Default Quick Xbox 360 question

Any way for my son to transfer the data from his old console to his new one? Both 360s with hard drives

Just put the old hard drive on the new 360. Unless you're upgrading the hard drive or something.

Well, the new one has 60GB. He's already put the old one (20 GB I think)on. I'm just wondering if we can transfer the data so he has the additional space as well.

Tell me this....did I just waste an extra $100 on the console? Could I have bought the hard drive-less version and plugged in the old hard drive? I assumed they didn't have a spot for them.

Yeah, you could have just bought a new hard drive and attached it to the old 360.

If you just bought the Xbox, you can still return it assuming it has only been a couple of days.

Well, I needed the console. It was not working properly. But you're saying I could've attached the old hard drive to a new console (the one without a hard drive)?
