Why dont they put the old games on xbox live to be downloaded to the harddrive and playable on your xbox360 that would require the games to be eformatted but that shouldnt be a problem

My guess at a one-word answer: Support

I can imagine the fun we'll all have with a formated Daggerfall and Redguard.

Porting the games would take a lot of money and access to source code that probably isn't around anymore. It's a good thing all they have to do is eformat (?) them!

you never know the might remake XD (hopefully not)
