    Xbox 360 tech help

    So i just got a 360 sunday and I've been wanting to play my old Xbox games. I put the game in the tray just like anybody else would and wait, then a sign from the side says "Can not read this original xbox game please update. please visit http://www.blah blah blah.com" so i go to the site and there is nothing to be found about updating.

    so basicly What I'm asking is has this happened to any body on BG before?

    I could be wrong but I think each Microsoft Magazine comes with a CD to update the system also not all XBOX games are compatible yet.

    Is your XBOX on live? If you have your 360 hooked up to Live, even on the free silver membership, it will update automatically.

    If not your alternatives are to request an update CD from XBOX.com or 1-800-4My-Xbox.

    Personally I haven't requested a CD, I just update through live.

    If you log on Live your box should just update.

    Just make a XBLA account and it will automatically update when you pop the game in. (that is, it will tell you that it has to update itself in order to play the game and wants you to accept it... once you do the game should work, unless the game isn't covered yet... most of the famous games (Ninja gaiden, halo1/2, etc.) work fine though.

    I figure I'll just add onto this instead of making a new topic, I've been debating buying a 360 now, is it honestly worth it? I've heard alot of people still complaining about how it breaks or w/e else, so yea, dunno if I should still wait, I'm not in any huge rush to get it, but I wanna play all the halos, call of duty etc

    I say go for it, the only real problem with 360s is the RROD and they have a 3 year warranty on that now. I'm on my 3rd 360 (all RRoD) but if I had a choice to buy one of the 3 consoles(assuming I didn't have any) I'd buy a 360. Great choice of games.

    Make the plunge, they are cheap now and it's definitely worth it. If I had none and I could only buy one system... while I absolutely love the wii and nintendo, I would get a 360. More bang for your buck (but Wii60 works and isn't a bank breaker ;3).
