Xbox 360 update to add support for around 40 Xbox gaming titles

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is scheduled to get a software update which would enable the console to play an additional of 40 games developed for the first generation Xbox gaming console.

Gamers are expected to get an automatic alert whenever they go online through their Xbox 360 gaming console. They can also however manually download the update and install it themselves using a CD.

With this expansion, the Xbox 360 now supports more than 300 games made for the original Xbox gaming console. This is certainly going to please a lot of gamers who own a lot of previous generation games.

Microsoft adds a lot of these games would look better than then they did on the original console because of improved hardware and upscaling to 720p/1080i.
