I'd say your right, otherwise the guy writing the e-mails will have a big job to do now that we've all started to e-mail Microsoft. I wonder if they will directly respond to any of our e-mails.

I'm thinking , when Microsoft let the game company's create the emulator patches
Is there any chance that OWI will be able to do that bechause they dont have programmers anymore??

Something just came into mind.

The Xbox 360 has been released a while ago now, but there is no information if the OW games can be played on it. Well if someone does already have the 360 and OW games,then decides to play them on the console, they wouldn't work, right? Well if they do eventualy become backwards compatible would it mean you would have to buy new OW games or an Xbox360?

I'm just curious on how it works, not that I'm planning on getting the console.

You would have to download a patch.

I'll try
 
I'll send 3 e-mails to them, I'm not planning to get a 360 but it's for just in case I get one and for you Odd people out there who have a 360! This is going to be my message:

Dear Microsoft,

I am a very big fan of the Oddworld games for the Xbox and the PS1, and have been wondering, you have created the Xbox 360 so it can't play the Xbox 1 Oddworld games, I know you are very busy but I just want to ask you to try and work on putting them on the 360, In the future I may be planning to get one, so I hope you do your best to get the Oddworld games up and running on the 360. Good Luck

Yours Sincerely,

Jordan Yates, A big fan of Oddworld and Xbox

cool letter Jordan boi
good of you to write it even you dont have an xbox360 ;)

if the patch is released will we notice it easly or do we need to go to the xbox site and watch the b/c list or put the games in our xbox360 and see what happens...

EDIT :
:

We've been informed today that there are going to be no more Backward Compatibility updates released for the Xbox 360 until March at the earliest. Microsoft's David Reid has stated that the team who do the BC work are on holiday throughout January and will start work on priority titles when they return. But from what it sounds like, there will be only a few more updates released through 2006.

bad news :(
