The original 60GB ones do but the other ones wont except some of the 80GB ones. Stupid really, you think they all would.

my xbox360 plays old xbox games ok
Thats cause Xbox is better
The 60 gb models are supposed to be unreliable also and prone to hardware failure, even though i had mine for about 4 years with no problem, till i spilled a pint of beer all over it lol.

the original ps3 did have this 40 and 60 gb models they also had card readers and crome strip were they are now silver ,they scraped it to save money .but charged the same price :/
also if you plan to get linux on it your ps3 get it now as it is rumoured they will be removing the os in the next update because they ps3 has now been hacked by the guy who hacked they iphone

the 360 only plays certain xbox games, not all, and its software emulated, and usually have to download a patch to enable the ability,
as for the ps3 its the 60gb that plays ps2 games, others do not,
the 60gb was probably the best machine feature wise they did, but had its problems..
bluray dvd drive failure was common, and the ylod, but that was due to over heating,
I have fixed many ps3's and it is all usually due to heavy gaming sessions , where folks spend almost half a day playing the machine and not give it a rest in between, also folks not cleaning the vents on the ps3 where dust builds up and gets sucked inside, blocking the vents and helping to overheat the cpu and gpu, now when the machine over heats the motherboard warps and the cpu and gpu connections let go, any 1 or number of pins that detach themself from the motherboard make the machine throw up the yellow light of death..

pretty much all the good games and a few of the others work fine on the 360. the software emulation works ok, not perfect as it has a bit of slowdown on certain games and the odd sound glitch, but doesnt make it unplayable.
the patch is instantly downloaded and installed so thats no problem
