Is it possible to play Guild Wars on an XBox360?

I seen this thread which gave me the curiosity!

ON a 360, I'm not sure. But definitely with the pad.

Naw, that thread was purely about using the 360 controller to play GW. It can be used to play pretty much any PC game with the right tweaking.

The 360 is not capable of playing any PC games - unless you were to rip it to bits and turn it into a proper computer

The original XBox might, though.

The XBox can be hacked to run linux, and GW does run under linux (WINE). The hardware is below-spec for GW, so even at lowest settings I'm guessing performance wont be good, but it might conceivably, possibly, run.

But the original XBox doesn't have any form of internet access.

Concivably, it could be possible, but it would require a lot of complex stuff that would void your warrenties.

The original Xbox has a Ethernet-Controller built in. You have perfect internet access at your hands

Yes, you need some sort of alternate BIOS to boot unsigned binaries. It is possible to play GW on a small Debian-Installation via wine, though. Believe me, this is some sort of modern masochism, you wouldn't wanna do this.
