I only have my PC (oh thank god!), my Nintendo n64, and a Super Nintendo!

Yes, you just login with your account credentials and it will move over to the other 360.

Very nice! thanks for all th help. I will most likely keep the fan on this xbox also have have it horizontal on "stilts". The old one I have has the white disk cover thing....sorry i'm not sure of the name. but the new one has a chrome one....better or worse?

Thanks for all the help guys

I think the white one is the Arcade version, and the Chrome is the regular version.
At least that's what I read one time.
Again, I don't own a 360.

White benzel covers were orginaly for the "core" systems when the 360 first launched in 2005 and the current "arcade". The "Pro" and every other system model beyond it has chrome benzel on the DVD drive.

Wow i'm happy, I paid that little for a newer arcade and i'll send in my old one and get a newer arcade(I hope) and sell it to make up for the one I bought and then some....i'm happy

[rawfuls]

I thought Arcades were cheaper? :X

[maxair45]

Yes they are but its a newer version I believe after some research. Question, I went to hook up the new xbox 360 to see if it works and i went to plug in the power supply cord into the xbox and there seems to be a small plastic piece in the port in between the top set of prongs and the bottom set of prongs...right in the middle....is there a new plug I need to get or what do I do?

[rawfuls]

I believe one of the articles I read suggests that all plugs are backwards compatible, but not forward, which means if the one you have is the newer one, (the plug), it SHOULD be able to go into the (older) console, however if you have a plug that CANT go into a system, usually means that you'll need a new plug (and that the newer console) is newer than the one you had previously.
I think the article was in this thread, or in modding_out's thread.

well if thats the case, you can cut a slot in the old cord to fit the new plug

[rawfuls]

Well, I'm not sure that would work, considering they're different voltages! :P

BTW, Modding, START PMing! :D

I really don't want to touch it. I was going to try and pop off the pin but I don't wanna screw it up and end up having to send two xbox's in. I got a ridiculously Irish accented lady on xbox support and it was useless. So I would just go to best buy, walmart, gamestop...ect and ask for what? The newer edition power supply cable?

I guess some thing like that, they've bound to have some thing

[rawfuls]

I say bring your xbox in, and have them find the cable that fits it.
And bam.
