hi guys as you can tell im new to this forum. When i read this thread i had to reply. First of is about the backward compatibility as it was said near the begining of the tread why not its not that microsoft cannt afford it and that it cannt be done. But look at all the emulators for the pc theres 1 for every console out there inc. the PS2 and xbox. If they dont make it backwards compatable I think it would just be pure lazyness by microsoft. And all this b*****ks about not having an HDD it hasnt been confermed yet so whats the point in beliveing somthing some other web site has printed. As far as i know the only thing that has been confermed from microsoft so far is the ATI chip will be a customized radeon chip, It will be using the XNA programing lang (or what ever it is called) Which will allow them to develop xbox, xbox 2 and pc games side by side so they can release the games at the same time so pc users can play xbox and xbox 2 players online with each other and it will have support for live gaming and yes it will be flippin powerful.
And just to answer the question How can xbox and xbox 2 users play againsed Pc users? well for the ppl who dont know yet microsoft will be releasing the xbox live sevice to pc users (dont ask when as i dont know )
