Right, but to download your 360 game onto your X1 you have to first insert the disc into the system. Taken from the official Xbox site:

"For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalog, simply insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive"

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility

Yes right now they work the same way as X1 physical games you need the disc to dowload them and the disc in the drive to play them but I'm sure they will be added to the marketplace eventually.  Also a lot of those games will be titles that where digital only on the 360 also like Shadow Complex, and Super Meat Boy.

Yes of course they will be added to the marketplace but that doesn't change what I'm saying, say you own a physical disc of RDR on 360, then you won't be able to play that on this rumoured X1 unless you rebuy it on the X1 marketplace. There shouldn't be a problem with the digital only games.


But if you owned it digital on the 360 you should be able to re download it for free on that disc less X1 also since all your previous digital purchases are attached to your gamertag.  Anyway it looks like that rumor is false anyway towards the end of the generation I could see it happen though.  Makes more sense this gen then last gen since all games are now available from day one digital and certain games give you early access if you buy them digital.
