Xbox 360 Console and Xbox Games As you well know every so often companies come out with a new version of their gaming consoles. For example, the Xbox 360 is the newer version of the original Xbox. The biggest disadvantage to this new technology is the fact that the old games that you love so much will not play on your new system. This can be very disappointing and even a little discouraging even though there are so many great features with the newer consoles. Fortunately, the makers of Xbox 360 found a solution to this problem. If you've been putting off buying a 360 because you want to keep playing your favorite games, don't wait any longer. You will be happy to know that the Xbox 360 gaming console has backward capabilities. The manufactures of the Xbox 360 gaming consoles took this problem into consideration and designed a way to play games made for the original Xbox on the newer Xbox 360 console. It's referred to as "backwards capability". This was an excellent idea that has been a big hit with all gamers. There are three ways in which you can play your Xbox games on the 360 console. One of them will require a broadband Internet connection. This is the fastest and easiest way to make the necessary changes to enjoy your original games with the new system. Here's how it works. You start by getting an Xbox Live account. It can be either the gold or silver account it doesn't matter which. Here, you will be able to get the update you need for your gaming console with your Xbox Live account. Search for the update file, follow the instructions to start the process and wait for it to finish. Now you are ready to play those games you first fell in love with. You will also be able to stay updated on all the latest information concerning Xbox games and systems. The second way involves burning a CD or DVD. If you have dial-up Internet connection you can go to Xbox.com and download the update file to a CD or DVD that you can place in your Xbox 360 console. It's a simple process that shouldn't take very long. The third option is to order an update disc from Xbox.com. You can order the disc for free but you will have to wait for it to come in the mail. However, if this is your only option you may not mind the wait.
