Sadly no, I don't own an Xbox 360

So I just downloaded the windows 10 Xbox one update, and obviously this contains the backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games. So I go to the Xbox store to find out all Xbox 360 games are "Bundle Only".

Does this mean I have to buy them from a game store or do I need to own an Xbox 360?
