Ok, the "big cat" is out of the bag: The XBox 360 will be able to run old Xbox games!  This has definitely been a nail-biter for the industry and hard-core gamers, so it's great that we've paid attention to these concerns.  The Xbox 360 is going to TOTALLY rock and make the living-room gaming experience something cool again.  My buddy, Brian Benincasa, had several cool announcements in his latest blog post, including his promotion to Lead Evangelist over in the Gaming and Graphics group and "leveling up" his family.  More interesting are Brian's comments about whether the Xbox 360 will replace the PC as a gaming platform.  I definitely agree with Brian here -- the PC will be a FAR more flexible platform for gaming.  But each are two platforms offering different, but uniquely satisfying experiences.  Not unlike trying to decide if you want to go for a ride on this or this.
