Backwards Compatible Xbox 360 Games Get New Cases



One of the Xbox One’s best features is backwards compatibility, and now Xbox 360 games are even getting new boxes! Microsoft is re-releasing backwards compatible games in new cases that look like the ones Xbox One games come in, with a label that says “Plays on Xbox One & Xbox 360”. Backwards compatibility has been a huge marketing point for the Xbox One, especially when competing with the PlayStation 4. These new boxes are a great way to advertise the feature and bring in more revenue and exposure for older games!

About the backwards compatibility. Can you use xbox 360 discs in the xbox one or do you have to buy the games again but the backwards compatible version of the same game?

You use the disc then it installs it. If the game had DLC go to Manage Game and download it for each title. Digital just pop up in your game list.

more and more reasons why I will most likely get a xbox one for the holidays. The only issue I see with the xbone s is when it comes to streaming netflix and plex even though it is a more powerful system it is slower than the roku, firestick, and nvidia shield.
 
I need a new HD...too many games...think I'm gonna go w/ 3TB this time...bestbuy had a WD passport for $95 but I waited too long...it's @ $130....hope they bring it back down for black fri.

Yea ever since Cortana got added my XBox has been slow. I stream on my PS4 now. I turned her off. Rather use the Kinect for voice commands.
 
Check bestbuy again. They had a 4tb hub a few weeks ago for $85 I copped one and plugged my other 4tb into it with another 1tb. Making 10 with the internal HD. I think I'm gonna be good for a min but I've already used 4.5tb.
:money:

I'll check but it's probably back up to regular price...I got caught up watching the infiltrator...when I went to buy the HD when it was over they had already switched to their new sales items for the week...I'll keep checking tho...I only see 2TB HDs going on sale for black fri. might just say fuck it and buy the 3TB one for $110 on amazon

*edit*

just checked bestbuy again and the WD 3TB is back on sale :dance:

*edit*

it's for the mac...not 100% sure if it'll work on xbox one if reformatted

Behold NES, SNES, and Genesis emulator on your xbox one.

1. Put this link in your Microsoft Edge browser on you your xbox one. https://nesbox.itch.io/x1
2. Move your NES, Snes, Genesis or Gameboy games to your ONE DRIVE.
3. Then just load the Rom. Shit works...

Saw a Black Friday ad that had the XBOX One S with Battlefield and a digital download of Gears 4 AND an extra controller for $250.... thinking about finally jumping onboard.
 
Wish i would have seen this before i bought the amazon game controller

Yeah man this shit right here works like a charm... I have no idea how, but there isnt even lag. I think I'm going to make a thread on this one. More Kats need to know.

I was playing Donkey Kong Country this morning....

Only thing the buttons are backwards trying to play Mario brothers. on nentindo it B A
 


found a better deal for $31 US (£25 UK)...this will work w/ your US xbox account...

https://slickdeals.net/f/9426239-xbox-live-12-months-24-99-amazon-uk-digital-31#commentsBox

what I needed to make it work...far easier to do than to type lol...

a) use an old amazon account that you rarely use or a new one (bcuz you risk losing prime/household if you use your normal account due to the changing of countries)

b) when prompted to use a UK address cuz it recognizes you're in the US...get one from here http://www.fakeaddressgenerator.com/World/uk_address_generator you can use your name and use the address info (leave 'state full' blank)

c) must use visa/MC and your regular billing address (where it reads 'county' enter your state and don't forget to change 'country' to 'US') (also this won't work w/ discover card)

that's it...redeem code on xbox w/ your regular live account and it goes thru normally...again it actually took me longer to type this than to do it...I discovered this on slickdeals cuz the $38 deal was dead

damn... missed it

dont' have any account i'm willing to risk on the UK version

there's no damn risk...make an account...best case scenario you get it...worst case scenario *gasp* you don't...amazon doesn't cross reference your credit card...I have 6 different accounts all w/ the same card (this is from when I was being cheap and getting the free month trial...so after the trial ended...I'd just make a new account lol)
 
Details of what Square was planning with Sleeping Dogs 2 gameplay surfaced this week. With it being free with gold in December hopefully it helps to get Sleeping Dogs 2 green lit.
 
Jumped in and picked up an Xbox One S Battlefield 1 joint at Target today for $249 plus a $40 gift card. Told the wife I wouldn't open it til Christmas though lolz....still have to finish a bunch of games on PS3.
