I myself am wondering some of the same things as i am saving for a new Xbox 360. I do know that you can just recover your gamertag on live(if you have that account onlive), but ithink you have to do some special thing for the HDD to transfer saves, themes, and other things.
If you're just moving an old HDD to a new 360 you'll need to do the liscence transfer which is found here. Other than that there is nothing you have to do as far as I'm concerned. If you want to move your old content to a new HDD that came with your new 360 (if you didn't get the arcade bundle) then you'll need the free transfer kit here. It took me about a week to get it and it's free.
Now i'm planning to create a totally new gamertag, would the license transfer allow me to transfer dlc? Also when you create a gamertag/profile, does it save it on the HDD or the 360? Would the 360 run fine w/o a HDD or will it be brreak?
Content you buy is tied to your gamertag so you would need your old gamertag to play it. When you create a gamertag it's saved to the HDD, not the console. Just keep your old tag.Now i'm planning to create a totally new gamertag, would the license transfer allow me to transfer dlc?

After you transfer the license through xbox.com you just re-download the license onto your console. That literally takes a second to do for every license you re-download.Do you really need to re-download it all :(?
My internet has been rather screwy lately and I had like 7GB of DLC on my console?

How do I do that? Do I just add all of my items to my que again and then hit download... but it just downloads the licenses?
Yea think you need to use data transfer kit.I recently bought new elite and swopped my 120gb hd from my previous 360 but i found i couldn't play my saved games cos i kept getting message-this game was installed on another console.so in the end i put the Hard drive that came with the Elite back on and had to start my games from scratch.Possibly you can copy game saves from a memory card from one console to another though.Is there anything special that I need to do to make it work?
