great read. also one very noteworthy link included in that article:
[http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm](http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm)
only a few of the newest games won’t be supported right out of the box. not bad.

well since a 100gb 2.5in drive is ~$150-175+ all by itself, i’ll opt for burning discs as usual. 😃 but yeah i’ll be waiting on hearing some good mod info as well.
