Xbox 360 slim - Can you make different profiles so someone else can use different saves?

SkScotchegg · 23 Aug 2011 at 11:11

Hi there, my cousin is staying for 10 days and wants to use my xbox but I'm really far into splinter cell conviction and dead space, probably almost completed both and I dont want to lose my saves, I know with PS3 my friends can just login with their profile and then they have their own unique saves for all games but how does this work for xbox 360 because I havent seen any such feature?

Thanks in advance.

you can, do it, just create a new profile, I think you need to sign out (press guide and x) then create profile on the guide

You can set all kinds of restrictions for that profile too if you want

I'd definitely advise creating a new profile for your cousin. I have a friend who lent his xbox to his cousin and his cousin wiped his entire friends list! :eek:

With that in mind, if you have a decent spare USB flash drive I would move all your saves and profile onto it.

Easiest way would just be to go to the dashboard, sign out, create a new profile for your cousin and then let him sign in on the new account, saves in the game are linked to the person's individual account so shouldn't be any problem

but like finite said you could go down that route with a USB drive and save your games onto that if you are really that worried about it

I dont get a good vibe about your cousin

Are you expecting him to sabotage your profile?

If your cousin has an Xbox at home, get them to copy their profile and saves on to a memory stick and bring it over.

If not, create them a profile, then either copy yours to a stick to be safe, or put a password/passcode on your account so they can't sign in to your account when you're not there.
