Oh my word I have just deleted all my gamesaves!!

I just got a new xbox 360 arcade with the new jasper chip and HDMI connection bringing the old 20g HD from the old premium to my new arcade xbox , I transferred all my licenses accross to my console and then deleted the profiles from friends that had played my xbox

there were alot of them and so I got into a routine of deleting profiles with their items, unfortunately by the time I got to my profile I was too much into the routine and proceeded to delete all my gamesaves

now I was 65 hours into my Fallout 3 game and was taking my time, I was about half way through , no I got to do it all over again

not to mention my fable 2 and Mass effects game saves, this is the biggest nightmare ever!!

can someone offer some crumbs of comfort?

sorry to hear about that. Atleast they are good games to replay. I fear the same thing and recently bought the memory card to go along with my HDD.

Yeah, that does stink. But it could always be worse. You could have all your game saves deleted three times. Like me.

Gutted :( As well as the 20GB harddrive I also have a 512mb memory unit which I occasionally copy important saves onto for just this sort of incident.

the thing it if it was called 'delete profile with gamesaves' instead of 'delete profile instead of items' I would have known exactly what it meant

I thought that items were just marketplace config saves, or download history

well MS saves all of your friends lists, and achievements on their servers, so just recover your gamertag, and you will have all of them, minus the game saves :P

Yea, that sucks... But in your case it is your own stupid fault... In my case a friend of mine thought he was funny when he deleted all my saves and DLC... WTF! Wanted to beat the crap out of him but didn't do that after all... >_

Of course it would be really bad to live in a foreign country -_-'

Ok, I'm sorry, I know that formulating that in an ignorant way was most likely an accident, but I tend to point out stuff like that. Please don't be mad at me :D

To gillri: That's gotta suck dude. I've sometimes had my save files corrupted and have had to start all over. It's not fun.

And to you saying it was a stupid mistake: What could you possibly mean by stupid? Stupidity isn't even involved in this. He just didn't pay enough attention because he was bored deleting the other profiles.

Ain't that the worst when start deleting stuff and then you forget what you there for and then it too late cause you ended up deleting it.

well yes I was gonna do that but then I wouldnt be able to play my aracde games unless I was online

so I transferred the download licenses accross, just as i was about to put my 20g HD in the new arcade model I thought I would clean it up a bit, I saw my friends profile's

and thought I would delete them, then I got to mine and the rest is history, I should have been more careful I know but it should say 'gamesaves' not 'items', I thought these

would be preferences i.e vibration on/off, online status etc

The fallout 3 one is the biggie I mean everyone over the course of 20 years would have gamesaves hiccup, I once had to replay Resi 4 for 10 hours after a file got corrupted, the odd hours here and there on Oblivion, Tomb raider etc

but not 60 plus hours on Fallout 3, 221 diamonds on Far cry 2 ( I wasnt going to play that extremely furstrating game again anyway), A 30 hours campaign on Fable 2 with the unselfish ending and an awesome character I created on Mass effect ready to get the level 60 and Insane achievement

In my life of gaming that is the single worst thing that has happened to me

and left me with head in my hands repeating 'OMG' over and over again for 30 mins,

I mean I sounded like Rain Main FFS!!!!

You should buy a memory card it's such a useful device. Also Dexter is an awesome show.
