XBOX 360 hard drive upgrade - advice needed

[lanwarrior]

There is no backwards compatibility at all for the PS4 or the X1 this generation.

No disc, no downloads, nothing.

That may be changing later into this new gen, as both companies (and especially Sony) have hinted at cloud based emulator gaming for older games, but as of now, you are buying a PS4 or an X1 to play PS4 or X1 games.

If you want the free games for gold MS is giving away or the PS+ games sony is giving away, buy a used X360 or PS3.

Ah, that sucks. I wonder why download game won't work. CD I understand, but... Bah, maybe the OS change.

The new consoles have a completely different hardware set up than the old ones and neither company wanted to invest in emulation at the start.

( the reason there was backwards compatibility last gen was MS spent the money to emulate certain xbox games and Sony initially spent the $ to put a ps2 CPU/gpu chipset into every PS3, something they later stopped to save $).
