I am getting a brand new 4gb 360 s soon thanks to a deal with my mobile phone provider. My current 360 is on its last legs so I want to use the free one. But the memory is not sufficient. I'm thinking of getting a 250gb slim hd but can you transfer from a 250 hd to another 250 hd or can you only transfer from a smaller hd to a bigger hd? Eg 250 to a 320. I'm going to be using a Microsoft transfer cable as I already own one.

You can transfer any old HDD to any other new or old HDD as long as the memory doesn't pass it's max. So if you got a 250GB HDD with only 2GB stored on it then you can transfer it to a 4GB HDD.

Also get a 250GB 360 if you can cause 4GB is worthless and means you can't store any games to it forcing you to use the loud disc drive. Plus anything you try to download will take up mostly all space on the 4GB.

Why would M$ bother selling a 4GB 360? 120 should be the standard.

Unfortunately the deal is for the 4gb model. It is free however so if I shell out for a hard drive its not going to cost half as much as buying a 4gb then the hdd. My current hdd is the old model 250gb, which has 145gb free, so I will be able to transfer the old style 250 data to the new slim one?
