Halo 1 & 2 on the Xbox 360: Now in 720p w/ AA
While a full list of backwards compatible at launch titles has still not been released, Bungie posted some pics yesterday of what we can expect when running Halo 1 & 2 on the Xbox 360. Both games will be capable of running in 720p widescreen with full screen anti-aliasing which should give a much cleaner look than is currently available. Backwards compatibility doesn't really matter to me, because I'll be keeping my Xbox to mod and run Xbox Media Center, but at least I won't have to worry about how I want to play Halo 2 on Live anymore.
Now if they'll just do the same for Rallisport Challenge 2, check the link for some pictures from one of the games designers showing what it would look like if upconverted to 720p w/ FSAA.

Can't you just do that on the 360 without modding it? I planned on doing the same thing until I realized the possibilities of doing just about everything I wanted to do using a modded Xbox I can do with a stock 360.

Not exactly, while I'm excited by the 360's media extender capabilities, it will only stream certain kinds of movie files, it probably won't let me change my screen as much as XBMC, it certainly won't let me download various emulators and previous generation games , etc.
