Can someone explain to me how to transfer data from one hard drive to the other or if that's at all possible since if I upgrade I want to keep my savegames? I am a hardware chump.

Apparently MS are cunts and certify each drive based on the hdd security sector and you can't use an uncertified drive on the Live service. In order to run a 120gb hdd I need to use the security sector of another 120gb hdd, but then presumably that other one and my one can't work at the same time or something. And if I flash a 120gb drive with the hddss of my current 20gb drive only 20gb of the 120gb will be available.
JUST LET ME PLUG IN A BIGGER HARD DRIVE YOU GODDAMN DICKMUNCHERS.

Consoles are made or broken on their proprietary hardware and software. If they actually let you buy a cheap $100 HD off NewEgg, they'd never make up all the money they lost developing it :(

If you upgrade to a 120 gig, I'm 98% certain it comes with a transfer kit. At least, I have no recollection of buying a separate transfer kit and I upgraded.

It's not so bad when you buy the Elite in the first place. Also, you can just drop in any old SATA drive into a PS3, of course, the PS3 price point is much higher.

The actual dashboard changes are interesting. It's much more concise, and there's lots of additional info to purse through. I especially like the ability to install games to the HDD, although the remaining 11 gigs on mine means I'll get to install 2 or 3 tops.
Thoughts?

What is taking up the 9 gigs of space on your current drive? If it's non proprietary media, you can offload all that onto an external USB drive or flash memory stick.
