Video Games: Xbox One solves X360 BC problem by starting another problem

Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb - better known as Major Nelson - has revealed that you can plug an Xbox 360 into the Xbox One using the new HDMI-in port on the console.

"Absolutely; you can certainly plug an Xbox 360 in the back - that was one of my first questions when I heard about the [HDMI-in] feature," he told a Reddit Games interviewer at E3.

He stopped short of explaining why you'd want to do that, but the inference from the question was that you might want to use the Xbox One UI, or perhaps make use of its multi-tasking while playing.

Lemme pay up doubling my electric bills, buy a Xbox 360 and plug it to my Xbox One in my already compacted TV stand just to play Xbox 360 games. The kiiis...

This sounds confusing as hell.

This and the fact that the PS4 is 100 dollars cheaper than XBone are the final blow to this project. Where do they get these people?

So wait, their solution is to unplug your cable box, plug in your 360, and run two game consoles at the same time?

That ruins their entire argument about how it's so inconvenient to change the source of your TV between the Xbone and your cable box, because now you have to physically get up and unplug ****

Why not just plug in the damn 360 directly in the TV and play the 360 games like that? Mess.

Wait so it has a duel HDMI input thing? that could be the explanation for it.
Get a long HDMI cable and problem solved they can both sit side by side.

But two on the at the same time tho

That's how the cable thing works. You plug your cable box into the HDMI in and then plug the Xbone into your TV with the HDMI out.

If someone wanted to plug in both their 360 and their cable box, they'd have to unplug it each time they wanted to switch.

lol bye. That's too much work.
