Ok, just THIS makes me want to have it right here right now.

And don't blame Bethesda Softworks for not releasing it on Xbox! Blame Microsoft!
"What issues prevent an Xbox release?
First off, the console market doesn't support expansions; it's not something anyone does, thus stores have no demand for them. In the PC arena, it's common practice. The other reasons are technical. Even though Xbox has a hard drive, it's not like a PC; you don't install things like you do on a personal computer. We did put some hooks into Morrowind for plugins, but Microsoft gets concerned about opening up the hard drive to certain files. It's a security problem. You could put one on that trashed the system. We tried to hatch some schemes where we could have another DVD, but you can’t swap discs without resetting the box. So, an Xbox expansion at this time is an impossibility. It's a shame, because we'd love to get our stuff to as many people as possible."
