Xbox One not backwards compatible with 360 discs/XBLA purchases

4.4
The new Xbox One will not be backwards compatible. They have also announced that old purchases from the Xbox 360 will not transfer over because of the new processor they have put in. Microsoft have said that they care about the purchases, and will still be updating new apps and features on the old Xbox 360. Microsoft said that some things will transfer over such as the gamer score that you earned in previous years on the 360.

Well there goes, hundreds of dollars of games, I don't see why they couldn't do this. They made it faster and better and it still plays DVD's.

This Xbox is just a bad idea period. Mainly as it is just going to cost way to much money to buy and play online.

Wagering This is a complete money hunger scheme...


Maybe so, but can you blame them, you would ? and anyways why buy a new console for old games ? pointless.


Minecraft is not an old game. It is a game that is constantly being upgraded and updated. It is the most popular xbox live arcade game, there is no reason everyone should have to go repurchase just to play it on a new console

ImGiraffe The 360 actually sounds fine right now. I think they're just looking to make more money by making us pay for new ****.


dude the 360 is almost 10 years old, the time has come for a new console to keep up with the endlessly improving graphics and game engines.

people need to calm down and get over themselves and keep up with the future.

atleast it's not like an iPhone or something that comes out every year,
