:w00t: What is most interesting is the fact that these would clearly need a HD and MS wasn't afraid of angering those who haven't don't have one yet.

The Official Xbox Magazine is reporting that the next Xbox 360 dashboard update will allow owners to download original Xbox games.
Titles such as Halo, Fable, Crash Bandicoot, and Burnout 3 will be available via Xbox Live Marketplace for approximately 1,200 Microsoft points.


Although Microsoft has not officially confirmed the news, according to the magazine the company plans to make more of its original Xbox back catalog of titles available in the future.

Little update on this along with Scotts Thread:

Xbox Originals not perfect on 360 - CVG.com

CVG said:
Just like when you slip an old Xbox game disc into your Xbox 360, the games will run using software emulation which, by its very nature, causes all sorts of problems. MS has already documented these known issues ahead of the big December 4 launch.

Halo suffers from "very mild frame rate drops", so that's not so bad. Crimson Skies crashes if you select certain options such as the demos and trailers within the game, and some text goes missing.

Texture and sound issues haunt Fable, while Phychonaughts will throw a wobbly if PAL users with HDMI outputs are running 720p. Only 1080i and 1080p modes are supported.

Another update
Xbox Originals Won't Have Achievements on 360

We were all hoping that the downloadable Xbox Originals would come complete with brand-spanking new Xbox 360 Achievements, and some sites even reported that they would, but sadly that's not the case.
Here's Microsoft's official word:
These are the original games that were created before Xbox 360. In order to preserve the integrity of the original gaming experience they provide, they will have the features available at the time of their initial release.
​
I believe I speak for everyone when I say, "Boo, hiss." If you can't give us Achievements, could you at least patch up those 'known issues' ?

I dont doubt there are some people of course but with it being the Xbox's main flagship title there wouldnt be a huge amount. Most people who havent played it have no intention of doing so or it doesnt appeal to them. Hope the list is quite extensive and includes a good range of titles.
