Xbox One owners warned to avoid ‘backwards compatibility’ prank that bricks consoles

Every Xbox One console is a developer unit, but an option to enable the dev kit mode is being used to prank gamers this week. An image (embedded below) has been making the rounds on forums and social networking sites promising Xbox 360 backwards compatibility through six steps on an Xbox One console. Instead of providing any type of backwards compatibility, the steps will render an Xbox One useless in a constant reboot cycle, effectively bricking the console. To be clear there is no way to make your Xbox One backwards compatible performing steps to attempt this could make your console inoperable — Larry Hryb (@majornelson) December 6, 2013
