  1. Question about data transfer.


    I had a question about license transfer that I was hoping someone can help me out with.

    I already have a Xbox 360 for my family but I'm looking to buy a second one for myself.My son & I have separate gamertags but everything we buy (DLC,Games) I buy off of my own account. My question revolves around 2 games NHL 14 & Minecraft,I bought digital
    copies of both games on my gamertag (NHL for me,Minecraft for my son). If I buy a new Xbox for myself can I download NHL 14 on my Xbox while still allowing him to play Minecraft on our old Xbox using his gametag or would I have to buy that game all over again.Thanks
    in advance.

    :)

    Transfer data question.

    I believe that if you use a transfer cable the licenses are transferred too. I am not too sure, though, but I believe that is how it works.

    Would be great to have someonse else confirm/deny.

    Transfer data question.

    I have searched around quite a bit, but have not found any information directly answering my question. Not sure if I am searching the right way.

    But anyways... I will give the run down.

    I have 2 360's. One of them is an offline unit (for kids). I will connect my profile to it online on occasion and purchase games or dlc. I know this content is married to that 360. However, I am looking to upgrade the harddrive in it from a 120GB to 320GB. Now, my question is. If I use a transfer cable, will the new harddrive affect the married content and making it where I have to log into my profile to use that content, or will it transfer the console license with it and it will work as normal?

    I am trying to avoid having to use my profile on the kid's console to use the content I purchase with my account.

    Not sure if I explained it correctly.

    Question about data transfer.

    Since you purchased the games on your account, you can redownload them and play them on any other console. Performing a license transfer on the new console, would remove the console license from the old one and your son would no longer be able to play the
    games on the old console.

    Question about save data transfer

    It would depend on what the games are as if to whether the saves will transfer to the One versions or not. Otherwise, you'have to start the games over on the One version.

    Games Load Faster Using External HDD

    I plan on buying an external hard drive this weekend

    I have a question about DATA TRANSFER RATE

    what is a good speed ?

    I'm looking at a sea gate backup plus 3 TB

    DATA TRANSFER RATE is 4.8 Gbps

    Is this any good ?

    Thanks for any help or tips

    Transfer data question

    Thank you all for the help. I got the new slim this weekend. Since my gamestop was having network issues and could not check out people they did the transfer for me in the store at no cost. :) Took about a hour. Was at about 80gigs!

    Transfer data question

    If you don't want to get the transfer cable...

    For game saves, you can copy them over with a USB Thumb Drive by manually selecting the saves you want and copying them over or if you wait until the new Dashboard update is released, you can copy your saves via the Cloud Game Saves option that is coming.

    Keep in mind though that not all games allow for your save to be copied, including Forza Motorsport 4 which I see as the last game played on your Gamercard (that goes for both to the Cloud and to a USB Drive).

    As for DLC, you can transfer the license using the online transfer tool (www.xbox.com/.../Home - As noted above) or you can do it through the Dashboard by going into the
    Account Management section from the Guide and selecting License Transfer (make sure you do that on your NEW console), and then redownloading the content you want from Xbox Live.

    That said, the transfer cable is the easiest way to do it if you can find one cheap & you'll avoid the problem of the game saves that can't be copied.
