Xbox 360 Questions

[Broncoholic3233]

Alright, so I've had my old Xbox 360 (white, 20gb) forever. Today I came upon a great deal for a new black Xbox 360 with a 250 GB so I got it.

Is there away to transfer the stuff off my old HD to this new one?

How much is different between the old and new console?


Any answers would be great and save me some time googling and what not after class.

You should beable to format a jump drive to your original xbox and and then transfer it over using that.

The new one shouldn't RROD.

[JakeNbake]

also the jump drive has to be at least a gig. I'm sure it'd be better to use a larger one though.

You can buy a transfer cable from Gamestop or Best Buy.

The slims don't get the red ring of death....unless it's caused by you. The original 360 would get the red rings because of hardware failure. These don't have any issues, so if you get a red ring, it because something you did.

You get 250 gigs, why better than 20. You can now and should start installing all games to your hard drive.

Overall it's just a better xbox.

Just get a 4-8GB flash drive, and you can transfer your data that way. It's what I did when I wanted to get all the data on my 20GB HDD over to my 60GB. Depending on the size of the flash drive,, you may have to keep swapping back in fourth until you get everything on it.

I'm also fairly certain that Microsoft made it so the new Xbox can't get a RROD. Just like the PS3 Slim won't get the YLOD.

Yeah. I just did the USB thing, I was hoping something that simple would work and it did.


Thanks for the replies.


It doesn't do blu-ray though by chance does it, or will I have to keep using the PS3 for that too?

No it doesn't. But Xbox is coming out with a new disk which is comparable to blue ray in size that they will stop having games with 3 disks.

And the new ones can read them. Even the old ones can from what I understand.

Well.....


This is a thread about the Xbox 360 and transferring content.



So......not sure you'll get any takers in here.

Microsoft actually planned on releasing a Blu Ray add-on for the 360. They ended up scrapping it at the last minute though. Who knows how that would've turned out. The 720 will most likely use BR.

Any idea when the 720 will come out? It's not anytime in the near, near future....is it?

There was a report that Crytek slipped some info that the 720 will be shown at E3 2012, and that they were developing TimeSplitters 4 for it. Then not too long, actually a few weeks ago, there was another report that it would be shown at E3 2013, and released around early 2014.

My initial prediction was E3 2012, and I'll stick with that. There has simply been too much information surrounding that time frame. Shown at E3 2012, released in the Spring of 2013. That's what most of these rumors have been pointing to, and I think that's how it'll play out. Microsoft is keeping quiet, but they aren't fooling anyone. The 720 isn't too far down the road.

Anyone else seen the movie Reel Steel? The final fight the arena they were in had a sponsorship logo for the XBOX 720. So hopefully if they have already started advertising for the system then it isn't too far off from an expected release date?

IGN had a article recently,(last month I believe) where more sources came out and said Microsoft will be showing the next Xbox at 2012 E3. So my guess if those sources are right, the box will come out 2013 probably winter holiday season like always.
