But we don't even know yet if 360 will be backwards-compatible - at least I don't think we do.
That's probably more of an issue/problem than controller design!

Microsoft have said that it's 'Top Titles' will be backwards compatible but have thus far not said which ones that will be.

I really cannot see myself choosing any of this current generation titles over some of the next ones. Not much of an issue for me.

Nor in what fashion.
Even taking just the 'top' titles, some may work as they are, others may not.
From what I've heard, anywhere between 'some' and 'many' may need re-compiling to work on the PowerPC CPU. At the very least, this will surely require the return of the original disc for a replacement. It'll work, but it's not ideal, and it's not really 'compatible' is it?

I've never purchased an X-box or had any interest in the machine, so when a friend of mine told me that it can play PC games I was a little sceptical but then I thought that since it is made by Microsoft it could be true.
Does any one know if this is true?

Untrue.
It probably could, given the hardware inside it, but as it is, it can't.

Well, do you know if it will be possible for the 360 to do it?
Maybe because of its removable hardrive?
I only ask as i'm wondering whether to buy one, and to be able to play PC games on it as well would be a great offer to intice(sp?) me to get it

No.
Wookiee - You said they were in the process of creating an XBox 360 emulator for the PS3?
Got any links?
