Microsoft to unveil new Xbox 2 on MTV

Apparently, MTV will play host to a 30 minute special, unveiling the new XBox 2/XBox 360 on May 12th. With the Playstation 3 die to be released a few days after (on the 16th), this is an interesting time to be a gamer.

Gaming's something I don't do a lot of – nor do I follow it overly closely. Does anyone know if XBox games will work on this next generation xbox? If not, I've got a copy of Burnout 3 that's going to feel very unloved…
