mda Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think you can register to receive one on the Xbox website. Fill in the serial number of the Elite and they'll send you a cable out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see that, but then it means I'll not be using my 120gb hard drive until Microsoft get the finger out and send me the cable. Does anyone know of game shops that offer transfers, or can provide a cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy the 120gig HD on it's own its comes with a data transfer cable to transfer your saves and what not from your 20gig to the new one but wouldn't know if the elite comes with one. Was thinking about upgrading to the elite myself so wouldn't mind finding out. Go to http://www.xbox.com and go to the forums. Probably be your best bet mate. If not i'm sure if you asked in GAME or somewhere like that they'll know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What's the difference? Bigger Hard drive? I've heard the difference in picture in unnoticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 What's the difference? Bigger Hard drive? I've heard the difference in picture in unnoticable. C'mon, it's black - way cooler ... Nah, seriously, I've just got the red ring of death for the 2nd time. So instead of waiting 3 weeks for the xbox to get fixed, I'm buying an Elite console, which saves me upgrading the HD, plus the HDMI cable is handy. I'll then sell my premium console when I get it back from Microsoft. I know the reliability is no better with the Elite mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I keep hearing of this red ring, what is it? Comical answers welcome. Basically something in the 360 gets fried and as a result will not function at all anymore. There are different indications. For example I think 2 red lights means its jsut too hot. 4 lights means there is a hardware malfunction and it fecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def 3 lights for me, 2nd time I've had it now. Purchased the Elite today, free copy of Mass Effect with it (?259.99). Continuing to use the 20GB hard drive until Microsoft send me a transfer cable (which is free). Sending away the form for it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If even one of those pins melts, yer machine's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
