360 Transfer cables going for £12 - £16 on Ebay!

Apparently there is at least a 7 week wait on these, so they are trading hands on Ebay quite quickly. If you have one, get it up there!

I wish it was only a 7 week wait. I've been waiting since the end of August.

There seem to be a lot more on Ebay now than there were a couple of weeks ago. MS must have sent a load out, just not to me.

Nice one.

Why don't you all chip in for one and then share it?

Raymond Lin · 24 Oct 2007 at 23:36

How do you get one from MS ? I have a Premium, but if it goes pop, i plan to get an Elite.

someone should do rent a cable , £5 for a week

Couldn't you just use a memory card?

No, the memory card can only be used to trasnfer some of the content. If you want to copy EVERYTHING from your 20gb HDD to the 120gb HDD you need the transfer cable. I can see why it wasn't included in the box, as I guess a lot of people would not need/use it. But they should have made sure they had enough cables to supply when deciding to make it a mail in service to get the cable.

You download a form, print it out, fill in your address and serial number of your Elite and Premium consoles, then post it.

Then you wait, and wait, and wait.

I am betting the Ebay cables are several hands old by now!

Oliet_No1 · 25 Oct 2007 at 19:54

Yep - but selling them is really really wrong.

I have been to church every single night to ask for forgiveness - since i offered to sell one for a fiver on these very forums (and recieved the biggest slagging off since Bin Laden went to George Bush's BBQ one night)

It still hurts.

dannyjo22 · 25 Oct 2007 at 19:56

So what happens if I upgrade to the 120gig HDD bought seperately? Can I still get the transfer cable off them?

Oliet_No1 · 25 Oct 2007 at 19:58

If anyone wants one i will happily send them mine-for nowt.

PM me.

Although i do want it back after use.

I think it was just me and Nokkon that said is was cheeky. You also seemed to have changed your tune which is very lame. If you're going to be all high and mighty about it you might as well just of stuck with the "£5 charge is fair".

But w/e. You're sending it out now for free so that's something.
