So the 360 we bought last year (2nd hand) has finally decided to stop reading game discs - rendering it nothing more than a media extender for the network (we've switched to using our PS3 for DVDs and BDs anyway for it's quieter running) - but since we've plenty of 360 games, we reckon it'll be worth getting a new one... but,

How does it work with your profiles, avatars, settings, saved games and all that jazz? Does all that follow in your live account to a new machine? Or do you have to do some kind of transfer between old/new consoles with (I'm guessing expensive) a proprietary lead of some kind?

I'm pretty sure this will work although I used to from HDD to HDD not a completely new console:-

Your Live profile can be moved to the new machine and any Arcade games, saves, etc can be transferred using the Official Data Transfer cable.

Update it to the latest dashboard and you can just use a USB stick to transfer game saves/profile etc :) I think they charge for the lead now (or you could swap hard drives to the new unit, you have to re-download the arcade games though)

Bleh, my Xbox appears to be dying again for the first time after i sent it off for repair last year... the screen appears to just freeze after a random period of time.

Rather annoying with the Reach beta coming out on Monday *shakes fist*
