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.

Gigahertz Feel bad for the people that actually done it (there's always one). They should of made it backwards compatible in the first place...
Hopefully they can manage to get a refund or something along those lines.

I do not understand why they couldn't make them compatible I mean yeah would risk the sales of the one version but sooner or later 360 will fade away.

Lia Even if it did work, I wouldn't risk my $500 console on it.
Pretty much this. I wouldn't even think of going into the development features on a console that i had just spent $500 on
AimiPosted:
Yeah this would be stupid to do if you never got to use the console. waste of 500 bucks.
CutPosted:
I hope no one tried this because it would be sad to loose 500 bucks and barely even got to enjoy the console.
