    Why can't I use my Xbox gift cards to purchase backwards compatible titles from the 360 and now the origional Xbox? I would rather not link a PayPal account or a CC to my Xbox. This doesn't make any sense to me.

    The One Store/website have never been updated to see the Microsoft account balance as a valid payment option for 360 content. Unfortunately the only way to make the purchase using your balance is through a 360 console.

    Can't use my Xbox gift cards to purchase Backwards compatibility titles.

    Also I know I could purchase them straight from my 360 console but that doesn't work for the new OG xbox games.

    Hey there Arcanegon.

    Sorry to hear the frustrations, I'm afraid as of now there isn't a way to use your balance to purchase Backward Compatible titles. You'll need to use a different purchasing method for that.

    I can not download skate 3

    Are you trying to make the purchase on the One, website, or 360? In order to use the funds from gift cards, the purchase has to be made on the 360 since it's a backwards compatible title.

    But it's backwards compatiable? He can't use gift cards to buy backwards compatible games?

    cannot buy anything from the microsoft store even though i have money.

    Backward compatible titles can't be purchased with prepaid cards.

    You'll need a creditcard or paypal for these kind of purchases.
