    Ive been known on occasion to pop in Battlefront 2 or Splinter cell into my 360 on occasion, and I love the fact that 360 gives you the ability to do so, even if its not every game. Do you ever pop in a old XBOX 1 game to play on 360?

    Before Halo 3 came out I played Halo 2 on my 360 more than any other game. After the release of Halo 3 I haven't touched it though.

    Burnout Takedown, XIII and The Suffering have all been played. I bought copies of Timesplitters 2 and Freedom fighters on ebay for 99p each, only to find out that FF is compatible in the US only (can't figure that one out) and Timeslitters just isn't compatible, presumably so they can sell it to us again over XBLA.

    Hahaha YES! This is totally what I pop in my xbox from time to time. That was awesome. 
     
    Also more recently, I've been going back to Burnout 3. That was my favourite one, for some reason.

    Same as Ninja, I never owned an original Xbox so I regularly buy and play Xbox one exclusives (or multi-platform games that are more expensive on the PS2.)

    No I don't. There's something about the controls that never feels right. I need the black and white buttons and their absence on the 360 controller just bothers me to no end when trying to play original Xbox games on the 360. So I load up my original Xbox when I want to play some original Xbox games provided I haven't gone and repurchased those games for PC.

    I did it with a couple of games to see if it worked and played some Splinter Cell 2. I also bought Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) on Xbox Originals.

    I really would like to, but some of the games I want for the original Xbox aren't even supported. Games like Gunvalkyrie, which I have patiently sitting, staring at me... I will find a console for you one day, son!

    I'll go back to replay the original two Halo games once a year, generally. They're still so tightly made that they hold up to today's standards. Really ahead of their time.

    I've only done it with Halo 2. I'd play more, but quite a few of the games I'd like to play aren't compatible. I did download Sid Meier's Pirates! as an Xbox Original, and I've put many hours into it on my 360.

    The only original Xbox game I played on my 360 was Halo 2 but I'm so glad the capability was there to do that, it's an awesome game.

    Last summer I played through The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and now that I've finished Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts I'll probably sink my teeth into Fable: The Lost Chapters now. So, in a word, yes.

    Oh, well I think I might buy it since Xbox Live is going offline for original Xbox games after April.

    I got Psychonauts off of the Marketplace.  Other than that time... no.  If Ubisoft ever decides to release Beyond Good & Evil on Games on Demand, I would pick that up as well.  I can't think of any other Xbox Original game I would want to play.

    A few here and there, but despite my 60ish Xbox games, the Xbox had THE most boring library of games last gen.  I mean REALLY boring.  I still play Gamecube and PS2 games all the time, but I can't think of a single Xbox game I feel like playing.

    Does anyone know what's going to happen with backwards compatibility after the April 15th cutoff?  I've never owned an xbox and my PS2 has died, but I really want to go back and play SSX 3 (on tour isn't compatible).  I don't want to bother with ebay and hunting for it if I won't be able to play it after 4/15.  Does anyone have any better info? 
     
    Thanks.

    @Ciffy: As far as I know they are only cutting the Xbox Live support.  You should still be able to play the games offline.

        @Garden_Ninja: From majornelson:    "I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360."  Can't seem to get any clarification on whether that's online only or online and offline.
