Purchasing Xbox 360 games with currency via ONLINE.

As I understand it, you can only purchase Xbox 360 games via an Xbox One as part of a bundle. No individual Xbox 360 games can be purchased via the Xbox One store. Microsoft are looking to fix this issue soon.

In the meantime, Xbox 360 games that are BC with the Xbox One can only be purchased either via the Xbox.com website the store on an Xbox 360. Note that purchases via Xbox.com can only be made with a Credit or Debit card, the website does not support account
currency yet. This also applies to Games With Gold titles, even though they are free.

mlsxbox1,

The solution has already been provided above. You cannot use Microsoft currency unless you are physically on a console (Xbox 360 or Xbox One). The issue here is that Backwards Compatible games can only be downloaded from a 360 console or via the Xbox.com
Marketplace which only accepts valid payment options (Credit/Debit cards, PayPal, etc.). Since you can't access the Xbox 360 Marketplace via the Xbox One, you will not be able to purchase 360 games with Microsoft currency via the Xbox One console.

You'll need to purchase the game via the console. The website has never been updated to work with the currency system when purchasing 360 content.

The one thing that was not answered for you and this is assuming that the game is a 360 backwards compatible game and you are trying to do this on a xbox one is this.

The ONLY way to use MS account currency to purchase anything backwards compatible would be to do it directly on a xbox 360 itself you can not use MS account currency to purchase backwards compatible items on a xbox one or on the MS store online.

Hey there TIMEMAN2010,

You can purchase games using currency on their respective consoles: You can use currency to buy Xbox 360 games ON the Xbox 360 just like you can buy Xbox One games ON the Xbox One, but you cannot purchase Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One using microsoft currency.
