im upgrading to nex xbox - QUESTION

nevaeh-2die-4

I’m taking the plunge sick of that noise Hoover .

i don’t think many of the game shops are keen on doing profile transfers.

I have me a 8 gig stick...

What do I need to do in order to have my profile and saves on my new xbox.


Cheers

The 8GB USB is plenty for game saves. You put the usb into you old xbox and then it'll format it for use with the 360. Then it's just a case of ticking the content you want transfered.

You just recover your Gamertag from live when you get the new xbox then put the usb stick in and transfer you game saves over.

Simples.

rather than starting another transfer thread.....

Can I just copy over DLC from the old console to the new one using USB ? I also have paid for the Rockband 1 song list to be used in RB2 can this just be transfered again ?

You will need to transfer the licencses as well.

Go to xbox.com/drm and that will let you transfer the licenses to your new console as long as it's connected to live (silver or gold)

You can then transfer the content using the USB method above or download it again from your download history.

NB I didn't go to any of the hassle of going to the Xbox website and it worked out fine. Just plugged in my drive, transferred the data and that was that. Once the Xbox logged into Live and I tried any game, my saves and licences were back

Can you access your old XBLA games when you're offline?
They should be trials when that happens.

The licences havn't transferred in that case. The games will with the profile that downloaded them as long as it's connected to xbox live.

If your console is dissconnected or you try to play those games on another profile then they will only be trials.

It depends on how you use the games and content I guess but iirc it takes less then 5 minutes to do the transfer so it's worth for the extra flexibility.

Thanks for that, so I can just back up my old data and wipe the HDD as I am selling it on before I get cash for the Slim. Then copy the data back to the new box and do the DRM business.

thinking up getting one of these new xbox slim myself, hope its easy to import PES Option files (PS3 was easy towards the Xbox360 Old Model) or was i missing something.
