This seems to get asked a lot amongst newcomers to CAG as well as CAG's that have recently upgraded their hard drive outside of buying one at MSRP (be it eBay, Gamestop, or otherwise). I figured it'd be a help to those in need to make this available to anyone searching.
Anyhoo, Microsoft seems to have taken down the US version of their migration kit order form. The European version is still up, however, and the US version was uploaded to Slickdeals in a fillable PDF.
I uploaded the US version here --> http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tzjj3n1ryiw
Download it, fill it out, print it out, and fax it over to Microsoft (or mail it in). Where it asks for the Elite system's serial number, many CAG's (myself included) have had success by simply writing in "PURCHASED - AWAITING ARRIVAL".
There's simply no reason to pay eBay prices for something you're only going to use once. Chances are Microsoft will send you two anyways, allowing you to (potentially) make a profit off of someone else who didn't know any better.
NOTES
- Hard drive transfers only work when upgrading or replacing (ie - 20GB -> 20/60/120GB, 60GB -> 60GB/120GB, 120GB -> 120GB).
- It's all or nothing, and the drive you've transferred from is wiped clean.
- You'll likely have to transfer your DRM licenses on anything you've downloaded, which can be done from Xbox.
