The PS2 and Gamecube were ugly as hell and that didn't stop people from buying them! I guess they made a mistake, the "unveiling" on MTV is at 9... I could have sworn I read that was EST time, but I guess not. Oh well its on the Xbox.com website now, just gonna wait to see it in action on TV!

I still did not hear anything about backwards compatability with the Original Xbox in the MTV special. Gamespy.com has a few screenshots and videos from the upcoming titles for the Xbox 360.

That's an interesting thought. How will some games work backwards? Games like DDR won't use the original pad, since there's not a place to plug it in. Steel Batallion owners seem screwed.
