Xbox 360 to get a “Virtual Console” like feature
November 15th, 2007
The rumor is said to be true. Xbox 360 owners will soon be able to download original Xbox games from Microsoft for around 1200 Microsoft points, or about $15. It is rumored to open up in early December, and then, gamers will be able to buy games like Fable and Halo: Combat Evolved. But the real question is, why buy those games for $15, when you can go to Gamestop and buy them for $5? Either way, expect Microsoft to tons of money.

See, copying the Wii ideas is always smart
Wow. Just….wow.
"Hey, instead of spending money on our loyal fan base to improve the backwards compatability, let’s just charge them money to pay a ton extra for a game that should already be playable on our system."
"Great idea, Bill. We’ll put that in place."
Hey everybody! Let’s all make fun of the Wii and then turn around a copy it’s features. I love contradictions in the global market.
Wow, first Sony, now Microsoft?
JK, but Microsoft is definitely ripping off their customers, unless they include something extra.
you guys really have your heads up your asses sometimes. The 360 has backwards compatibility. Still this does seem kinda retarded, unless the games have been updated, with achievements, or LIVE online play.
xbox has had a "virtual cosole long before the wii
And what "virtual console" is that, pomx2?
