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?
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*
