Hey, MadeStarling972! What game are you trying to download, and what's the exact error that you are receiving? We'll be able to start from there and help you get sorted out.

It is called Xcom enemy unknown and the error is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com. Please complete from your Xbox. I'm using my Xbox though

Thanks for much for clarifying MadeStarling972,

This page can explain that error message and what you'd need to do to get around it. Troubleshoot Xbox 360 Marketplace purchasing.

Cheers!

Good day

Blacks ops lll wont be on backwards compatibility as it was released on Xbox One.

If games have been released on 360 and on the One it wont be backward compatible.

He will need to format the hard drive.That will delete everything from his console.

If I remember you do that under console settings,then memory.

He wont lose a thing,anything bought or downloaded is linked to his account.

Only backwards compatible 360 games can be downloaded again on the xbox one though.

There's a list of backwards compatible games here
http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games but more games are being added all the time.

Good day

Only the HD collection is currently on backward compatible list.

You wont be able to play the standard game as it was developed for the original xbox in 2004.

To be able to play original xbox games on the 360 and One you need to download an emulator once you insert the disc. It works for all the games that is in the backward compatibility library.

Hi,

As some additional information. to the answer already specified.

The backward compatible game while it is the same game the download is basically different version of the game, being the backward compatible version of the game. This is also the reason why inserting a backward compatible game via disc will result in the
backward compatible version being downloaded (disk is still required to start the game)

So in order for you to download that backward compatible version you will have to login to the Xbox Live Account that is used on the 360, which allows you to download backward compatible games that you own.
