For the record, I bought a 360 having never owned an xbox. The B/C is ace, and works pretty well. I think half Life 2 runs nicely, just a shame the actual game is a bit muddy. However, KOTOR 2 is shoddy. The frame rate drops to bugger all in every fight, and the game crashes frequently. I hope this can get sorted soon. And to anyone who cares, to have B/C like playstation, they would have had to keep the old chip. And who wants a next gen console with a 5 year old chip in it? Look upon B/C as the nice bonus it is
