Shortly after Microsoft announced the ability to install games direct from disc to the 360 HDD I decided that it was time to buy a new drive. The 20gb model I had from my original launch unit was still going strong (even though I had gone through a number of replacement consoles) but there were a number of titles in my collection that I was sure I wanted to try again to see how much the disc->HDD transfer would improve their load times (Quake4, Dead Rising, TR:Legend).
I had no intention of buying the overpriced 120GB HDD model (which at the time was $200 Canadian) and while using the hacked drive signature key crossed my mind I was worried about being banned and getting a similar drive was still $99 and I would have to supply an extra case for it or crack open my original 20gb case.
I looked on Ebay and found I could get a direct 120 drive with case from Hong Kong for $99 + $15 shipping (CDN funds) which was a lot more attractive and reasonable considering all things equal only $15 more than if I would have just bought the drive from a computer shop here.
Well the drive arrived and worked well but there was one issue, no data migration cable:
I didn't really want to spend another 20-30$ for a transfer cable from ebay so I thought I would send a message on Craigslist and luckily another 360 owner *gave* me his cable and disc for free. Someone I had not met before, he just said "you can have it".
Well here is my change to pay it forward. I'm creating this thread and a list for people to add themselves if they need to 'borrow' the cable and disc. If you need to borrow it you add yourself by PM me..
If you have the kit you pay for shipping to the next guy and so on down the line.
I'd prefer to keep this to North America so that whoever has the cable can expect a certain price for shipping but we might be able to work something out for Europeans if there is a need.
For more information on the migration kit read here.
The list as it stands now is:
NOVEMBER 28th, 2008 UPDATE:
a number of people, myself included, have noticed that our drives from Hong Kong do NOT support backwards compatibility. While the drive works flawlessly with the 360 there is no way to use the drive to play older BC games. Please keep that in mind when buying a used drive.
