Scratch that, 200+ original Xbox games playable in HD on the Xbox 360!!!

Now this is how you wow gamers:

Xbox.com: Will there be any benefits to playing original Xbox games on my Xbox 360 console?

Todd: Absolutely. One of the great things about gaming on Xbox 360 is the satisfaction of knowing that every game will be playable in high definition. We are now proud to reveal that this extends to the original Xbox games as well. Every original Xbox game will be upscaled to 720p and 1080i, and will take advantage of Xbox 360’s anti-aliasing capabilities, delivering a picture that is clearer and crisper than anything available on Xbox.

Also, the list of 200+ games is a list of what works now.  But many more games will be added via software updates available through Xbox Live  (and will be free to all X360 owners).  They’ll also be distributed through other means (magazines, downloadable from Xbox.com) for users that don’t hook up their X360 to the internet.
