Hey I want to know the about the backwards compatability for the 360. I know some old xbox games work right out of the box like the orignal halo. But what about the splinter cell series and star wars knights of the old republic. Do you have to have xbox live in ordertpplay certain titles or are do they play right out of the box. Thats the thing that has kept me from purchasing a 360. I don't want my old xbox games to be there just collecting dust.

There's a list on the main site, but a lot of the old games have problems running on the 360, and you mentioned KOTOR, that game runs terribly on the 360.
