I have a premium Xbox 360 and i'm about to get an Elite. My Premium is on the verge of red rings because it was dropped. How do i get a data transfer cable(Does the Elite come with one)? How long does it take to copy onto the Elite from the Premium? Is the Elite worth it? Thanks in advance.:P

The Elite comes with the transfer cable, not sure how long it takes, and it's worth it if you want a 120 gb hard drive and HDMI.

The elite does not come with a transfer cable, but you can get one for free, heres the form. http://assets.xbox.com/en-us/support/MigrationKit-OrderForm.pdf

Idk how long it takes, but the elite is worth it. HDMI upscales everything to make it look better, and the Hard Drive is big enough to last forever.

I just saw the 2nd post, he's talking about the 120 Gig hard drive alone, not the console.

Speaking as an Elite owner... no. It does not include the cable.

What you have to do is copy down the SN for the Premium and the SN for the Elite... then you go to Microsofts website and give them your address and the Serial Numbers for each console.

Thanks for all the info so far. But i have one more question, it says i need to be logged into xbox live if i want to get my arcade games and tv shows back. Do i need to be logged into live during the transfer or after? How did you do it?

After, you have to re-download them I think, but you don't have to re-pay.

Yea I heard that it comes with one. My friend told me that it only takes 5 to 10 minutes so you should be fine.
