Data transfer to 360 slim

Does anyone know if you will be able to transfer the contents of your old hard drive to the 360 slim, I have seen the kit that came with the elite but the 360 has a very different hard drive. The reason i ask is because I need to get a new 360 and I also need some more save space so the larger hard drive would be great to have so if anyone has heard anything let me know

you'd have to buy a transfer kit.

considering it's $20, it would be VERY wise to buy a 8 Gigabyte flashdrive for the same price instead. you can transfer files with one in case you didn't know.

I'd guess you have a 20 or 60 Gb HDD currently, so you'd make about 2-5 swaps.

this way, you have yourself a useful piece of equipment, whether you use it with your 360 or your PC/Laptop.

I just used a flash drive.. but I didn't have that much on mine, just some game saves and my profile.. For some, it may be more of a headache.

I don't know what this 360 Slim is, but to transfer data from the discontinued 360 to the new 360 model you need a transfer kit or USB thumb drive.

I was thinking about this, like if I were to put my saves on a flash drive and trade my 360 in for a new on, where would I put the saves (what area) on the HDD of the new one?

can you put map packs and stuff like that on a flash drive to transfer them or would I have to re-download them, and yes I do have a 20gig and want o go to the new slim 360

Its simple I did it last night. Just get the data transfer kit then u plug in the usb from the transfer kit to the back of the slim(one of the 3 usb ports in the back) and plug in the old hard drive to the transfer kit plug-in thingy and pop in the disc that comes with the kit and then it prompts u what u wana do. If u want to transfer data from the slim to the HD u could do that but in our case u transfer the data from the HD to the slim. Its very use friendly and worked like a charm and I got all my old date onto the slim with no problems. If this is holding u back from doing the swap don't let it its a piece of cake.

I heard that Microsoft will be including a transfer cable with the new 360, but judging by the unboxing videos I have seen, I have not seen any type of transfer cable.
