was in my local blockbusters store and the lady behind counter was speakin about new xbox to another person saying they have received a phone call confirming the new console will not play pre owned or old xbox 360 games, I butted in saying its only a rumour but she was adamant the phone call they received was the definite answer BUT the new playstation will play old games, I think I will be getting new playstation if that happens.
