Fake Backwards Compatibility Instructions Brick Xbox One

[Blazer1985]

To be fair, despite those idiots, I'm fairly surprised Microsoft left something so "dangerous" in a public firmware...

I love the way people have no empathy or sympathy for others these days, yet at the first sign of trouble would probably go running to mummy or daddy for help.

Sure it's a little naïve to believe and try something like this, but it's a bit sick to get pleasure from their misfortune.

Come on it not like someone died or got injured. Yea its mean to laugh at the expense of other but some just made a really, really silly decision to believe a hack they found on the internet and broke their $500 toy.

That's all it is a toy, not like they broke their car and now can't go into work or something.

you could get free Xbox One downloaded games if you typed in your username whilst sitting with your feet in a bowl of water, you can be damn sure that at least one dumbass will try it.

Hot or cold, tap or distilled? Please respond quickly, I'm in a hurry! =)

This is a classic example of herd-mentality, you could do exactly the same with any list of instructions, if you were to post that you could get free Xbox One downloaded games if you typed in your username whilst sitting with your feet in a bowl of water, you can be damn sure that at least one dumbass will try it.

This has nothing to do with the herd mentality jabroni. People were doing this by themselves. This has to do with individuals being stupid and is the exact opposite of what you are trying to say. Spend more time thinking about what you are saying and less time trying to sound smart.

I heard you could overlock your XBone by putting it in the oven for 5 hours at 425F!
And double the hard drive space by microwaving it for 20 minutes on HIGH

Herd mentality, or mob mentality, describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors, follow trends, and/or purchase items.

It only takes one troll to comment that it worked. Have you ever read youtube comments? You don't need any sort of credentials or proof to convince people of anything, no matter how ridiculous. People were doing this by themselves, as opposed to what? In the digital age, the internet can substitute for the large area where people would gather and conduct herd mentality type behavior.
