Xbox owners tricked into destroying old consles 


This story talks is about the new Xbox one and link between the Xbox one and the Xbox 360, as you are able to link your xbox's together via a hdmi cable, you may play 360 games on your Xbox one but they cannot be interested into the Xbox one and must be inserted into the 360 instead. A prank was then played that said that you may make your xbox one compatible for 360 games all you would have to do was follow the recommended steps but this would go on to destroy your console with the effects being permanent.

My view on the story is that people shouldn't have believed what they saw, Microsoft on many occasions said that you cannot play games from your 360 on your Xbox one but they would find a way which would make it easier for you to switch, which they did, even though it's not the easiest thing to figure out, it's still better than destroying your new Xbox, as seen from the prank that was played on iPhone users saying that ios7 makes your phone waterproof, many shouldn't believe what they read unless it has been announced by Mircosoft and has been tested, it should also be common sense to one that if the developers have already said that it's not compatible, then there is nothing you can do to make it work.
