Despite totally knocking it out of the park with the new Xbox 360 Elite and addressing all current hardware issues, resulting in a warm welcome and universal acceptance, there are few teensy issues with the new 120GB hard drive and the data transfer process.

Chris Kohler over at Game|Life has translated some of the details from the Japanese announcement of the Elite weeding out new details on what Xbox 360 owners looking to upgrade can expect when they go bigger. Things to note include that 20GB disks will be wiped clean after the data transfer process and that data cannot be moved from the 120GB drive to the 20GB drive. So, no backing things up.

More screwjob worthy than that?

You cannot put the data from two or more 20 GB hard disks onto one 120 GB hard disk. If you attempt to move multiple drives, only the last one you move will be stored.

As Kohler wisely points out, that flies in the face of a suggestion from Xbox Group Product Marketing Manager Aaron Greenberg, who suggested that folks buy not only a memory unit, but a back up hard drive to store their extra Video Marketplace content. Michael McWhertor
