Swapping between Xbox360's

Post by DrTrouserPlank »

I'm sure the answer is no, but here goes.

I have 2 Xbox360's. A PAL one and an NTSC-J one. I want to swap between machines without having to recover my profile each time.

Is there a way?

Sell both of them to me, you're clearly not getting any worthwhile use out of them.

Actual helpful answer: copy your profile to a memory card or a USB thumbdrive, plug it into whichever 360 you feel like using that day.

I am, they are heating my room quite nicely.

Thanks for the sensible answer. It will save me the annoying wait each time.

Do you have a hard drive? If so, simply swap that out instead. All gamesaves and data will go with it, but installed games won't work.

Swapping hard drives between two 360s is overkill IMO, especially if you have different sets of games on each 360. Just carrying around a memory unit is much, much easier.

It takes about 10 seconds, but yeah, overkill.
