Very important question on Xbox 360 ELITE

At bestbuy or any other store you can buy a thing called xport and it lets you transfer data from your hardrive to your pc and from your pc to your xbox. I was wondering if i could put all my files from my xbox hardrive on to my PC(including my live account) and then go buy the new elite xbox and put those files on the new 120 GB hardrive?

just buy a 120 gb

And the HDMI?

so you going to wasted all the money just by a ps3RENE2315

jesus the guy asked a question not for you to talk him out of it... and im not sure if that will work but i dont no for a fact.....

hdmi looks sharper then vga and the 120 hdd thats why I want an elite. I have the xport and was wondering the same thing.smiguelv

I thought you said this was an important question...

 Anyway, HDMI does not make that much of a difference unless you have a 1080p TV... i install the things all day long it is such a minor difference its stupid. I have actually seen some TV's look WORSE on hdmi vs. component before...

You could a black faceplate at gamestop for $7.Light_Destroyer

but a white powerbutton....LAME!

Elite Preordrered FTW!

Do some research folks. HDMI is no better in quality than component or even coax, and it certainly is no better than SVGA. There is plenty of data out on the internet that suggests component is actually better on shorter runs than HDMI. Whether or not 1080p is supported over component is a restriction placed by television manufactures and not the technology. My friend has an HDTV that does 1080p over component all day long and it looks great.

The ONLY think that HDMI does over component is allow high resolution playback of HD DVD and Blu Ray *IF* the manufactures of the discs and players decide to implement the feature. The reason for this being that digital rights management can be encoded into the signal over HDMI. So... they want you to go to HDMI so they can implement DRM. They can "force" you to do it by saying that you will otherwise not get the highest resolution picture. BUT, this ONLY applies to MOVIES and NOT GAMES, and it is a manufactured affect and not a limitation of using component cables.

 Microsoft has obviously made HDMI available so that copyright holders who publish HD DVD's can implement the above feature and have it work on the 360, thus making suckers of us all.

If you aren't planning on watching HD DVDs on your 360, there is no reason to get HDMI unless your TV doesn't support 1080p over component.

why would the power button be white if he buys a black faceplate?

Transferring hard drive information will be a little more complicated for people planning to move from the Xbox 360 Premium to an Xbox 360 Elite since a lot of Xbox Marketplace content is tied to your Xbox Live profile and the console you're using at the time of purchase. That means console owners will have trouble using a data-transfer cable to copy all the downloaded content from an existing 20GB system to a completely new Elite system. Once you switch systems, the only way to get at that content will be to log into Xbox Live with the account that you used to make the original purchase. Other accounts on the new system won't be able to access the downloaded content. Microsoft is working on a solution to the Premium-to-Elite data transfer issue and told GameSpot that it will release more information as we get closer to launch.

The Xbox 360 Elite system, black accessories, and stand-alone 120GB hard drive upgrade will all be available in retail on April 29, 2007."

i think that answers ur question 

So does that mean that a new 120gb hdd will work with the data transfer cable.  It didn't seem to say that directly.  But if the rights are tied to the hdd and the console will the new drive work? 

I guess I'll just wait a couple weeks til others buy it and see if it works.
