SOOOO CONFUSED - DIRT 3 - BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY - XBOX ONE - GWL account - YES /NO ???

So super confused SO I don't want anybody else to post on this thread so that we can get an OFFICIAL answer from someone that works in MS Xbox division.

First, I have an ACTIVE GWL account, which I paid for BY credit card. The CC details ARE in my xbox account details on website and the xbox.

Second, can we download Xbox 360 games for Xbox one OR NOT? WITHOUT 360 CONSOLE????

Third, if so HOW? If not, WHY?

I don't want work around. Just tell me if it is MY problem or MS problem. Dirt 3 deadline is today or tomorrow.

:)

 

Red Dead Redemption DLC

Yes.

DOOM II (from DOOM 3 BFG edition)

Well these are the games which are now backwards compatible

under the letter D:

Deadliest Warrior: Legends

Defense Grid

DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION

DiRT 3

DiRT Showdown

Discs of Tron

Doom

Doom II

Doritos Crash Course

... bump ...

I will keep this at the front so MS answers. PLEASE don't comment so that we keep only official answers from MS.

 

Second, can we download Xbox 360 games for Xbox one OR NOT? WITHOUT 360 CONSOLE????

Yes but first you need to go to
www.xbox.com/.../games-with-gold and select “Download From Xbox Store” and then “Download To Xbox 360”. This will register the game to your account which will then show up on the ready to install list one your Xbox One.

 

Got it working. Finally! Thank you Steve. You deserved a medal.

Ok all. Plain English.

I have an active GWL account.

I have an Xbox one, no xbox 360 console.

My CC details are on Microsoft database already because I got the GWL account.

Before: When I go to download the Dirt 3 from the xbox 360 store website, I get .... NO VALID PAYMENT etc .... and I couldn't download the game.

BUT is seems that ...

(1) you have to register your CC from Xbox one to Xbox 360.

(2) to do that, all I had to do was to change my location. I live in Hong Kong but the default for the billing information was the US?? Therefore I just went to

live.xbox.com/.../AccountMigration

and changed it and so now I can download 360 games. (remember I am in HK and the migration page would be different for you)

Already the deadline for Dirt 3 has gone and I didn't download it but now downloading Dungeon Siege, which is a 360 game. Hopefully it will download and play without any problems.

What a bother. Good luck ....

 

Obviously, it is MS oversight.

Why would I have to change my account from US country region when my CC is a Hong Kong based card, I am billed in Hong Kong so my registered address is in Hong Kong?

When I applied for GWL, all my billing information should be HK and in their system already as HK
