I think I may be having a blonde moment so bear with me!

I bought a second 360 yesterday as my other half is now into Viva Pinata. I thought it would simply be a matter of loggin in on the second 360 with her profile but there was no way to do this out of the box other than recover the profile, which then rendered it unusable on the first 360.

Basically, I want to be able to login to either 360 with our profiles and play our games (with saves) on either 360. Is this possible?

I bought a memory card to transfer saves, etc.
 
as long as you transfer the updated save everytime you move machine i'd have thought it'd be possible. Don't know for sure though.
 
Kind of possible.
The idea with the profiles is that you can move the profile to a memory card and then to another 360. It ensures the profile can only be on one machine at a time.
Game saves can be moved this way too.

There is a device out there that enables you to copy from the 360 to your PC but it is not a microsoft product and I am not sure it can be discussed here.

Dunno think its been mentioned on here before.

I have two and if I want to move my profile I keep it on the memory card or just pop the hdd on the one i'm using. Better still put your wifes profile on a mem card and yours on the hdd, move as you see fit. She could keep her saves on card and you on hdd.

Of course I'm presuming you have a HDD.
 
Cheers guys. Both the 360s have HDD (both are premiums) and I bought a single memory card. How do I transfer saved games from the HDD on the first 360 to the memory card?

Also, when I use the profile from the memory card on the second 360, I have to recover the profile from XBox Live. It then works fine on there but if I then try to use the profile on the first 360, I then have to recover it again, and so and and so forth. Is this always the case?
 
If it was me I would put one profile on each HDD. Take one hard drive for you one for the mrs. Swap as you see fit.

To transfer saves from the hard drive...

System blade
Memory
Hardrive
Games

Then pick which save you want by pressing Y on the selected game then copy or move I personally copy as a back up.

Select Mem card and your done.

Can be reveresed the other way too.

Hope that helps.
