It depends on the games you have. The 360 can only play the games that have emulators. Though, some don't work even still ahem-sniper elite-ahem. If they were big titles (Halo) then, no yes, 360 will most likely be able to play them.  However, you need a connection to the internet to download the emulator when you put in the origional xbox game.

What the second poster was trying to say is yes, it can play xbox games but only certain games. Not all of them work. Search for the xbox 360 backwards compatibility list on google. It will list all of the games that do work on the 360.

Yes, to a limit. http://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm Go there to see if the games you have are on the list. If not, then no. Granted, dunno how up to date that list is.
