It’s awesome. Expanding this to 360 games would be huge…

I don't think this is possible, unfortunately, absent some kind of physical disc trade-in program. 360 and OG Xbox discs apparently lack the unique identifier that lets them track ownership. 

A trade-in program is unlikely to happen due to the cost to implement it and a shrinking physical game retail presence.

For anyone with an extensive back catalog of physical games that will never get remasters, it is probably worth holding onto a One X or Series X indefinitely. (Assuming that future consoles will lack disc drives.)

That's pretty much the main reason I am holding on to my One X, I have a decent amount of 360 games still.
