Xbox 360 60GB Live Starter Kit

The fact that they throw in a 3 month gold membership softens the blow of the £49.99 price tag. This helps as a 3 months gold is worth about £15 and a wired headset costs about £12.99 meaning that the cost of the drive is well worth the £22. I will be upgrading as i am now running low on space and with the new XBOX Live now allowing you to install your games directly onto the hard drive for faster loading times. This is a must, also if you don't have a hard drive you won't be able to use the new Live experience and you will be stuck with the old blade system.

Buyers should note that this package does not come with a Data migration cable to transfer saves from an existing drive but if you give Microsoft support a ring they will send you one free. (Expect to wait 3-10 days for delivery).

To nadee08: The hdd has a matte finish, not chrome - not sure why microsoft have done this, surely it doesnt cost them that much to add a bit of plastic mirrored trim.

Also note that this is a starter pack, so it doesnt include a transfer cable - you will have to use a memory unit to transfer your profile & game saves onto the new hdd & just re-download all your videos, themes & gamerpics.

If you have a 512mb memory unit, you can probably transfer most videos, themes & gamerpics in a few swaps.

Also note that the hdd has 51.5gb of usable space after deleting the 3 pre-installed demos.

I believe this doesnt come with a data transfer cable, however, call microsoft, and they will send you one free of charge!

I've been looking alot into this, and as far as i know, there isn't a cable. You'll need to fill out a cable application from microsoft and wait ages for it to come.

Another way is to either buy or borrow a 512 mb card, just transfer over your saves, then re-download everything else. I don't think you need to do that gamertag transfer thing, and you'll still be using the same console. I could be wrong though.

In my view this is an unbelievably good deal. You can sell your 20GB HHD for 30ish pounds, the 3 months LIVE is 15 pound, and the headset is a tenner, meaning you break even, and end up with 40 extra GB! Definitely worthwhile.
