatever the hell they want

Agreed, I wasn't sure if there were any factual statments declaring its ability to play old games.
