[Official] Xbox 360 Data Transfer Cable Thread


Recommended Posts

OK, so I'll be getting the Xbox Live Starter Kit for Easter, which costs ?55 on Play.com, and it includes an ethernet cable, 3 months of Xbox Live Gold, a headset, and a 60GB hard drive; and it's the latter I'm after the most. I'll finally be glad to retire my old 20GB hard drive. But unfortunately, the kit doesn't come with the Data Transfer Cable that you need to move all your data and licenses over, so this is where this thread comes in.

On one of my old forums that I visited, we had a thread started up where one of the users happily gave his transfer cable to a fellow user on the site, and then the next user who asked for it got it sent to them by the current owner, and so on.

I'd really appreciate it if someone here on Neowin would be more than willing to send me the cable and CD. And then I'll be more than happy to send it off to the next user who asks for it, and so on.

So, is anyone willing?:))

Sounds like a good idea, and thanks for making me aware of that deal on play! I've got a broken headset, and could do with a 60gb drive so I might get that in the next week or so. And would like to be next in line for the data cable :p

I'm thinking of probably getting it at GAME instead of Play.com. It's a fiver extra, but I can get points on my reward card, plus I can pick it up in store instead of waiting a few days for it to arrive.

Sadly, I have no use for a cable yet now. :( I was hoping to get the Live Starter Kit for Easter, but it's been put on hold due to a lack of money. I should have some money in about a week, though.

Haven't heard anything from El Marto. :(

Is anyone willing to send me their cable, please? I ordered a 120GB HDD off CEX.co.uk earlier this week for just ?55, and it just arrived!:)) I'm currently installing a few games on it.

MJ, I did exactly the same thing as you.

Mine's black on a white/grey 360 but what the heck.

Just ring MS and ask for one, I did and they sent one straight out, no fuss at all.

Nice! :) I thought you had to own an elite to get a cable off them. How long do they take to get it to you? And what's their number?

I have to agree with smashing pumpkin, when i had to buy a new 360 due to the old one dying, I got one with a 60GB drive. All I did was call MS up and plead ignorance saying I had just bought a new 360 due to the old one dying and now could not transfer my saves\downloads etc over to the new one. They sent me one in the post. Sadly I no onger have it as a friend needed it when he bought a 120GB drive for his arcade machine and he promptly (suspiciously?) lost it when I asked for it back :( (Im sure he put it on ebay or sold it to sux, sorry cex :()

Not sure what the number is off the top of my head, but just check online. Just ring xbox support. I just said "I need a data transfer kit please". "Okay sir what's the address?"

Cant remember how quick it came, but very quick indeed iirc.

Thanks, Smashing Pumpkin! :) I rang up Microsoft today (didn't think they'd be open on a Sunday) and it's all been sorted out, and they're sending me a transfer kit free of charge! :) They say it'll take up to 10 working days, so that's not too bad.
