I have a new 250gb Xbox but I need to get my games, profile and other shizzle over to the new console from my old style Elite.

What's the best,easiest and most importantly, cheapest way of doing this one?

Cheers if you can help :)

    Plenty of transfer cables on Ebay. It really is the easiest way to do it. Use it and then you sell it back on again -I bought a Microsoft one new, used it and got £11 on Ebay so it cost me £3. :D
  • Shouldn't they all be on the HD?! Transfer it?

    Yes but how? it's all sealed in a little pack thing stuck on the side? :rotfl:

    I do Cisco mpls and switching, not consoles?

    Thats why you use the Microsoft transfer cable. You remove the drive from the Elite, plug it into the cable which goes to a USB port on your new console. You then fire up a disc that comes with it on the new console and it asks you what you want to transfer and it'll also ask you if you want to wipe the old drive afterwards.
