XBOX ONE BUYERS BEWARE: 4chan Prank Has Users Bricking Their Consoles!

Gamer Guys and Gals, please be aware:

4chan’s /b/ forum — the same one that convinced lots of people to dunk their phones in water — has now promised new Xbox One users a way to “hack” their new gaming units so they will be backwards compatible.

INSTEAD, IT BRICKS THE CONSOLE, RENDERING IT INOPERABLE.

THERE IS NO WAY TO REVERSE IT.

IF YOU SEE THIS, PLEASE DO NOT DO IT:
