I have never heard that you can transfer things w/o the cable, otherwise why would they need the cable? If you get a new 120 gig, it comes with it though.

Yeah, but that's a $60 difference if I get a new one vs. an old one.

I'm planning on picking up a used 120 GB HDD from Gamestop today, and I just wanted to make certain that I could make the transfer without the use of the cable. I've heard it both ways.

But my understanding is that I can just register on xbox.com about the transfer, then redownload all my DLC, etc onto the 120 GB HDD. Is this true, or should I hold off and try and get the cable and CD?

I think scottie means is... no.

I made a horrible mistake and rented CSI: Hard Evidence for both the easy achievement points and a feeble attempt to get my girlfriend, a CSI junkie, into video games.

I noticed that it wouldn't play while my USB cord was still plugged in. "No worries," I thought to myself. "I'll just play the game offline, then plug it in again after I'm done." WRONG! I took the disc out, attempted to start up my system with the USB cord plugged back in, and it will go so far as to say "Krisko Disko signed into Xbox Live", but that message and the sign-in bubble beneath it won't disappear, and whatever game I had loading would stop. If I'm not loading a game, it just freezes on the dashboard.

Does anyone know what happened? Or, more importantly, what I should do?

Many thanks in advance to my hero.
