Hey everybody. Tomorrow I am deciding to buy a Xbox 360 250GB. I already have an Xbox 360 20GB which I bought 4 years ago. So my question is if it is possible to transfer my data on my 20GB Hard Drive to the new 250GB Hard Drive? I have a USB stick, but it is 8GB unfortunately. 8GB is not enough memory to transfer my old data. I've heard something about a transfer cable, but it costs money. Can there be another way around this?

That's completely 100% false. I just migrated from a dying 20Gb to a 250gb last week. All you need is a usb drive and you can move your data. You can move it in pieces if you have to.

Good deal. I was just wondering about this too. I was a little worried about using a flash drive because I don't want to lose my game saves or gamerscore.

I purchased a used "transfer kit" from Gamestop a couple months ago. The guy there told me that I could even return it for a full refund when I was done... you can always go that route.
