I thought so too, since I had a migration kit, but wanted to transfer to a 120GB this time. But when I contacted Microsoft, this is what they said:



''Unfortunately, you may not be able to use a transfer cable that is been used. You can obtain a transfer cable by following the steps below:''



They're not offering it free but $12.99 now. I spoke with some rep (likely from India) and said that he ''thinks'' the migration kit should be able to work more than once though.



So either the rep really doesn't know, or Microsoft wants an extra $12.99 from me.
Yes they can. I had to use mine 3 times.
The kit itself can be used pretty much as often as you want.



No, it is not included with new 360 Elites. It is only included with new hard drives you buy separately.

When did you get your Migration Kit? Was it sometime this year? Reason is, I've read that previous Migration Kits as old as Jun-2008 only works with 20GB transfers to 60GB or 120GB. But if you use that same kit to transfer files from a 60GB to 120GB it won't work coz it will not recognize the 60GB drive (reading it as 20GB instead).



The *NEW* kits don't have that problem though.



I got mine March 2009. Don't know if that's considered *new*.
Can you buy these at stores, if so how much are they or do MS sends you one for free or both?

From my email correspondence w/ Microsoft, they will only *supposedly* send this out to to you for FREE if you own an Elite console since you need to provide it's serial number. Otherwise it's $12.99 -- not sure if that includes shipping.



I got mine for free back in March of 2009. I was looking to get another Migration Kit since I've read that some kits don't work -- aka don't read 60GB transfers to 120GB (only reads 20GB to 60GB / 120GB). But the original page I saved under my favorites for the FREE kit doesn't exist anymore. So I called MS, and that's the $12.99 story.



Can anyone with a Migration Kit on or before March 2009 confirm their kits still work and is able to read 60GB to 120GB transfers? Thanks!
A lot of used kits sold on ebay... so I guess it reallydoes work more than once...
