360 transfer cables?

MS still giving these out? I doubt it. Is there anywhere I can get one? I suppose ebay?

ebay is my best guess, maybe amazon too.

Yeah I just saw the non-MS ones for like $6 shipped.
Can't really lose with that.

In order to do an official transfer, though, you also need the CD. I bought one from eBay but couldn't use it because they didn't give me the CD (it was a knockoff cable).

EDIT: They've changed it. Now the transfer software is part of the dashboard software. So you don't need a CD.

MS still does sell them but they're $20: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/Transfer

I don't know if a knockoff cable will still work the same.

I just did this from a Pro (20GB) to a S (250GB). I just plugged in a 500GB USB drive. It will only use 16GB but luckily I removed all unnecessary data and had something like 11GB. I transfered it over with no problem. Unless you are doing a large amount of data, I would recommend going this route.

Note: If I had like 120GB, and it took me many iterations of moving 16GB at a time, I definitely would get the transfer cable.

If you still need one, I have the official one. I'll ship it priority for 10 bucks.

The problem with this is some games don't let you move your saved data over. Most allow you to but some of them make a fuss.

I didn't know about this. I did notice that all my transfered games reset their accomplishments or whatever it's called. So you know how say on Limbo, there are little goals you can reach where you get points. Well I used to have say 80/500. Now I have 0/500 on my new system, same game.
