Quick HDD Transfer Cable Question


Recommended Posts

Hi there just a couple of quick questions, hope you can find the time to answer.

If I buy 360 60GB starter pack can I ring up MS and get the transfer cable/CD free, I have an Arcade 360 but it has a 20GB HDD on it that I bought seperate. I am in the UK by the way if that matters.

Will the cable carry over all of my arcade games, game saves, profiles, achievements, avatars, outfits for avatars, halo 3 pictures, custom maps, everything? i.e. Will it be just like I had never changed HDD and just gained a lot of extra space?

I hope that you can answer these questions for me, thank you :)

Richard.

EDIT:

If anyone had a HDD transfer cable that they would be willing to send me then I would be happy to send it along to another Neowin member after use if it's needed?

I thought since I am in the UK MS may not send em a transfer cable, meh.

I was jsut about to order the ?50 60GB Starter Kit and created a Gameplay.com account, got to the point where I had to enter my card details and thought, woah woah woah woah. What am I doing?! Is game installation really that important to me? No it isn't, I will stick with the lil' 20 Gigger thank you.

Apologies for starting this thread, it was just a brief flirtation with yet more xbox expenditure.

P.S. Unspoken heresy, do you find it annoying having an odd number of gamerscore points ending in a 7 or 2 all the time, I do, I really do!

EDIT:

Freakin Awesome! My Neowin Avatar changed automatically when I changed my Xbox gamerpic, makes sense really, but it's a nice unexpected surprise for me xD

before you decide to buy the 60gb HDD, maybe call up M$ and ask them if they will send one out..I'd expect that they should cause they can't expect all us 20gb owners who want to upgrade to be happy to start all over again
