Microsoft is offering a free data transfer cable, to consumers that have bought an xbox 360 Elite. Microsoft stated the reasoning behind not providing the transfer cable in the box, is due to the fact they geared the system around new owners. Not upgrading owners, but after a flood of complaints Microsoft decided to ship out transfer cables for a limited time to Elite owners, that have a core system, or premium systems, already.
You will have to fill out this form and, return it via postage mail to Indiana for a transfer cable. The turn around time for receiving the cable is unknown at the moment.
Another problem with transferring your files from your 20 gig hdd, over to your new 120 gig hdd, is the fact that it wipes out everything on your 20 gig. So having a backup of your data "incase" something happens is not possible. Also your XBL arcade games, and digital media will be effected. XBLA games revert to demo mode once transfered. Also if you do not have a connection to the internet to verify your content to the identity of your 360, it will be rendered useless. This happenes anytime you try to access your games, and media. So using, or watching offline is impossible. Microsoft took no chances with piracy regarding its downloadable content.
On Thursday, May 3, at 9 a.m. GMT, Xbox LIVE® gamers should ready their weapons and prepare for battle as “Gears of War®”, rated M for Mature, releases four new action-packed multiplayer maps in the thrilling “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack. For 800 Microsoft points, COG soldiers and the Locust Horde will clash once again for control of these four dynamic new areas, including Bullet Marsh, Garden, Process and Subway.
Bullet Marsh: In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.
Garden: This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.
Process: Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.
Subway: Timgad’s Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.
