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.

I dont care that much when it comes to marketplace games..sure it suck. Im pissed off that we cant play our 360 games online. There is almost no point of buying GTA V,Cod ghost,BF4 and many others because we wont be able to play them on it.

SwaggIsForKidz Waw no black ops 2, black ops, halo 3 & 4 And reach, xbox minecraft, modern warfare 2 & 3, GTA 4, are not available to play on the xbox one what a waist of a system to make Microsoft and the new xbox systems are going for 299 to 399 in the US I guess it's the end of video games for me


Good, society will advance without you. Its not that much money, if all you want to do is play those games then stick with the current console. Upgraded hardware means upgraded software too, if that's a surprise to you then you should probably just stop existing or take a common sense class. Its not because they want to deprive consumers of the ability to play old games, its because in order to create something new and significantly better it has to be completely redesigned. Its a technical issue, and Im sure over time there will be old titles re-released for the XONE just like our current systems. Quiet Whining and change your name to something that doesn't make me want to give up on society.


Well swag is for kids. And you're saying society advances through video games? Wow, that's a shame. Society declines with the advancement of technology. Besides, Its another cheap trick to get more money from people. They think they can hoard in more cash if they have always online, no used games and having to buy back games you already have if you want to play them. The processor has nothing to do with it. They're acting like apple trying to say big words to astonish the knowledgeable into buying it.

LFOnline Is there any release date or pricing?


Since Cod Ghosts comes out the 5th of November.... expect it to be before then


Well Gta 5 Comes Out September 9.


hopefully its not over 350$


Honestly, I really doubt it'll be under $500. With the specs that we're looking at here, don't expect it to.

This is really a shame. But I will still be purchasing this console. It looks simply gorgeous.
