Upgrading to Elite today and i need help

[lazie]

Hi i have a really old xbox 360 pro with a 20gb hardrive and no hdmi. I plan on upgrading to the Elite because its 300 bucks and comes with HDMI.

I just need help because i have no idea how to transfer my licences and games to the new 360.

How do i get the transfer cables needed to do that? I remember reading somewhere that the hardrives sold seperately come with a transfer kit.
Would it be a good idea to buy one use it to transfer my data but then take it back to the store??

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't know off hand, but I imagine that you can find this information on Microsoft's website.

On a side note, I understand the appeal of the bigger hard drive, but I'm not sure the HDMI upgrade is really going to make that much of a difference. I assume you're already running component cables into an HD source and getting 1080i/p.

The transfer cable and software is free from MS. I bought an Elite yesterday and did the transfer, worked flawlessly. I had the CD and Cable from my previous 120GB hard drive. If you have a friend that did a 120GB upgrade before, you can use their CD and transfer cable.

Just contact microsoft and they will send you one for free if you buy an elite. I think you may have to call them anyway to transfer the licences over.

I was able to transfer the licenses to my XBLA and marketplace content over xbox.com. And then downloaded everything again, I borrowed a friends memory card for my game saves.
