In a word - no. A regular Xbox cannot read an Xbox 360 disc and lacks the hardware to run it as well.

No, the normal Xbox does not have the proper software to read and understand an Xbox 360 disk. It also does not have the proper hardware to process the information on a Xbox 360 disk or to handle the graphics in Xbox 360 games. So, no you can not play a Xbox 360 disk in a normal Xbox.

No it is not possible to play newer console games on older consoles. They just don't have the components or processing power to play them.

Simply put, no. The laser diode in the original xbox is too big to read the data off of an xbox 360 game.

It is impossible. Original xbox does not read xbox 360 disks. You better sell original xbox and buy xbox 360. Good luck.
