Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Kit Now Sold Separately. 120GB Off The Shelves In Europe.

There you are with your 20GB Xbox 360 HDD. And it’s filling up rapidly lately with all the downloadable content that is coming out lately. O and Microsoft know about it. So what to do? Well Microsoft’s solution is: Let’s pull the 120GB HDD off the shelves and leave everyone with the 60GB Starters kit. Why? Well, the 120 had a free Xbox360 Data Migration kit along with it and cost +/- 100 Euro. But the 60 version (that has NO Xbox360 Data Migration kit and comes along with a free headset (that you already have), a 3 month live gold card (that most also already have), and an internet cable (that you also already have)) costs 80 Euro and you have to buy a transfer unit for it that is priced at 20 Euro incl shipping cost.

This does sound like Microsoft is trying to dump their goods on the marked while making profit and scr** us over while at it. So what did we do? We asked Microsoft if they could send over a transfer unit and we send it back after use. They said no.. Ok, so we looked for a transfer unit but there is something you need to know there too! A 120GB Xbox360 Data Migration Kit doesn’t work on a 60GB transfer unit! And we are not quite there yet. Since we can transfer data with a UMD too. But we had trouble with doing that sinds our account got stuck in limbo several times and then you need to delete the account first and recover it again by the recovery system. Problem is if you have your UMD still in your 360 you will lose also all your safe files..

Thank you Microsoft

Little sum up:
1 360 60 GB HDD (80 Euro) contains
1 60 GB HDD (worth 35 Euro)
1 Headset (worth 20 Euro)
1 3 month live gold cart (worth 21 Euro)
1 Internet cable (worth 4 Euro)

And you need another 20 euro for the Xbox360 Data Migration Kit. That is the same price as the 120GB remember? This is NOT stated on the package of the 60GB Starter Kid. And we don’t have another option here!
