I found a form at the xbox website I can use to request a transfer cable to make a one time transfer from my 20g drive to my 120g drive. But I'm currious about something. Microsoft says the data from the drive will be transfered but game saves will not be transferred. This isn't really a problem since I have a memory card I use to backup my game saves... but what about game saves that are locked to the drive I...http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067313&goto=newpost What do you listen to when using your Custom Soundtrack in games- September 16, 2008 Me, I listen to a bit of everything.

It's between the 20gig model and the 60gig model. They are both at Circuit City. Both have HDMI. I don't really care about more HD space, so I'm leaning towards the 20gig model. It's $50 less. However, it seems like newer 360's are more reliable. Is the 20gig version with HDMI going to be as reliable as the newer 60gig model Are there any differences other than the obvious hard drive space Thanks.http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067050&goto=newpost |
