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.

MKP I don't see why someone would even attempt this.
No doubt, I'm sure the would be pissed if it happened to them

I've seen the actual thing you type in to do this, it's so obvious it's not making your One play 360 games. People are dumb even attempting this.

I don't understand why people do stupid stuff like this. They are the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst!

This only shows just how pathetic some people are. It will come back to them in time though.

I saw a bunch of these pictures on 4chan a few days back. They went out and posted them around reddit and 9gag.

WJL why do people do this to others.
They probably get enjoyment out of ruining other people's consoles.
