Exclamation I got some Questions

I've been searching for info about this new system and what i mostly find is technobabble that i don't understand and so far i can't find answers to two main important questions to me.

1) can it play the old xbox games

2) how many controller ports is their

Maybe i'm blind and have missed this info somewhere (wouldn't surprise me) but if someone could answer these then that would be great

Just moved this into the Xbox360 Newbiw Question section

As to your questions.

1. Initially there will be only certain Xbox games available to play on your new 360. These games haven't been announced but MS have said it will certainly include all the top selling Xbox titles. Eventually all Xbox titles will be playable on the the 360 but this is going to take time to do.
At the moment, or at least last thing I saw, to play old xbox games you will need to install an emulator (provided by MS via download (I think)) onto your HDD to play the games (again this may of changed)

2. There are 4 controller ports on the 360, same as the current Xbox

The 360 supports upto 4 wireless controllers and has 3 usb ports (two behind the door on the right/bottom of the system and one in the back) for hooking up wired controllers and play and charge kits.

I'm sorry, incorrect. The wired controllers connect through USB ports, which the 360 only has three of. However, the wireless controllers don't need a USB port.
