The Latest Scoop On 360's Fall Update.

Xbox 360
------------------------------

XBL Update

Official Xbox Magazine has the scoop on the Fall Xbox 360 dashboard update, and you better believe it's a doozy. UK-based CVG reports that the December 2 update will allow 360 owners to download and play Microsoft-published Xbox 1 games on their 360s.

Let's say that one more time: come December 2, you will be able to download full, original Xbox games to the Xbox 360. The initial list of available games includes Fable, Indigo Prophecy, Crimson Skies: High Road To Revenge, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex, Burnout 3, and, of course, Halo: Combat Evolved.

Games will cost approximately 1200 Microsoft Points, or $15 USD. Microsoft plans on re-releasing as many Xbox 1 titles as possible through Marketplace. Look out, Virtual Console.

This surely brings up the question on whether or not these games will boast the Achievement system that is currently present on Xbox 360 & XBLA games. And whether or not Halo 1 will feature online play (but it would seem very logical to do so).

I heard that the achievement system is quite easy to add so its highly possible that they could add it into the old games quite easily. That would be extremely interesting and add a whole new side to some old classics. Makes me wonder what the file sizes will be like for whole games though. Sounds very interesting i must say, +rep for finding this before me.

Yeah, it would definitely be awesome, as i could finally get back into playing my old Xbox games like Ninja Gaiden and DOA Ultimate. But that also makes me wonder if they'll apply an Achievements update patch for those who already own the game disc of those games.

Its another possibility that could again increase sales and playing time on old classics.
