But more importantly, how much will the first gen Xbox be reduced to when the 360 comes out?

 

[chriswill]

Are they backwards compatable do you know?

Some one told me a while ago that origianal xbox games could not be played on the 360.
Even microsoft aren't this stupid, surely.

As far as I am aware the - slightly odd - official line is that some games will be, others not........

[fubert]

You can find the answers about its backward compatibility on my thread unlike this skanky one!

So now the Xbox 360 20GB is £148 on amazon and the 60 GB is £159.

So should I save £11 or what?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

And you can get the elite for just over £200. Tempting...

40 gigs is well worth 11 quid I reckon

What is the advantage of the elite over the middle one?

 

[Addy]

A bigger hardrive - 120GB

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Is that all! Sounds like a lot of extra wedge for 60 extra gigs.
