Indeed you can. You need to make sure that the game will work on the 360, though. :)

Clicky. (http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm)

Yep, but the list isn't brilliant, and it is a lot easier if you have an internet connection :D

"List updated November 2007."

OMG, it has been nearly a year since MS last updated this.
Also, why is Barbie on the list? :confused:

As far as I know, Microsoft aren't updating the list anymore.

rob m 2007 can I just ask? Are you nuts? Why in gods name did you buy that waste of money the Xbox 360 arcade? you really are :cen::cen::cen: Now you are going to have to buy a hard drive for the console and I would like to point out will cost you MORE than buying it with a hard drive! Here in the UK it is £130 ($218.91) for the arcade. And the cheapest I have seen for the Hard Drive is £24.95 ($42.01) a combined total of £154.95 ($260.92) where as I got my 360 PRO 60GB on amazon.co.uk for £151 ($254.57). So tell me why on Earth did you waste your money on the Arcade.:confused::cen::vlol::vlol::vlol::vlol::vlo l::vlol::vlol:

You know, Arcade console owners can choose to get a FREE 512MB Memory Card or a 20GB HDD for £12.99 :)
That's for when the new Xbox Experience update is released.
Now that's about £143 which is not bad at all.

You can't if you use VGA Cables. My mate found that out the hard way.

Only for the original xbox games that only work in 50hz. eg. you cant play halo, but you can play halo 2

Cables that you can hook up to your PC monitor.

The list is pretty good. I can't think of any worthwhile game that isn't on the List. My Kotor copy does chugs, and I do have some sound problem. My DOA copies, are smooth playing except online. I have other games, but there mostly trash
