LMAO But its different if you can charge for them again. My OG Xbox and 360 games on X1 are free because I already own the discs. Just pop 'em in and download. Thank you Microsoft and God bless the United States.
Too funny my friend.
This is right up there with some of the best backfires ever. lol :P
You heard it here, folks. Xbox is giving away 500+ games completely free now. Wait, what? You mean you have to buy the games first? Then whatever do they mean?!?!
Good glory- having to make inferences in 2018!?
Pop my disc of Knights of the Old Republic in my Xbox One, what happens? Wow! The game starts playing!?
Pop a disc of Metal Gear Solid 1 in a PS4, what happens? Nada? What's the answer? Buy this $100 separate product to experience the game.
This reminds me though- the og Xbox options are very limited. They need to get on that.
@BenjaminBanklin: I fail to see how the tweet is in response to a classic console, but I guess you would always find a negative about ms ..... Whatever gets your juices flowing.

Put it in the PS1 that you likely still own if you have the game? Besides, this isn't the answer to BC on PS4, it's a collectible Sony trinket that happens to play old games.

LOL! And it's so obvious MS is bitter about this, or anything that gives Sony attention. They didn't say anything like this when Nintendo made their classic systems.
They claim to be against console wars but can't stop being as triggered as their fandom.

Because god forbid Microsoft advertise anything right. ROFLMAO! Good lord you fanboys are just idiots beyond belief anymore. I just feel sorry for you!
It's pretty obvious that "free" refers to being able to play in on the xOne, not to you not having to own the game.
Shhhhhhh his reading comprehension skills are complete shit. Let him be! Just feel sorry for the poor little fanboy. ROFLMAO!
We know what they mean, it's just worded dumb, and also pathetically salty. I mean, they have a potentially 90+ game around the corner and throwing salt over this when, well, they could just make an Xbox classic. That would beat making the 50th new controller.
Their twit claimed you could play 500 games totally free..Hahahaa
Play 500+ Classic Xbox & Xbox 360 titles on your Xbox One today... totally for free
Is not free because if you don't own the games you most BUY them. Hahahahaa
People begin to troll them..Hahahahahaaa

No is not and your grasping as always,they claim that you can play 500 classic games totally free for FREE when that is not true you must own the game..hahahahaa
@ten_pints said:
I think MS are assuming you already own the games, in any case Microsoft can't really say shit, Xbox didn't exist in the PS1 era, and the the PS4 probably no longer has the hardware capability to pass the anti piracy measures on the original discs (the copy protection worked by having access to the drive information about laser wobble on specific parts on the disc).

Because they still shouldn't do any advertising right. They are still trying to sell a console that is what the are in this business to do. Please just quit being a damn idiot. WOW!
Social media is laughable. Anytime someone responds negatively to a tweet, the original person is presented as being owned or the original intent completely backfired even when it is not true. It's like reading a script because you know how it goes.

It is the shitty world we live in now. I honestly believe social media is the worse thing to ever happen to society. It has done nothing good.
i actually like this move by MS. it means they are trying and getting ambitious to take down sony.
Na you just hate anything sony.

NO what they claim OPENLY is that you can play 500 classic games on xbox one for free ,you can't expect that anyone who read that would think that they are referring to games they already own,as it doesn't say a single word about backward compatibility,if they would have claim you can use the xbox one backward compatibility to play 500 games free then there is no doubt.
@Archangel3371 said:
I thought that tweet was quite funny myself although it looks like this thread has backfired very hard and that is hilarious as well. ?
It didn't just read the comments on the tweet people begin trolling MS for saying you can play 500 classic for free when in reality is not for free you most own the game,their wording was poor for not saying misleading.
@phbz said:
Free as in you don't have to buy the games twice.
But we know how this goes. If Nintendo does it it's because it's milking their fans based on nostalgia, if PS does it it's 4 da gamers.
Yes and when you point to me where in hell it says that of or imply it on the original tweet you will have a point.
Stop inserting words you think go in a sentence that MS forgot to put.
This is down right stupid MS openly claim that you can play 500 classic games for FREE without even mentioning backward compatibility or making things clear is just poor wording and misleading.

In what part there ^^ say anything about backward compatibility? Tell me in what part is says if you own one of the 500 games in question you can play them free.
They fu** the wording is just wrong and they got trolled on twitter for it..ahahahahaa
Is not totally free i don't own my 360 games any more since my 360 RROD,hes talking as if you could play them free of any charge when you most own the game.
How can you people see other meaning to something so clear it's just pure damn fanboysm.
I know that he is talking about games that people may own,i am not that stupid,but the wording is completely wrong and misleading and doesn't say a single word about BC.
I have to give praise to Microsoft over Sony and Nintendo, because Microsoft was the first to release one of these "classic" edition consoles: XBOX One - because the only games you can play on it are XBOX and 360, it has no current gen games.

This isn't advertising, it's trying to kick dirt over a competitors shoe like a whiny brat. Tell me why they didn't do this kind of "advertising" when Nintendo made classic consoles. Bet you can't tell me that one, huh? Ol' grand wizard of the Xbox white knights. But anyway, it's just funny. This is kind of sourpuss pouting has kind of set the standard for Xbox the whole gen.
To be fair, Microsoft offers more than enough regarding their older products. Xbox Original games are running at 4K. Something I couldn't begin thinking of a few years back.

How about the same way they did with the 80 gig PS3? They got PS2 games running and for sale on the PS store for PS4. Are you saying they cant for PS1?
I bet the majority of nongamers reading that tweet think they get the games free. It's an issue if they are buying it for family or friends as a gift. Isn't that who MS is targeting by this tweet anyways? (No way they are targeting gamers, as it's obvious we all know how that fake BC works).

PS4 doesn't support CDs.
PS4 also doesn't support PS2 discs but PS2 games are being sold on the PS4. Do the same thing. Show me where I said they had to run from disc. All the disc is used for with X1 is identification. The game is downloaded from the store.
@BenjaminBanklin: I can't believe how many people are saying you got wrecked, even people I thought were cows. It's a good thread on false advertising. Not sure the title is correct(aimed at PSmini thing). I'm guessing the tweet will come down, which will prove the point of false advertising.
I’m not sure how anyone can interpret ms’ tweet differently than what they said. It says totally free - which means to anyone other than a retardo lem, if I buy a xbone I can play 500 old games totally free.
Gonna wait for Aaron Greenberg to come in and backpeddle.

You are an idiot it is advertising. That is what every company in the world does, but keep spouting off idiot.
I am done with this thread. Will someone please tell Microsoft's PR team they are not allowed to ever advertise any feature when Sony makes an announcement. Thanks!

Funny the person that can't hardly even form a complete sentence is spouting off about a poorly worded tweet. Oh the irony!
Xbox is basically saying, if you own 500 Xbox games, and an XBOX, you get to play 500 games totally for free! The "totally for free" comment is just dumb since it requires one to previously own 500 games from prior gens. Thousands of dollars of previous investment. Let's put it this way, Xbots used to criticize the way the games that came with PS+ were advertised as free, do you think this comment makes any more sense in this context?
Retro consoles obviously aren't aimed at people who have vast collections of retro games lying around. They are aimed at people who probably tossed those games years ago, or perhaps at kids who never got them (so their parents can get them a few of the same games they had growing up).
I agree. Also the fact that Microsoft did this RIGHT after Sony announced theirs is suspicious as well. It's clear that they're jealous of Sony's success, which is why they throw jabs at them. I'm not even the biggest Sony fan, but this is icky. I hate when people take shots at the competition. It screams insecure and jealous to me. I don't even like it when Reggie takes shots at the competition or Sony does it. If you were truly secure with your product, you would act like Beyonce and not even respond to the noise.

They claim to be against console wars but can't stop being as triggered as their fandom.
As much as Sony fans can irritate me sometimes, I do respect this stance. Sony fans have kept their same consistent message, which is "we cheer for Sony's domination. Even when we might like the other consoles, it's clear we want Sony on top." In that case, I can respect it. Same with Nintendo fans, they just want Nintendo to be on top, or they just want Nintendo to continue making all of their first party games. With Xbox fans, they pretend to be nice when they're losing, but you know that if they were winning, they would sing a different tune. Like the ones shitting on the Wii U and wishing that Nintendo would go third party, but now that the Switch is doing well and their console is gearing up for last place, they're saying shit like, "this is a good thing for gaming. EVERYONE is winning and doing well. You don't want one to leave or else it'll be a monopoly! :)" Like they weren't licking their lips and rubbing their hands at the thought of Mario on the Xbox.
Because god forbid Microsoft advertise anything right. ROFLMAO! Good lord you fanboys are just idiots beyond belief anymore. I just feel sorry for you!
And such a great advertisement not once they mention backward compatibility and claim 500 games are free..lol
Kind of remind me of this..lol

Oh i know the PS3 ran PS2 and PS1 games,but the PS3 was design that way,it was design to play PS2 games which included CD and DVD games,it was able to play PS1 games as well by that point by emulation without problems.
The PS4 can't play ps1 is a physical impossibility.
@BenjaminBanklin said:

Lemmings are making a show of of this and claiming sony is forcing people to pay again,when in reality the PS4 doesn't support cds unlike the PS3..lol

The PS4 support DVD i watch dvd movies on my PS4,the PS4 doesn't physically recognise cds period,is not the same.
How the hell will it be backward compatible if you can't play the disc? WTF man then that is not backward compatibility that is a game rewrite to work on xbox,if you can't insert a xbox 360 game on xbox one and can play it without downloading it first what the fu** is that shit,i didn't know that so basically any one who doesn't have internet is fu** and can't play backward compatible games,why do you think there was such a backlash for MS requiring online?
No wonder it work with so little games,what you download is a digital version made to work on xbox one rather than play your game period.
@Bread_or_Decide said:
If you already own the game, then there's no barrier to entry. Only an idiot thinks its free.
Please highly where the fu** MS say that,since what they claimed is that you could play them free period,no buts no nothing no mention whatsoever of BC.
The fact that they claim you can play the games free. But that's not really true. They have to be purchased/acquired still.
Yeah, it's like claiming that Steam allows you to play thousands of games on your PC for free -- assuming you've already purchased them. In other words, they're not actually free, and Microsoft's wording is blatantly misleading. Folks in the Twitter thread quickly picked up on it.
I can't believe people don't understand that you don't need to pay for the BC version. It requires some work to make this happen in which MS does for free!
Because god forbid Microsoft advertise anything right. ROFLMAO! Good lord you fanboys are just idiots beyond belief anymore. I just feel sorry for you!
