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.

Well Microsoft shouldn't allow you to enter the dev mode straight off. It's ridiculous, it's a nice idea that devs can work straight from the console but it isn't realistc. Will result in mod's galore!

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...
That would have drove the price up even higher.

I believe this "prank" started on 4Chan so good rule of thumb here; Never believe anything from 4Chan.
