it will only alow me to have my profile on them one at a time, forcing me to wait around 30 minutes or so to move my profile to the other xbox.

I want to set it up so I have one in my bedroom, I should mention the 2 others I got the drives are fubar so I like to play my live games and crap on them. I know I can just take my HDD and swap it from one 360 to the other, its just Im disabled, and I lose my mind at times, so when I finally settle in my spot and start to relax and forget the pain, I got "OH FUDGE", and remember I left my HDD upstairs in my bedroom. Id just like to set it up and leave my 20 gigs on the one in the bedroom and in my 2nd living room, and leave my 120 on the one in my HTPC room.

So is there any way around this, am I missing something that will allow me to use my profile on different 360's each with separate hard drives on them, or Im I just going to have to keep playing musical hard drive forever?

Musical hard drives or get a memory card to put your profile on.

I do the memory card method with my xbox live profile.

well the profile used to purchase arcade games at least. Allows my nephews to play them without the games without having to loan out my system. I just hand them my memory card let them log onto xbox live and play away.

You don't have to. Just download the game twice. As long as you're logged into the profile that already paid for it. it'll be unlocked.

Download the Live games on to each of the 360s. When you sign in to your profile that purchased them, the Live games are fully enabled.

What happens if say 2 of the systems are logged on with the same profile?

You can't, the system is set up so you can only sign in on one console at a time. That's the whole problem here.

Go for the memory card thing. That's the easiest way to do it.

This is the one big downside to MS's paid online play. They really made it a pain in the ass for people who have multiple 360s. Memory card is the way to go, but you still have to remember to move it to the Xbox you want to play on.

Duh! on me......Yea, I forgot, you can't copy the profile to the card, only move it.
