If you didn’t already know your Xbox 360 console can play original Xbox games. Which is pretty cool if you have that retro classic you love to play but they don’t have it created for the Xbox 360. Here is a list of Xbox games that are currently backward compatible. You can purchase some really cheap original Xbox games through the Revenue Robot store.

Here are the 3 ways Microsoft allows the ability to play older Xbox games on your Xbox 360 console:

• Update through Xbox LIVE®.
• Burn a DVD or CD.
• Order a disc by mail from Xbox.com.

I’ve found the best way to play original Xbox games on your Xbox 360 console is to go with the update through Xbox LIVE.

Would you like to sign up for a chance to preview the new features coming to Xbox LIVE like Zune, Facebook, and Twitter. If so then check out the Official site for your chance to take part of the action. Here are some of the restrictions listed on the site:

• We can only enroll participants from regions where Xbox LIVE is officially supported.  Do not sign up unless Xbox LIVE is officially available and supported in your region.
• Completing the sign up survey does not automatically enroll you in the Preview Program. To ensure a good cross section of LIVE members, we’ll review completed surveys and make our selections based on variables such as region and connection type.
• Do not apply more than once. It will not increase your chances of being registered into the preview program.
• To be considered for the program, you must complete the survey and provide your 12 digit Console ID. If your Console ID is not correct, you will not be chosen to participate.
• To register, you will need your Gamertag and Xbox 360 Console ID.
• If you do not know how to obtain your Console ID, please read this article.

As mentioned before with the Xbox Dashboard update there was going to be added avatar modifications such as the Gears of War avatars shown above. So what are you going to make your avatar look like since all the added stuff available for your avatar?
