Assuming that it's not too difficult to work with "Enable devkit" I guess.

Still seems like a lot more steps between that and a hacked console. Though I'm not a hacker so maybe this could open them up to hacks. Oh well, they'll probably find a way to fix this without getting rid of the "every console is a dev kit" initiative.

So, the Xbone pretty much has a NT kernel.

Lol'd at the Xbox loop pic.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

What if they can't patch it out and this is the ass-storm?

I have a normal regulated boner.

Everything is always the ass-storm. We've been drowning in asses for weeks now.

What a prick

 

[mrklaw]

Nobody that's as intended. When they announced that every retail console could be switched into a devkit, they had to put in a way somewhere in the dashboard to actually make the switch. Nothing really broken or anything like that... That controller shortcut has been known by devs for a long time now.

you kind of expected that would be by maybe enabling certain xbox live accounts with dev rights or something - not by entering a cheat code and boom.

And shoes.

To be clear there is no way to make your Xbox One backwards compatible & performing steps to attempt this could make your console inoperable

LOL

Yeah, that is a REALY sloppy way of handling it.

iOS is all handled through the developer portal, you register your devices there and get apps provisioned to run on approved devices.

Insane this is the way MS is doing it.

What are you going to do with used sock?

Having access to the dev menu doesn't do shit... you still have to check the "Enable Devkit" checkbox and that's when the console checks the server and then rejects you cause you don't have the proper license.

Major Nelson quoted me, i have no words...

I will buy an Xbone for sure even though it hasn't been launched in Chile yet!

 

[OboroShogun]

What a world we live in when we have to pay to unlock stuff and cheat codes brick your console.

 

[speculawyer]

some man just want to burn the ones and 360 away.

So Microsoft then?

 

[Phades]

*wink wink nudge nudge*

Just don't put it back on his foot afterwards. That's just too low.

I also heard that putting the controller in the microwave for 20 seconds will reduce lag. Can you confirm or deny this? I really need this answered.


EDIT:
I went a head and tried it anyway. It worked! I feel sorry for the people that don't know this amazing secret.

 

[bLaiSe]

The fact that you can access dev stuff by just pressing the shoulder buttons is ridiculous. I hope that a very few people will fall for this.
Think of the children!

Oh, up the butt stuff. Hey, to each their own!

It works better if you cover it with a wet towel first. THAT'S the real secret.

You mean the Xbone version of AC4 is not just the 360 version running in BC mode? Could have fooled me.

We'll finally be able to find out if he lives up to the title of "Major".

Does it kill a part of your soul to have to actually tell people this is a bad idea?

 

[davepoobond]

But I thought no one cared about backwards compatibility

 

[quickwhips]

Lol i changed the sandbox id to BC.Compatibility. It now plays Xbox and Xbox 360 games.

Spoiler

won't play xbox one games

Thanks guys!

Yeah, its pretty shocking that such a simple combination gives access to the developer mode on retail units.

I really hope they plan to patch that out or at least make it a much more complicated process.

 

[Dan]

So good.

Never have I agreed and empathized with you more.

I hear Mars is nice this time of year.

This gif USED TO BE f'n fantastic.

Edit: what in the fuck? You ninja-edited the duck gif? Not cool!

 

[quickwhips]

Will MS help anyone who was silly enough to do this? I mean is there any steps to fix this besides sending your console off to MS?

 

[system11]

you've got a lot to learn about people on the internet

You could probably just drop the last 3 words.
