So it makes a copy on your USB stick and then REMOVES the original. Unfortunately, Microsoft, in its infiite wisdom, decided to make this a MOVE function. USB harddrives do not only hold more data but are also often faster than USB sticks. Consider a large USB harddisk in case you have a lot of data and games.
I actually tried it with a USB 3.0 harddrive and that worked like a charm as well.
Your XBox 360 after all will “transfer” content or in other words MOVE it off the original XBox 360, onto another drive or XBox 360.Īfter copying the content, you will sometimes need to reactivate it, which is done automatically when you start the game.įor this process you can use a USB stick or even a USB harddrive – both will work. So here I will describe how I copied content from one XBox 360 to another.
DLC not available in your (new) region …. Like I mentioned before, there are several reasons why that might not work for you … In my case I wanted two identical XBox 360s, which under normal circumstance would be easy, simply download the DLC on both XBox 360’s. Why copy data from one XBox 360 to another You will need to be using the same XBox Live account on the other XBox 360, otherwise you will have to transfer the license. Note : This method will not allow you to illegally copy DLC from a buddy to your XBox 360, and that is not the intended of this article any way. The only thing needed for this process is a USB drive or stick and of course access to a XBox 360 or two. It standard MOVES content so it can reside on only one device or drive. The latter is not always practical, especially when you’re only using laptops and do not have a SATA to USB adapter.Īnyhow, in this method we COPY the content, unlike what the XBox 360 likes to do. You could also use this method to make a backup of your XBox 360’s hard drive, just in case it dies in the future.Īll methods I have found online refer to a special cable you can purchase, or hooking up the drives to your PC. Yet another reason (for me): You moved to another country and the DLC is no longer available for that region, yet you still have the DLC on your other XBox 360. Now normally you can re-download the DLC content onto the new disk, but there are reasons why you’d rather do it this way …įor one, my Internet connection is horrendously slow, so downloading 34 games was not an option – I gave up after having it sit there, downloading content for more than 48 hours and quite often failing.Ī possible other reason: The DLC you paid for is no longer available. On the old one however, the harddrive died, so I replaced it with a new one (cheap 500Gb from AliExpress). On both I had the same DLC ( Downloadable Content). 
I have two XBox 360’s an old Phat one and a new XBox 360E (looked better next to my Xbox One and was for $149 on sale at the time). Alright, this was the problem I ran into …
