DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Anyone tried the Datel Xport?
I picked one up at Best Buy for $17 a/c but haven't opened it yet. No way in God's green earth I'm spending $180 on a second hard drive, but thought I might transfer video files and such to my computer's HD if it wasn't too hard.

I can't get it to load now and even if it did say that, it is hardly an official confirmation - http://on10.net/Blogs/tina/exclusive...he-xbox-elite/

(even for a game with that given intended style, it looks barren, and looks more suited to XBLA)

I see someone here at DVDTalk got Guitar Hero II early. Dan and Kris was playing last night and has a good chunk of achievements already.
I'd love to hear how the guitar is and if there is any content in the market place yet. I'm still hoping that the first DLC for the game is all the songs from Guitar Hero I.

I have a few questions pertaining to selling my Xbox360 (in order to upgrade to the 1337 model coming out in April):
How do I make sure my personal info (including credit card info) is wiped from it, as well as my account info?
And does that mean I lose my Xbox Live account by selling the unit to someone else?
Is there anything else I need to worry about when I do sell the unit to another person?

Some folks who got to play it a few weeks ago said they think it is our best multiplayer gametype yet but I'll leave it for you fans to decide what you think for yourself when it shows up soon on Xbox Live. More details next week.

I would recommend wiping the HDD and checking after that, afaik, everything is stored on the HDD.

When my box died and I got a new one via GameStop's product replacement thing, I had to call Microsoft and fax them a copy of my receipt and they credited me back the MS Points needed to repurchase everything, and thus "tie it back" to the console, so that my wife would have access to full games and so forth.

Thanks for the info on moving from one Xbox360 to another one. It sounds like a PITA, but I guess I'll slosh through it if I do sell the unit.
Is it easy to wipe the HDD?

Not sure if it's been posted yet but Toys R Us is having a buy 1 get 1 free deal. I think it may just be on 3 or 4 Activision games(COD3, Marvel:UA, Tony Hawk, X-Men Movie game). Seems like a good time to pick up COD3 and Marvel:UA since they're both on the list...
Edit to add: This deal includes select Wii, XBOX, 360, PS2, and GC Activison games

Had a huge scare tonight...turned on the 360, and was met with a red light in the lower right quadrant and an error message. Googled it, and found out it was a hard drive error - unplugged the HD, plugged it back in, and haven't had a problem since.
