Actually, no. The transfer cable was made for when MS first released the 120GB hard drives with the 360 Elites. It was made so you could transfer the data from the 20 gig models to the 120 gig, but now it works with any and all 360 hard drives. I assumed because Gamestop's description says you can't transfer data between Slims. Really? That's....lame.... Well what's even more lame was MS switching the hard drive designs. That was a move of pure greed right there.....but a smart move, when you think about it. If they didn't change the designs, everyone with an older 360 would just trade in their old box for the Arcade Slim model and just slap on their old hard drive, thus cutting MS out of $100.

Hey, is there an way to know what the deals of the week are ahead of time? I'd have a few times where I bought a game, and the next week it was a deal of the week. Is there a listing somewhere?

I assumed because Gamestop's description says you can't transfer data between Slims. You can transfer stuff from the old Arcade/Elite drive to the new one, but you can't do two slims, two olds, stuff like that. There was a change? I upgraded my 20 gb to the 120 gb but that was before the new model came out. If they're stopping people from upgrading to the 120 or 250 old models via cable that's seriously stupid. Especially since you could likely just use USB sticks for game saves and XBox Live to redownload everything else really... wasting their precious bandwidth.

The majority of fanboys and reviewers actually criticized the original HD design, though. It was stuck in a fancy plastic shell that did what besides cost them a little extra cash? Modders are gonna mod. Plus, third party HD cases hit the market from China or whereever which was likely the last straw. (People have been getting them from amazon.)

I'll also join in anytime, my GT is "KPWSin1"
And, let me say, both games are damn fun, way more than I thought they'd be after "Dash of Destruction".

Harms way is pretty easy to get all the achievements. I did it in about 20-30 minutes. While Crash Course will be a little more difficult. Especially those Japan courses holy s*** some of them are tough. I don't see how you could beat course 4 in 1:40. Some parts in those last 2 stages in Japan are just brutal.

Here's a long shot. Does anyone still have Dash of Destruction? I never got the online match achievement. It's the last one I needed.

Oh, and I got times for every level in Crash Course except the fourth Japanese one... the one they want you to get in under 1:40. Edit: Got it, finally in like 3:30-ish.

Crash Course is pretty brutal sometimes. Still quite fun to play with friends sometimes though.

What trick is that? Maybe you can show me.
EDIT: Never mind, I see it doesn't work in Co-op.

Killer deal on amazon today...
Halo Reach: Legendary Edition has dropped from $150 to $70 for the Deal of the Day. Even if you have the game, you can flip it back to amazon for $25+.
Oh, and the 17 Days of Gaming Deals continues with RPGs. Sadly for the 360, this just means FFXIII is $19.
PS3 got Nier on sale, but we didn't. Boo-urns.

On Oni, you can grab armorlock and when you return to the little base entrance, you can knock the gauss warthog over the little barricades using the armorlock and some punching. You could do it in single player, I guess, but the vehicle would be pretty much useless even if you had and kept AI.
