I picked up a Resident Evil 360 today, as my original 360 is a launch edition, with a semi dead HDD, and loud as hell. Over the years I've downloaded some add-on's etc, and now I want to transfer them to the new 360. I seen that i can get a transfer cable for the old HDD, but since its pretty much dead (takes around 20 tries to get it to boot) I don't think this would be a great solution. With some googling I found this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/ Has anyone used it, and could give me some experience with it? Do I simply boot up the new 360, recover my account and continue on with the instructions, then re-download everything. Cheers Ryan
The kit should transfer everything and you should be fine. What We did was use a mem card since we're impatient. Then you transfer saves, go to dload history and reload stuff....you could do that with some stuff now too. Then, you can use the tool on the site to relicense stuff to that 360 so you don't have to be online to use addons etc. But the kit is suppose to do what it sounds like, transfer everything. It will wipe the old drive as well.
I can't wait that long for it to arrive LOL. Could i just recover my account on the new one, play some games, then transfer stuff over when it arrives? Ryan
Like PhreQuencYViii said, you must use the "license transfer tool" to re-sign all downloaded content. First, you do the license transfer thing, then go to your xbox download history and download everything again. (it's a pain!) The save files you could try to copy using the transfer cable and a PC with special software. My xbox HDD died last week and I've managed to copy my saves before it died.
If you use the oficial software with the cable, it will format your new drive before transfer. And will format your old driver after the transfer.
Ahh okay, so i will need to transfer my licenses of downloaded stuff via the pc, and either transfer them via the cable or redownload everything The transfer cable should also get all my game saves. I guess i will need one of those lol. or a memory card!
Yup...I think it partially had to do with the fact that the drive sat on its side (system sitting horizontally) for roughly 8 months without being turned on. It will work, after vigorous trial and error...but it just became too much. It's an older 360 (built august 2006) without hdmi or any other fancy stuff. It hasn't had problems yet, just I wanted an upgrade lol Ryan
