    Requires a Billing Account?


    I have a question, when I attempt to get a FREE backward compatible game on my Xbox One it brings up a message that I NEED an alternate payment option. Before anyone brings it up, I DO NOT have a 360, so that is not an option to purchase the game on. Why
    is this?

    :)

    I still get the same this morning. When I try and download Dead Space all I get is

    Sorry

    Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again

    I actually still own the game but didn't want the hassle of putting the disc in every time I played.

    The payment system of the Xbox One and Xbox 360 are not the same.

    Requires a Billing Account?

    The 360 store is set up differently than the store on the One/website. The One/website does not consider your Microsoft account balance to be a valid payment option for 360 content so you have to have either a credit card or Paypal on file in order to make
    360 purchases, even if they are free.

    ...WHAT?! I "HAVE" TO HAVE A CARD OPTION?! THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE PREPAID CARDS?!!

    excuse me while I try to worm this through my head because this just sounds like complete lunacy...this has NEVER been a requirement before and it shouldn't be NOW!

    I don't own a 360 anymore ...and if a payment option is NECESSARY then I have money on my account. How come it's not detecting that?
