    Backward compatibility for Xbox 360 games on Xbox One is great, but there is one teeny tiny snag. You can't actually buy Xbox 360 titles directly from the Xbox Games Store on Xbox One, which also means having to find other ways of downloading you free Xbox 360 Games with Gold each month.​
    You also need to have a credit card attached to your Xbox Live account to download your free games, even though they cost nothing. Having gift card credit in your account also doesn't enable you to download free games, as the system demands a payment option.​
    Thankfully, Microsoft is looking into a workaround for this very problem, with Xbox boss Phil Spencer telling one enquiring fan on Twitter: "We've heard this request and we are working on a solution." Hopefully that means we'll be able to purchase Xbox 360 games on Xbox One soon.​
