360 Arcade and backwards compatibility...

I have an Arcade and it's hooked up to xbox live on a constant basis. Can the thing play backwards compatible games? I checked online and read that an update is required, but i'm pretty sure i would have it already. I just want to know if i can play origibal xbox games without a hard drive even though i still have the memory unit. Has anybody tried?

i have tried and it says that you need a hard drive to play the original xbox titles so go to gamestop and get a refurbished for cheap... thats wat i di

oh ok thanks. im not liking the solution, but i guess theres not much choice in the matter
