Old Xbox games don't actually work on the 360?

How gay is that.

I had to stay in today, so I thought I'd pass the time by bashing a bit of Half Life. Seeing as there isn't actually a decent story based game out on the 360 yet, that doesn't involves some sort of gay Oblivion shit or horrid game play.

Nope.

Ok, a bit of Hitman.

Nope.

Ok, the other Hitman.

Nope.

Splinter Ce...

...Nope.

What I found to be really intriguing, was the error message. It's something along the lines of ''You need an update, check on Xbox live's webpage''. Eh, why? Surely if there was an update, it'd be no good to me on their webpage.

Save me the millions of reasons as to why we can't play Original Xbox games, and why we wouldn't want to and why you're all such fickle minded cunts. It's not about why. I know why, it's to generate revenue for the 360 market.

It's just fucking homo slash gay slash faggot, because I gave away my original xbox controllers.

How much longer am I going to have to wait for a decent FPS to follow up COD2 and a nice, plain old fashioned shooter with a nice SINGLE PLAYER MODE?

Crackdown is boring.
Gears is boring and my disk is fucked on the very last level, so I can't even do Insane.
I'm bored of Hitman
COD2 is boring. There's too many clans. I don't want to be a clan, I want to shoot you and swear at you.
Where is the new Half Life?
Where is that shitty Medal of Honour game? I'd actually buy that, sadly.
I don't care about GTA...

I'm growing tired of Live. The only way Live is good is if my friends play it, but they all play Pro Evo now on single mode...

half life doesnt work on the 360 cuz halo life 2:orange is coming to the 360..so i guess its a " conflict of interest"

the problem is the orignal xbox chip was made by intel..while the 360 has an IBM chip..so games made on the intel chicp just wont work on a different chip..so MS has to emulate the software to make it work on a diff chip

to a normal consumer..everything i said prolyl sounds like " BLAHBLAJBL:ABLAHYBKAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBL AH"

but its hard work...and it makes sense..and im surpsied they got as many games workign as they have...but i can understand why it wud upset peopel tho..but i dont think peopel realize how much of a bitch it is to get every single game to work nicely with a different chip in a totally new machine. and i dont think they care.

with playstation watt hey do is actually put the oldchip in the new systems..so the ps2 had a ps1 in it..and the ps3 is ( supposed to ) have a ps2 and a ps1 chip in it...so it makes emulation not needed. but it also means they have to stay with the same chip manufacturer...

and as for 360 shooters u might wanna try out rainbow six or GRAW, i got GRAW2 a few weeks back but just got a chance to play it the other day...man that shit is insane. and im not evena shooter fan like that...

HL will prolly work after HL 2 comes out. Like they did with Elder Scrolls. When Oblivion first came out the first one didn't work, now it does. For some reason I can't think of the name of it right now.

I love how they updated GREAT games like Big Mutha truckers...

Yeah it's really gay.

Yeah, my brother is supposed to be picking up GRAW2 today. I've shyed away from GRAW because I've heard it's a bit point and click, but I'll be giving it ago. Apparently it's sick online too.
