I read this in the xbox site and found it very interesting. You can actually update your 360 for backwards compatability with a CD/DVD and the 360 reads the file automatically. You need to download a file called "default.xex" to do this.

Dare I say that there is more that can be done this way. No, but this is defenitely a start. Just the fact that this can be done opens a whole new window of opportunity. Check it out :

yeah, its cool when you want to play older games but dont have high speed internet or something (god forbid Laughing ) and you cant dl it using xb live. ive already done the december update on my xbox 360 using memorex cd-r's. i think it would be nice to be able to compile a list of usable media for the xbox 360 for when the time comes and we can play our legally backed up games.

There was a news story on this as well.

Also, when you download xbox live arcade games, you download the .xex on an unsecured http port.
