Discuss.

Sorry, I'm an incredibly sophisticated virus.
I was kind of making that point before you infused your confusion into my guts. Awrrrrr
Although if the Xbox 2's truly backwards compatible you won't really need the earlier Xbox anymore anyway.

No if your Xbox dies on you and you own it's successor (Xbox 2) you want it to be backwards compatible.

What's interesting is the QuickTransit technology itself; it'd be so much easier for programmers to just make one version of a program, without the need to recompile or change any code, and still have a truly worldwide base - basically anyone owning a computer with sufficient power will be able to run it.
Backwards compatibility isn't for people who own the Xbox or PSone, its for all the people who never owned those consoles. It's just a way for Microsoft to make money off of their old games with a new console.
