Some games from the X-Box will play in the X-Box 360, but not all of them.  In most cases where an X-Box game will play on the X-Box 360, the X-Box 360 owner will have to connect to the X-Box Live service to download patches just to be able to play the game.

I suspect this will mean that not many X-Box 360 owners will play many X-Box games

Hope this helps
Dave

As Mr Playstation Game Buyer for our group I've asked about buying X-Box
games and am awaiting a reply from the management. Does anyone know if there
is a difference between games for the X-Box and those for this new X-box 360
that's sold out before Christmas? If it's like Playstation and the PS2 I
suspect that will have some effect on what we buy if we do decide to buy
anything.
