If there is anyone that would kindly be willing to lend it to me for a few days as I'm about to get a new Elite in the Sainsburys deal and I'd like to transfer my old stuff across.

I'm going to be selling my old one so obviously want to keep all my data on the new system.

Many thanks and if no-one has one I could borrow I will that Xbox form in, I take it that is still going?

If you can't find one on here my local gamestation will let you borrow one - i think they ask for a 50 quid deposit though.

May be similar at yours?

Yeh I've not got one of those though. Don't really want to spend out on one of them for one use.


Might give gamestation a try, if there isn't a kind trustworthy PHer on here who has one kicking about? smile

If you get desperate and can't get a cable, I'll post my card down to you if you want.

Cheers for that matey, I'll let you know. I'm going to try and get a cable just so I can take all my videos and things across. Theres a brilliant HD video of some people snowboarding that came on my Xbox when I got it and I'd like to keep that. smile

not other than the things you mention BUT the HDD is a god send.

You can install all the games you play onto HDD and bingo you have almost PS3 levels of noise. As such i actually cant play a game off disc anymore as i find the noise distracting.

I don't have an elite, but I have now got a 120GB harddrive and it's brilliant, I'm only using <15GB atm.

Definately worth doing.

I just opened up the drive-caddy and hooked it up to my PC via SATA cable.
Copied it all across that way = free

I'd say so Ian. It ends today though so get down there quick!

£40 off the regular price. There is a better deal on play or game or something which would make it cheaper as it includes some top shelf games which would be worth selling, but I couldn't be bothered with the extra hassle.

Oh and Digby if you're reading this, I've been reliably informed that the kit has arrived. Did it fit in the letterbox or do you have to take it to the post office?

It will be on its way back to you tomorrow either way. smile

Isn't PistonHeads great?
