probably not, but at least if I want to play some Reach or something I don't have to dig out the piece of shit xbox, and can just play it on my PC. Just need it to play the exclusives that we can't get on PC.

Would be interesting if MS just combines the next generation, sells the hardware in stores and the emulator for a much cheaper price for people with gg hardware. So we don't have to buy a console, we can just run that shit from my computer.


might not make sense financially though cuz ppl might pirate the software then pirate games

agreed, IDK how they will work that out. They do sell their consoles at a pretty significant loss for the first 2 years of a hardware generation though, so it might not be a big problem.

Any word on that FTP server?
