    Formatting 360 HD


    I want to format my 360 250GB slims HDD. The only thing I want to backup are my game saves. I know that when installing a game to a thumb drive it formats it and looks at read/write speeds..and it's somewhat picky. Given that all I want to do is copy some
    save files I assume it won't care what I usb as long as it's USB 1.0?

    Secondly, aside from a flash drive, does xbox live have any sort of backup service? I'm guessing all save files in all it's still probably well under 50mb.

    :)

    Formatting Xbox HD

    Any content you have downloaded is attached to your account and the licenses are tied to your account and console, not the hard drive. So you can redownload everything from your download history. You would only have to do a license transfer if you were switching
    consoles.

    The only thing you can't redownload would be game saves. So you would want those backed up if possible.

    Formatting Xbox HD

    If I was to format my xbox HD would I be able to download everything back by license transferring?

    Is backward compatibility ready to go?

    [quote user="Hellfire IRL"]Definitely not, you can not play a HD-DVD (360 Disc format) in a Blu-ray drive (X1 Disc format). That's far for the only obstacle either... [/quote]

    The 360 does not use HD-DVD's, it uses regular dual-layer DVD's. It had the HD-DVD player add-on years ago, but that tech failed. The X1 could read 360 DVD's just fine, but it wouldn't be able to process the code since it's completely different.

    Next Xbox

    What are peoples thoughts on backward compatibility with all Xbox 360 accessories. Namely the HD DVD player. I appreciate the format is dead but I doubt I am alone in owning several films on this format. I'll be damned if I can't still watch a good old HD
    DVD if I wish!

    Xbox 360 & Blu-ray

    Microsoft has stated clearly when HD-DVD format died that they have no plans to support the Blu-Ray format on the Xbox 360.

    Next gen console will most likely have a Blu-Ray drive.

    Hmmm...It's definitely possible that it's your HD. Have you tried downloading to a Xbox 360 formatted USB drive to see if that yields better results?
