I have the same problem everyone in a while, I just unpluged it and plug it back in and it would work.

Is there any way to have my 360 use the hard drive for everything so the select a storage device prompt doesn't pop up? I think that's causing me to not be able to play the game off of the hard drive.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

Xbox 360 Question about Importing a game and DLC

I know that Xbox 360 games are region free, but what about Add-Ons and DLC for the games?

Hypothetical: I want to buy the European version of Street Fighter IV CE and I live in the United States.

Question 1: It comes with DLC in the CE. Will I have trouble with this, or will it work with no problems?

Question 2: Let's say that 2 months later they release some new DLC. Will I be able to use the US DLC or will I have to create a UK account and download the DLC there?

XBOX Originals on Goozex?

XBOX Originals on Goozex? Is this legit? Can people have a download code to give out, or is this bogus?

UPS just deliverd my 360 5 minutes ago, so I don't know how XBLM works yet.

It is going to depend on the game. Some games you can use the game save and DLC between different region. You bigger concern is rather the game is region free.

If there is a download code available for said Xbox Original (I don't think any of them have a download code) then yes you could get them through goozex. Otherwise no. It's kinda a minor error with the database that goozex uses to list their games. There are games listed which cannot be traded for numerous reasons but are still listed on the site anyway.

Okay so my first Xbox 360 died apparently so I bought the Elite and it does not come with a transfer kit, is there any way I can transfer it over easily without the kit? I have a memory card. Also, now that I plugged my 20 GB into the Elite all my arcade games show up as demos. Also, any suggestion on connecting to the internet. I hooked everything up the same as it was on my old xbox 360. I entered everything got passed network and internet, but it got stuck at Xbox Live and failed. It recommended I turn off my router so I did I unplugged it for 30 seconds, but now it fails at network. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: Also the Elite has a few arcade games on it that the person downloaded. Is there a way to transfer my new stuff over while still keeping those games. To my understanding there is something called account recovery? Basically the only thing I need to bring over is my profile, achievements, and downloaded games/add-ons. I have a memory card, but not sure how to go about this.

BC question: How well do the Splinter Cell games run?

Well, I've played the shiz out of MGS and I need more stealth. Just wondering how well SC:CT and SCouble Agent (superior xbox version) run on the 360...I'm mostly concerned about the framerates/glitches.

I haven't played Double Agent for the original Xbox, but Chaos Theory runs great. There ARE framerate issues, but I'm not sure if it's the BC emulation or if they were always there. But it's very playable, and still looks great today.

If you don't have it already, go get it! It's only a couple of bucks these days!

So you bought a used system? If it already has purchased stuff on it, that won't work anymore when you transfer your profile over.

You can just move it to a memory card and move it to the new system, or recover it over the internet.

To get your games working on the new system though you'll need to go through the process listed on their site to authorize the new system. You can only do that once a year though. Otherwise they'll just be demos unless you're actively logged in to the live service.

Okay so step 1 would be adding the saved games to my memory card and placing them all on my old 20 GB? Is there a guide to this process? Step 3 would be account recovery and this would bring over my profile with achievements? Is there a guide for this as well? I could just go on xbox.com and redownload everything? What about saved games? Thanks, sorry if I sound pushy and what not. Thanks the advice.

Check the reviews, Gamespot in particular. Better mission structure, better story (apparently; I haven't played the 360 build).

If he asked the same question then his answers should also apply to you...so why ask the same thing twice?

I'm confused...what do you have now? A 20GB drive from your old system, and a new 120GB drive that came with the new system that you're trying to transfer stuff to?

If so, (short of trying to get a transfer kit) you can just copy game saves to a memory card, and then copy them back to the new hard drive. A few game saves can't be copied, but most can. You can move your profile to the memory card, and then back onto the new hard drive. You don't even need to recover it.

The only tricky part at all is you'll need to have the new system connected to the internet and on Microsoft's Xbox site go through the process of authorizing it (which as mentioned can only be done once a year).
