A software update through xbox live will be needed to play these games on your console. If you do not have xbox live you will be able to download a CD from xbox.com to update your console.

Yes the Xbox 360 can play regular XBOX games so dont worry. You can check for more info on the xbox website. http://www.xbox.com

The Xbox 360 is highly believed to be backward compatible but ONLY with the original Xbox's top-selling games. Games like Halo 1 and 2, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive and a handful of others are believed to be on the list for backward compatible treatment.
IGN.com journalists believe that Microsoft will take the backward compatiblity issue one step at a time, considering the XB360 is an entirely different system from the original. Using the XB360 hard drive, there will be updates of some sort sent via Xbox Live that will enable gamers to play SOME of their favorite older titles (granted they have the games in their possession). Over time, the list may grow based on gamer feedback and, someday, the XB360 may very well include in its playable titles every game from Xbox 1's library.
We'll know for sure how Microsoft handles backward compatibility this fall when the system is (hopefully) launched.
