所以你刚刚得到了一个新的闪亮的圣诞节(Christmas)Xbox One？这很不错，但是如果你还有一台旧的Xbox 360怎么办？您可以在新的Xbox One上玩Xbox 360游戏吗？您的游戏玩家资料(gamer profile carry)会保留吗？您必须购买另一个 Xbox Live Gold 帐户(Live Gold account)还是可以使用同一个帐户？您可以在Xbox One(Xbox One)上使用Xbox 360控制器吗？您可以在两台主机上登录同一个Xbox Live 档案吗？(Xbox Live profile)无论如何直接将Xbox One链接到Xbox 360吗？
当我拜访一位刚拿到Xbox One的朋友时，我发现自己问了所有这些问题，但不知道它如何与他的旧版Xbox 360配合使用。在本文中，我将尝试为您提供尽可能多的关于这两个控制台如何工作或不能相互工作的详细信息。我花了一段时间才弄清楚这一切，所以我相信这对两个游戏机的所有者都有用。
Xbox 游戏
那么你打算如何处理那些旧的Xbox 360游戏呢？或者，如果您刚刚为Xbox 360购买了像(Xbox 360)Grand Theft Auto V这样的新游戏怎么办？你能在你的Xbox One上玩吗？那么答案是肯定的和否定的。
答案是否定的，因为Xbox One和 Xbox 360 游戏不兼容。这意味着您无法将 Xbox 360 游戏弹出到Xbox One控制台并开始播放。这条规则没有例外。没有旧游戏将在新控制台上播放。那我怎么也答应了？
嗯， Xbox One(Xbox One)背面有一个漂亮的小端口，称为HDMI 输入(HDMI Input)。在它上方，您会看到它显示Sat/Cab，因为它用于将您的有线电视或卫星电视盒(cable or satellite box)连接到您的Xbox One ，以便您可以通过(Xbox One)Xbox观看电视。但是，您也可以将其他设备连接到此端口，包括另一个Xbox 360。事实上，您甚至可以将PS3、PS4或Wii U连接到Xbox One！
这实际上是一个非常简洁的功能，您只需说“ Xbox，看电视”，它就会加载连接到该特定端口的任何设备。因此，如果连接了Xbox 360，您将能够通过Xbox One玩游戏。它还可以为您的电视或接收器节省宝贵的(TV or receiver)HDMI 端口(HDMI port)用于其他用途。所以这基本上就是游戏的一切。
答案也是肯定的，因为微软(Microsoft)已经表示他们将来可能会通过云支持向后兼容。基本上(Basically)，将游戏从云服务器流式传输到您的Xbox One控制台。但是，他们表示在慢速Internet(Internet)连接上体验不是很好，因此它不会在 2014 年发布，如果有的话。
Microsoft 帐户和 Xbox Live
下一个令人困惑的话题是您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)和/或您的 Xbox Live 会员资格(Live membership)。当您使用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)登录 Xbox One 时，几乎所有内容都会在大多数情况下保留。这包括以下内容：
–个人资料(Profile)，包括玩家代号、朋友、成就和玩家分数。
– 您拥有的任何额外会员资格，例如Xbox Live Gold 或 Xbox Music Pass(Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Music Pass)，以及您可能保存的任何付款方式
-您可能添加的任何家庭关系（例如(Any family)儿童帐户(child account)等）都将自动结转
- 您启用的任何隐私设置
–(– Anything)通过Xbox 音乐或 Xbox 视频(Xbox Music or Xbox Video)购买的任何东西都将在相应的音乐或视频部分提供(music or video section)
那么什么不会被继承呢？基本上三件事：游戏，游戏保存和应用程序。同样(Again)，在游戏和游戏存档方面，您也可以将Xbox 360连接到您的Xbox One，然后毫无问题地使用游戏存档玩游戏。您也可以通过这种方式使用这些应用程序，但在Xbox One上再次安装这些应用程序可能更有意义，因为它更快，并且这些应用程序可能是专门为Xbox One更新的。
微软(Microsoft)做的另一件好事是允许你同时登录Xbox One和Xbox 360。这很好，因为这意味着您可以在房子的不同地方同时使用两个控制台而不会出现任何问题。唯一的限制是您可以同时登录一台Xbox One控制台和一台Xbox 360控制台，但实际上没有必要这样做，除非您拥有两个以上的 Xbox 控制台。
配件和外围设备
那么你身边的那 5 个 Xbox 360 控制器呢？Xbox One 有(Xbox One)什么好处？不(Nope)！可悲的是不能使用它们。Kinect怎么样？不(Nope)，Xbox One配备了较新的Kinect，而旧的 Kinect 与较新的控制台不兼容。
您也不能在Xbox One上使用Xbox 360的(Xbox 360)电源砖(power brick)，也不能使用任何其他配件，例如赛车方向盘，甚至无线耳机(wireless headset)。此外，即使您可以将USB 记忆棒(USB stick)插入Xbox 360，但Xbox One尚不支持它。这对某些人来说是一个相当大的问题，因为微软(Microsoft)试图将Xbox 推向一个(Xbox one)多合一的媒体中心，但不能从外部USB 驱动器播放您自己的(USB drive)视频和音乐(videos and music)是一个相当糟糕的事情。显然，它即将推出，但在撰写本文时尚未宣布。
当然，Xbox One兼容 DLNA(DLNA compliant) ，您可以通过这种方式流式传输视频和音乐，但不能通过USB。我没有尝试过的是使用HDMI将(HDMI)Xbox 360连接到Xbox One，然后尝试从Xbox 360上播放(Xbox 360)USB 内容(USB content)。理论上(Theoretically)应该可以正常工作，但我还没有实际测试过。此外，您需要两个控制台，但不是每个人都有。
请注意，这是所有官方信息。就像越狱您的 iDevice 或生根您的Android 手机(Android phone)一样，Xbox One也可以进行改装。CronusMAX的伙计们创造了一个第三方USB 设备(USB device)，可以让你将一系列控制器连接到Xbox One，包括Xbox 360控制器。
结论
将这两个控制台放在一起时，您目前无能为力。有些人对Xbox 360在Xbox One中删除的某些功能感到非常不满，例如在后台播放音乐或从 PC 加载图片或连接USB 设备(USB device)等。谢天谢地，有了HDMI 输入(HDMI input)选项，您仍然可以使用Xbox 360的强大功能，还可以享受(Xbox 360)Xbox One上所有新的超酷游戏。
如果您有Xbox One和Xbox 360，请告诉我们您对每台主机的看法，并告诉我们您如何一起使用它们。享受！
OTT Explains How the Xbox One and Xbox 360 Coexist
Sо you just got а new shiny Xbox Onе for Christmas? That’s pretty swеet, but what if you have an older Xbox 360 still sitting around? Can you play Xbox 360 games оn уour new Xbox One? Does your gamer рrofile carry over? Do you have to buy another Xbox Live Gold account or can you use the sаme one? Can you use an Xbox 360 controller with the Xbox One? Cаn you sign into the same Xbox Live profile on both consoles? Іs there anyway to directly link an Xbox One to an Xbox 360?
I found myself asking all of these questions when I visited a friend who had just got an Xbox One, but didn’t know how it would work with his older Xbox 360. In this article, I’ll try to give you as many details as possible about how the two consoles can work or cannot work with each other. It took me a while to figure it all out, so I’m sure this will be useful for owners of both consoles.
Xbox Games
So what are you going to do with all those old Xbox 360 games? Or what if you just bought a new game like Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox 360? Can you play it on your Xbox One? Well the answer is yes and no.
The answer is no because Xbox One and Xbox 360 games are not compatible. That means you can’t pop a Xbox 360 game into a Xbox One console and start playing it. There is no exception to this rule. No old game will play on the new console. So how come I said yes also?
Well, there’s a nifty little port on the back of the Xbox One called HDMI Input. Above it, you’ll see it says Sat/Cab because it’s meant for connecting your cable or satellite box to your Xbox One so you can watch TV through the Xbox. However, you can also connect other devices to this port including another Xbox 360. If fact, you can even connect a PS3, PS4 or a Wii U to the Xbox One too!
It’s actually a very neat feature and all you have to do is say “Xbox, Watch TV” and it’ll load up whatever device is connected to that particular port. So if an Xbox 360 is connected, you’ll be able to play the game through the Xbox One. It also saves that valuable HDMI port on your TV or receiver for something else. So that’s basically everything with games.
The answer is also yes because Microsoft has stated that they might support backwards compatibility in the future through the cloud. Basically, streaming the games from cloud servers to your Xbox One console. However, they have stated that the experience is not that great on slow Internet connections and therefore it’s not something that will be released in 2014, if ever.
Microsoft Account and Xbox Live
The next big topic of confusion is your Microsoft account and/or your Xbox Live membership. When you sign into your Xbox One with your Microsoft account, pretty much everything carries over for the most part. This include the following:
– Profile including gamertag, friends, achievements, and gamerscore.
– Any extra memberships you have like Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Music Pass plus any payment methods you may have saved
– Any family relationships you may have added like a child account, etc will be carried over automatically
– Any privacy settings you enabled
– Anything purchased through Xbox Music or Xbox Video will be available in the appropriate music or video section
So what doesn’t get carried over? Three things basically: games, game saves and apps. Again, when it comes to games and game saves, you can also just connect your Xbox 360 to your Xbox One and play the games with the games saves with no issue. You’ll be able to use the apps this way also, but it probably makes more sense to install the apps again on the Xbox One since it’s faster and the apps are probably updated specifically for the Xbox One.
Another nice thing Microsoft did was allow you to sign into an Xbox One and Xbox 360 at the same time. That’s nice because it means you can use both consoles simultaneously in different parts of your house without any problem. The only limit is that you can log into one Xbox One console and one Xbox 360 console at the same time, but there’s really never a need to do that unless you have more than two Xbox consoles.
Accessories and Peripherals
So what about those 5 Xbox 360 controllers you have sitting around? Any good with the Xbox One? Nope! Can’t use them sadly. What about the Kinect? Nope, the Xbox One comes with a newer Kinect and the old one is not compatible with the newer console.
You also can’t use the power brick from your Xbox 360 on your Xbox One nor any other accessory like a racing wheel or even the wireless headset. Also, even though you can plug in a USB stick into the Xbox 360, it’s not supported on the Xbox One yet. This is a pretty big issue for some people because Microsoft tries to market the Xbox one as an all-in-one media hub, but not being able to play your own videos and music from an external USB drive is a pretty lame. Apparently, it’s coming soon, but it has not been announced as of the writing of this post.
Of course, the Xbox One is DLNA compliant and you can stream videos and music that way, but not via USB. What I haven’t tried is connecting the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One using HDMI and then trying to play USB content off the Xbox 360. Theoretically is should work just fine, but I haven’t actually tested this out. Also, you need both consoles, which not everyone has.
Note that this is all official information. Like jailbreaking your iDevice or rooting your Android phone, the Xbox One can be modded. The guys over at CronusMAX have created a third-party USB device that lets you connect a whole slew of controllers to the Xbox One, including the Xbox 360 controller.
Conclusion
There isn’t much else you can do at this time with the two consoles together. Some people are really upset by some of the features that the Xbox 360 had that have been removed in the Xbox One like playing music in the background or loading pics from your PC or connecting a USB device, etc. Thankfully with the HDMI input option, you can still use the great features of an Xbox 360 and also enjoy all the new super cool-looking games on the Xbox One.
If you have an Xbox One and an Xbox 360, let us know what you think of each console and tell us how you use them together. Enjoy!
