4Chan gets people to brick Xbox Ones

The Xbox One utilises a very different architecture to the Xbox 360, meaning that it’s nigh impossible to get Xbox 360 games to run on an Xbox One on a purely hardware level. with software emulation, it’s a little more realistic, but there’s probably not enough power in the hardware to do a convincing job.

So unless it comes via streaming of some sort, the Xbox One will never be able to play Xbox 360 games. Still, that’s not enough for some people, who got suckered in to bricking their Xbox One’s on the back of some faux workaround to enable backwards compatibility.

Here’s an infographic that appeared on 4Chan.

Tip: Don’t follow those instructions. It’s the quickest way to turn your Xbox One in to an Xbox None. Doing so will only end up with you having a very expensive brick stuck on a bootloop. Of course, those with sense wouldn’t have done this anyway; following instructions on 4chan is generally a great way to make yourself cry. This is the same place that spawned the obviously very false claim that iOS 7 added a feature that would make iPhones waterproof.

Even Major Nelson’s stepped in, informing the world via Twitter that nothing in the world will make your Xbox One play 360 games.

        That wouldn’t be a problem if the media actually vetted it’s stories once in awhile.

          Exactly, they are known for their support of anyone. And when I say support I mean ‘Your face is gay/fag!’

    iOS7 makes the phone waterproof. Only iPhone users can believe that.

    I assume you then have to take the Xbox None back to the store where you purchased it?
    Pity the user can’t reload the OS themselves… Oh wait then it wouldn’t be a console any more.

    How am I supposed to read this with that annoying block of social media buttons covering up the left side of the article? Is it just me? It totally could be since I’m using an old 17″ CRT set on an old school resolution due to my flat panel busting. But even if that’s the case, it’s a problem. *Stumbling on without reading the article* *Shrug*

      Hmm, just un-maximized my browser window, the buttons went away. Still a problem.
