Stupid question - I'm asking because I don't own one, so really don't know. I'd heard in the early days that some Xbox games didn't work on the 360 - any truth to this? If so, is this still the case or has compatability been fixed?

Reason I ask is I want to grab Lego Star Wars or MechAssault as a KrisKringle present for one of the guys at work, figure they'd be into them - but want to make sure it works.

I'd get him the Gamecube version of Lego Star Wars, but he doesn't have a Gamecube controller (has a Wii).

Lego Star Wars works, but strangely Mech Assault doesn't, only Mech Assault 2.

Well that was quick and easy. Thanks Khel.

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is on Xbox 360 and Wii now and includes the games based on all 6 films.

Yeah, I know about that, but I'm not allowed to spend more than $20. I'm hoping that getting LSW1 it'll convince him to buy complete.
