I picked this up thinking it would be great now that you can save games to your HDD, but it doesn't come with a migration cable, so I had to phone up xbox support, listen to some stupid recorded american voice telling me to explain my problem. Finally got through to a person and they were asking me all these questions about my new Elite console, which I didn't buy . . . .

So they sent it, 10days later it arrives, I read the instructions and it says:

IMPORTANT[/b]>

During the transfer process, all content on your new Xbox 360 Hard Drive will be erased. Xbox LIVE Arcade games and most other content purchased on Xbox LIVE Marketplace can be re-downloaded free of charge.

It then goes on to say:

To avoid erasing existing game saves or gamer profiles on your new hard drive, you can move them to an Xbox 360 Memory Unit (sold separately) for temporary storage. Once the hard drive content transfer is complete, you can then safely copy your game saves or profile to your new hard drive.

So basically I'm bricking it. Do I risk losing all my game saves? Or am I just reading this wrong, and all the current content on my old HDD will stay intact.

Basically they advise you to backup any important data to a MU before making the transfer in case anything goes wrong with it or its corrupt (i.e game saves and profiles).

You aren't bricking anything. Once the transfer is complete you can still use the old HDD or sell it on. It will be completely formatted though during the transfer.

Anyone got any links for a cheap 120GB HD? I still have my cable from when I upgraded to a 20GB machine to a 60GB machine, but since the new dash installing games is a must and thus I want a bigger HD :)

I don't mean bricking the device. I mean I'm s**ting bricks. I don't want to have all my stuff erased. Looks like I'll have to fork out for a memory card then to be on the safe side.

Do you know anyone you can borrow one from? you will only really need it for save games, profiles can be obtained again by the retrieval system. Mind you saying that you can only move saves to the same device the profile is located on :(

Gotcha :p

Without the "s*******" infront of it I thought you meant brick the hardware :laugh:

And yeah I tried loading CCLOnline too but it was taking too long. Worth checking if it ever loads though.

Hey, does anyone know about any decent offers for Rock Band 2? I can only find it for ?40, which is too much. If I could find it for ?30 or less, I'm laughing then!:D:D

Thanks for the GHWT offer!

FYI, it works if you bought the band bundle like I did as well. Also, please note you get to pick 5 songs from a list of only 10:

  • "No Rain" by Blind Melon
  • "Human" by The Killers (My Pick #1)
  • "The Shock of the Lightning" by Oasis (My Pick #2)
  • "Supernatural Superserious" by R.E.M. (My Pick #3)
  • "The Everlasting Gaze" by the Smashing Pumpkins (My Pick #4)
  • "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner
  • "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield
  • "Salute Your Solutions" by The Raconteurs
  • "Sliver" by Nirvana
  • "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston (My Pick #5)

I'm really disappointed by the list. I wanted to get the James Bond theme! Also, Nickelback is finally coming today!!!

Oh, another BTW: When you complete the offer and choose your tracks, you're greeted with a message that says "You will recieve instructions on how to download your tracks in 4-6 weeks via the email address you provided."

4 BLOODY WEEKS?!?!
