MS warns against using fake Xbox One backwards compatibility "trick"
Microsoft has already discouraged people from using the code to enable the development features on the Xbox One, but apparently a JPG image has been making the Internet rounds today with a procedure to use that code in a way to get the console to recognize Xbox 360 games. There's just one big problem; the procedure is fake and all it will do is brick an Xbox One console that costs $500.
Microsoft's head of Xbox Live programming Larry Hryb has also weighed in on this issue with his Twitter feed:
"To be clear there is no way to make your Xbox One backwards compatible & performing steps to attempt this could make your console inoperable"
So basically, if you see any claims about a special cheat code to get Xbox 360 games to play on an Xbox One you can safely ignore it.

Poor-CP I have been posting this everywhere and I know I have gotten many people bricked. I do the same thing in telling people to delete System32 and they do that too. I love stupid people!
you wouldn't appreciate someone doing that to you. if you were to do that to me i would track your ip and personally sue you.
If you attempted to sue him your lawyer would just laugh at you blatantly.

I saw this In the Xbox One General discussion. Seriously why would you waste some one's hard earned money that they probably struggled to save for it.

Some people just dont think about it and then when they do it they get pissed
