A question regarding 360 Elite and another *SURPRISE* question.

Well, my second 360 premium overheated for the first time today. No, the vents aren't blocked off, yes it has cooling space. I leave my Xbox on almost 24/7 and I've had it for probably 8 months now, and frankly I think all this "every 360 overheats" stuff is crap. I exchanged my first one because of disc drive issues. This isn't a trolling "OH MY GAWD, 360 OVERHEATS LOLOLOL!!!1" post. I understand it will happen eventually, and since mine is always on, of course it happened. But, thats besides the point. I want to take it to Best Buy and exchange it, and pay the difference for a 360 Elite because I want the 120 GB hard drive and HDMI. So my question is, what is the most efficient way to transfer data? I will be keeping my hard drive. Should I use a memory card? How do I transfer my gamertag and gamerscore? What about for saves/shows/whatever that are bigger than the space on the memory card?

Also, before I get a bunch of posts saying "Don't leave it on, of course it will overheat. Just ride it out." Know what? I want a bigger hard drive, I paid for the 2 year warranty at Best Buy, and I am willing to pay an extra $80 for these added features. Does the warranty covers overheating? Yup, well I'm covered. Gimme my Elite, yo.

*SURPRISE TIME*

I got the HD-DVD drive today, and watched the Hulk and it looked incredible, but when I watched King Kong it looked pretty mediocre. I have a 720p TV and use component cables, and I thought I heard somewhere that it only projects in 1080i and 1080p. Does this mean I'm getting a regular 480 picture quality, or wasKing Kongjust not that clear? Am I getting the most I can out of my HD-DVD drive?

Thank you all for your time,

Chris

UPDATE: I went and got the Elite. What is the best way to transfer data? I bought a memory card as well if I have to use it. If I do, what should I transfer first? Gamer Profile or game saves?

Someone please help, I want to get this set up as soon as possible.

#1 why did you buy it from best buy in the first place there are like 20 posts that say all their crap from best buy sux

#2 Hulk and King Kong?? why?? did you look for the crappiest movies to watch on your new HD or something?? (not saying their BAD movies or anything)

Good job going to BB - way to exploit their warranty and make them work for YOU!!! :)

Good job on the Elite - better system with some (minor) upgrades to help with the heating issue and GREAT extra features (120gb and HDMI).

Not sure the best way to transfer your data sorry. Probably a transfer kit - but not sure, I just scrapped my old drive when I got my Elite.

#1 Hmm, well, let's see...because I like Best Buy? Frankly, I don't give half acrap what you or 20 other people on an internet forum say. The same products get shipped to every Best Buy. If you get a batch of lemon 360's at your Best Buy, my best bet would be because Microsoft doesn't feel they have to ship their finest work to whatever crap box town full of inbred citizens because you and everyone around you are just a skidmark on the underpants of society. That, and the fact that you appear to be missing a chromosome or two.

#2 Yeah. I bought the crappiest movies I could. You caught me. Castrate yourself.

I don't like you.

Ah, and I also forgot to mention that I lost my receipt and product replacement plan, and they STILL let me exchange and upgrade.

Chris: 7,000
