Still just a rumor, I guess...but its looking good.

I certainly hope so but if not I still have my xbox which I'll be keeping so it's not that big a deal.

epobirs is famous!

This will be awesome if true because I've never played xbox before (other than for 10 minutes at a friend's house or kiosk or something) and I know I'm missing out on some great stuff like Halo, KOTOR, Splinter Cell, etc. These games should be had on the cheap by then too!

Here's hoping...

I am kind of hoping for this as well. I don't have an XBOX and it will give me an excuse to get the XBOX 360.

If this is true, Xbox 360 will be moving up on my want list. Currently it's toward the backend of my next generation que, but since I really need to replace my Thompson xbox I might as well just wait and grab the 360 sooner then I expected.

Epobirs is just too damn smart. The guy needs to build his own console.

I'm hoping for backwards compatibility. I think it makes a big difference to whether or not a lot of average gamers buy it early. Especially moms and dads buying it for their kids. They're more likely to plunk down the money knowing that there's already a huge library of games available.

I hope so, becuase I don't want to lug my Xbox along into the next console war. But, doesn't that disprove the "Xbox 360 pics" that were posted before? Because, IIRC, those pictures showed no ports for controllers. Unless, they aren't really going to change the controller much, and we are forced to use the newer controllers for our older games...

If this does turn out to be true, I might actually want to sell off my XBOX.

BUT, does anyone know how much the XBOX memory cards hold?
Because I'd be willing to sell it off if I can keep my saved games......and who knows if the XBOX memory cards will be compatible with the new system.....argh

I know that the current Xbox memory units are pieces of expensive shit. I bought one, thinking I could transfer to a new Xbox, if needed, or to transfer in the future to the 360. They hold 500 blocks, but a lot of games won't transfer over! (Especially the ones I want to move over! ) I was very disappointed in that regard.

God, I hope this is true. I don't want to sell my system and all the games.

Tecmo games in particular seem to be notorious for it. You're better off getting the PSO USB keyboard adaptor and using a cheap jumpdrive as an Xbox mem. card.

I just bought an Xbox and some games, banking that this would happen.

Why would you do that anyway? I'll be keeping my Xbox, GC, and PS2 past when I get their successors, despite the fact that they will not be needed.

I really hope that the Xbox 2 does have BC.

I just hope the backwards compatibility works on ALL games and doesn't have exceptions like the PS2 has for PS1 games, and also hope that all the games that are HD compatible stay that way. It'd also be nice if they could improve disk data retrieval .....I'm sick of hearing my Xbox's disk drive speed up when a guard suspects something in Splinter Cell CT....

I guess that answers questions about Live too, if it's cross- compatiable across both generations, you shouldn't have to set up a whole new account.

i thought that if you bought the one with the hard drive you would have bc

If it has BC than I would think it's worth buying the one with the hard drive. Don't have to worry about memory space and you can transfer all your xbox saves. This way you'll be able to sell of your xbox if you want to (I'm not).
