UPDATE: 360 will play more than 200 Xbox titles

That's right! Microsoft announced on Friday that the new 360 platform will indeed play older titles.

As one would probably expect, MS also ensured that top Xbox games are also supported. Some of the titles supported include the Halo series, Star wars, the GTA's and many more. In total there are more than 200 that will play.

However, there is a catch. In order to play the regular Xbox games, you will need to load the game into the next-gen console and connect to Xbox live. The system will check for the software to run the title and if it does not exist, the system will download it for you.

Good stuff MS. I think the gaming community likes the direction we are headed so far.
