Lack of backwards compatibility? Come on, the Xbox 2 will be more powerful than the first, so why wouldn't it be able to play the old games?

I think I'll be able to play my copy of Halo 2 on Xbox 2. At least I hope so.
and this study puts some validity to the feeling of being "in the zone" when playing a favorite game. I think it's a zen-like state where outside influences can easily be ignored. As for the link between gaming and drugs, I'd like to see a study where kids are given a game boy AND a bong... wouldn't even need the anesthetic!
