The good/bad thing about the Xbox is that it's like a PC. Because of this there have been lots of people working on various emulators for the machine.
The situation now is that you can get everything from a Spectrum to a Megadrive working on your Xbox. Think of that, having many consoles in one, and on your TV rather than your PC screen.
Ok, so the issue of holding roms for games you don't own will raise its head, but that's never really stopped PC emulation fans. It's good news for retroheads though.
The Dreamcast even went so far as to have un-official ports of Quake (with the licenced code, so it wasn't illegal), perhaps we will see the same type of fan software support that the Amiga was lucky enough to have. It can't be a bad thing.
