MS announces Xbox Originals

Yesterday Microsoft announced a new feature to be added in the next Dashboard Update coming Dec. 4th. The new feature will be Xbox Originals which allows you to download old games from the first Xbox. Some games that were named in the press release were Halo, Psychonauts, Crimson Skies and Fable. The games are priced at 1200 microsoft point and there has been no other details released.

What is the benefit in downloading these games? Will they be upscaled? or will they have achievements? who knows, we will have to wait for more details.
