How to Transfer the Xbox 360 to a New Xbox Elite

The Xbox Elite is an upgrade from the Xbox 360. It offers better digital resolution and is backward-compatible with most original Xbox 360 games. With the Xbox Elite's data migration kit you can transfer the Xbox 360 data to the Elite's 120GB hard drive. It's a lot faster than transferring the data with a memory card and the migration kit can be downloaded online via the Xbox website.
