# can you clear up a confusion i have?
as xbox is so closely related to a pc (using as it does all the directX libraries) will it not be INCREDIBLY easy for 'third parties' to port xbox games to the pc?

# in theory
yes it will be easy - especially if the developers are making versions for both formats - but you can guarantee that most games will have a deal with xbox to be exclusive - and remember the xbox still has limitations because its a console - not a pc

# i meant third party as in "warez groups".
how much code would a bleem-style emulator actually take? would a simple recompiler suffice?

# thats naughty
but considering every console going is emulated its inevitable the xbox will too -
