HDMI In-Plays 360 games?

[unstoppablekem]

I was wondering if I could plug in my 360 into the One using hdmi in, and play my 360 games. Is that possible? And would I have to put in the disc in the 360, or could I put it in the One? Hope you guys know. Thanks.

Apparently it works, but then you don't have the nifty cable-box stuff....

The disk has to go into the 360 I believe.

Decisions, decisions...

Its been said that you can do this (even with the PS4 if you so desired). Essentially, the XBOX One, would just be the pass through. You'd be able to play your 360 (with your 360 controller I'd bet) and still be connected to all the goodness that is the XBOX One. Though, I wonder if you could be signed into XBOX Live on both the 360 and the One... Would Microsoft allow that? Could you do that with the original XBOX and the 360?

I'm not sure. Hmm...

I'm not sure. Hmm...

Since there's no backwards compatibility, I'm gonna say "probably". I think on the 360 you could only be signed into one system at a time for DRM reasons.

This could be done, but I read somewhere that MS said it would not be ideal because of the lag you would have in the video signal (which would make controller inputs late). They said this in reference to the idea of running a PS4 through the X1, seems like it would be no different with X360.

“It is an extremely small lag that the human eye will not be able to perceive,” Henshaw said.

You would put the disc in the 360 and use it's controller. But it's doable, yes.
