Two short 360 questions

Spuderoony · 20 Sep 2008 at 10:57

Getting an Elite and selling my old Premium on.

1) Will the transfer copy all my game saves + downloadable content (COD4 maps, Rock Band DLC, etc.)?

2) Do the Elites come with a HDMI cable or do I need to buy one separately?

Thanks!

1- Yes, im sure it copies everything.

2- yes it comes with one

"Will the transfer..."

How are you transferring all your stuff across?

Noel Gallagher · 20 Sep 2008 at 11:11

I assumed he ment that transfer kit, as it's the only way?

on a similar note with the DLCs you bought will it allow you to download them again on the new xbox?

I was assuming the Elite came with the transfer kit. Is that wrong?

No it does not come with the kit, You can send away and get it free. If you go to xbox.com and go to the support section you print a form and send it off. Takes about 2 weeks to get the cable. You need the serial of your old 360 and your elite.

This is the page you need http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/systemuse/xbox360/console/datamigration.htm

That's the order form that the above page eventually links to, but it says 'For North And South America'. I can't see a UK equivalent.

As per my link at the bottom uk pdf to send away..

Can I hijack and ask a question,

Do all new 360's have HDMI connections now?

That only says for upgrading to an elite, Im looking to replace my dying Pro with a new premium, but obviously I'll want to transfer my dlc, but I only have a 64mb memory card, is it possible?

Same thing to be honest, you had a pro, now an elite i'd class that as 'upgrading'

Spuderoony · 20 Sep 2008 at 11:47

Gone for a 60gb Premium instead of an Elite to replace my old 20gb Premium.

Hopefully that form is still valid for that sort of upgrade too.

Yea, thats what Im doing, I quite fancy the 60Gb

MOOGLEYS · 20 Sep 2008 at 12:53

As far as i,m aware the free Data transfer kit is only available with a new elite console. Best to call MS and check.

ic1male · 20 Sep 2008 at 13:16

What you will have to do is go to Xbox.com and use the License Transfer Tool to authenticate all your DLC to the new console or else you'll only be able to use it when you are signed in to Xbox Live.

EDIT: Or does the transfer software do that bit for you?

MOOGLEYS · 20 Sep 2008 at 13:42

As far as i,m aware it does this for you, I only used the transfer kit on mine and can still access all my downloads games etc without being online.
