Thanks, I'll have to try to figure out the Live. It is having trouble.
UPDATE: Xbox Live is up and running now. The situation is my old system's 20 GB has one profile, saved games, and arcade games/add ons that need to be moved, but the kid that I got the Elite off of downloaded like 15 arcade games and played none of them.(Seriously this kid got a system for Christmas and found out he hates video games...) I heard if I transfer my profile it will bring my achievements and I can redownload all my arcade games and add ons at no additional cost? As for the saved games I can do them one at a time? Thanks for any help.

Can't be that bad I heard mixed reviews, but overall most people would agree if you can get it that cheap go for it.

Because you asked a stupid question. What do you expect?

No one knows what it is going to play in because we can't come in your house AND LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION OF YOUR MONITOR. The games are going to run at your monitors native resolution. They added 16:10 support in the last update, so it should just run in that resolution.

Blue Dragon? Yeah, it's good. I mean it's one of the better Japanese RPGs out there. I'd personally put it on the same level as Final Fantasy 5, though others like it better than I do. Lost Odyssey is far better IMO, and more comparable to the latter Final Fantasy games and Chrono Trigger, though some even like Blue Dragon better. The story to me isn't that great, but it does have it's moments. (So like FF5, it has a weak-ish story-though par for the course for Japanese RPGs, but typically strong Sakaguchi gameplay.)

EDIT: How did this end up way after the Blue Dragon post? Oh well. And what's with that guy calling someone and idiot for trying to help? Geez.

Okay, so here is my status update. I have about half of my saved games on my memory card now. If I copy these saved games onto my 120 GB and then do account recovery after every game has been moved will I be able to play the saved games normally and redownload all game add ons and arcade games? Thanks

You don't need to recover your profile-you can just move it. Either way will work though.

But after doing all that, you'll need to have it connected to the internet and go through the process on Microsoft's Xbox site to transfer your licenses to your new system, as mentioned this can be done once per year. You can't do that from your Xbox.

Okay thanks, is there a link I can find this process? Before I do this I should transfer over all my saved games correct? Thanks again.

It doesn't matter if you do it before or after, though you might want to make sure the new unit works first.

I just searched on their site and found:

Good headphones that are also a headset?

Hi, I'm wanting to get a nice set of headphones that will also double as a headset. From what I have seen, there are some nice headsets out there, but not anything you would want to use for general headphone use.

I just wanted to know if there is anything out there I could use for the 360 that is a good set of headphones on its own. (I like the Sennheisser HD-555, but it's not a headset).

Thanks

I have a question. It might be a stupid question. I've seen some people post screen shots of Gears 2, and it looks better on there HDTV than it does mine. I know there is a difference between Component, and HDMI,but it isn't that big of a difference is it? I have a Samsung 40 inch 1080p tv.

Good idea about ripping it to the hard drive. Try it on another TV if you can, but yeah, sounds suspicious.
The only problem with that is that it's a Halo 360. If it was a regular system then I wouldn't mind getting a refurb. And also, the only game it seems to have trouble with is Gears of War 2. So looks like I'm stuck with it for now.

Can you use a transfer kit more than once ?

What are you using to connect the 360 to the tv? VGA, Component, HDMI? What resolution do you have the 360 set to?

If you are connected via Component, does your tv accept 1080p over component? If not you need to get HDMI or VGA or set your tv to 720p.

You will be able to run at whatever your monitor's resolution is.


Now stop crying.
