Joystiq has reported of an XBOX.com web page which goes into the foremention download service for original XBOX games for your XBOX 360.  It is nice that they will be hosting the original manuals in .pdf form on XBOX.com but, the emulation to make it work on your 360 has some rough spots.  First, when you boot up the game, there will be some stuttering through the publisher/developer screens before the main menu because the game is cached on the Hard drive.  Also, many Original XBOX games which have trailers/demos, etc on the game disc did not make it into emulation, meaning, if you go to this section, the game and the system will crash, forcing a reboot.  Also, many games will have frame-rate, audio, or visual issues.  Psychonauts, in PAL territories will not run 720p over HDMI.  If you try that, your game will crash. 

Sounds like making the trip to GameStop would be better than this now... right?
