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.

Kurumu Only a true **** hole can think it is funny to watch people throw $500 down the drain. Good thing I am not an idiot and fall for stupid things like this.
Yeah I don't understand some people. But then I don't understand the gullible people either.

ImgBurn You would have to be stupid to even try and make it backwards compatibility in the first place.
Agreed. That is a lot of money to tamper with something.

Only way for xbox one to be backwards compatible is if you could access the root, add an emulation for the system.

If you tried it, then it's your fault that your console's broken. It's almost impossible to play the old games, they can only reconfigure them and recode some parts to make it compatible for next gen consoles, you deserved to lose $500 for doing this.
