well to be honest, if you own an X360 why would you still buy Xbox games?

if you owned a Xbox and sold it after buying a X360 you would only keep the games which ARE currently playable via the emulator.

there wont be games which are backwards compatible if there is the same game out on the X360 coz it doesnt make commercial sense.

my 2 cents.

Well I didn't own a xbox but now have a 360. I have always heard how cool halo 1/2 is and how nice ninja gaiden black is and as a result purchased them and I am playing them on my 360. NGB and Halo 2 also run in high rez so its quite nice.

that is exactly my same reason. For Halo2, which was not released on PC.
Played the first one on PC (rocked!!)
