Source: Achievements to be patched into original Xbox titles

A source from inside Microsoft has given us a juicey peice of information, starting Spring 2009 Microsoft are to begin patching achievements into original Xbox titles, starting with Halo: Combat Evolved and Fable and aiming to update the entire back catalogue by Winter 2009. We were told by our source that this is to get gamers interested in original Xbox titles, and if succesfull they plan to make more titles available for download and backwards compatible, there's still hope for you Deus Ex fans out there

Each game will have 500 achievement points. And testing is also responsible for some original Xbox titles apearing on gamers profiles.

Awesome if true.

Put achievement in Fable and i'll play it all over again. I enjoyed the original so much more.

I've been waiting for this a long time now. Can't wait!

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Fable IMO was much better than 2. You can get the Lost Chapters version for like $9.99 if you look around. Stay away from the XBox Originals version though because for some reason they are only offering the regular version (morons?), TLC has about 20-30% more content.
