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.

Tyrannicide This is on par with the iOS7 waterproof update.
Exactly. I wouldn't say they deserve it if they do try, but I don't necessarely feel sorry for them. Sucks to be gullible.

Lavishimgur I saw this on 4chan last night, this is wonderful. This is almost as good of a troll as the iOS7 waterproof troll. My god, if you fall for this you deserve it. Why would MS not advertise a feature everyone wants? You'd have to be pretty gullible.
It is amazing what 4chan is capable of doing.
Could you imagine if they put that towards doing something that actually had meaning?
Its 4chan, do you honestly think they'd use their "powers" for good? Nope, they'll use it to fool people who are gullible. And that's hilarious.

Why would they make Development Settings on all Xbox's knowing People would find out, and brick their console.

More to the point, if you want to play Xbox 360 games, play them on a damn Xbox 360.
I mean sh*t, why would you buy an Xbox One to go out of your way to play 360 games on it...

They don't need to make the hardware backwards compatible, just release a software emulator like they did for the Xbox360 to play Original Xbox games.
