OKay I am getting my second 360 this week, and so I decided to copy all my saves over to my memory card so I can go back and forth between my two 360's in the office and at home. For some reason I cannot seem to copy my San Andreas save to my memory card. The ONLY option the console gives me is to "delete"!!

Is there ANY WAY to copy my San Andreas save to my memory unit??? Because this is absurd!

When you save it in-game, can't you select where it's saved to? Instead of straight copying it, just go in the game and save it to the MU... If that works, I'm not sure. You might be SOL dude.

Yeah I think this is yet ANOTHER example of MicroSCUM screwing the consumer. Unless I am wrong, it looks like you cannot copy from the HD to the memory unit on XBox games. So basically its a useless save, if you are STUPID enough to buy two 360's, like I am.


*bleep* MicroSCUM and *bleep* their crappy ass bullshit attempts at backwards compatibility. This is one of the reasons that I think the PS3 is going to BLOW the doors off the 360, and now I am seriously hoping it does. Bunch of low life, dumbass corporate criminals. I really wanted to support this console. But between the shortages, the small number of titles that are backwards compatible and now this, MicroSCUM can kiss my ass.

After saying all of that about Microsoft are you still going to buy a second 360??

Dude, half the games on the original Xbox wouldn't let you transfer saves from the HD to the MU's... Like Burnout 3 and KOTOR 1 and 2, amongst others. Not even sure about GTA games on Xbox, I haven't tried. If anything, that's an issue with the developers, not Microsoft...

Well yes, because even though I think they handled issues like the ones I complained about almost criminally poorly, and I am no fan of MicroSCUM, I am still a gamer. And right now, the 360 is the best console out there and the only next generation platform at this point in time. So while I HATE Microscum and the way they do business, I am not going to boycott the platform. That would be cutting off my nose to spite my face. So at this point, I will USE my 360's, but I will be rooting for and supporting SONY and even Nintendo in every way that a consumer can, to win this console war.

Its not much, but its better than nothing. Shrug.

Well, you could just buy a Core package and use the one HDD you have and bring it back-and-forth between the two consoles...

And that's PRECISELY what I am talking about! I considered this option by the way, but I don't want the Core Package. IF the answer to this dilemma is as simple as NOT HAVING a HDD in your 360 to begin with, then it is NOT a developer issue, and MicroSCUM should have made the data easier to transfer from media to media (or HDD to memory unit). In other words, if I could simply BYPASS or shut off my Hard drive, then the game would simply save to the memory card (one would assume, anyway). So, ispo-facto, why is there NO WAY to FORCE the console with a HDD to save to the memory unit in the dashboard? Seems to me that this was a problem in the original XBOX, and MS could have remedied it, if they actually gave a rat's ass about customer satisfaction that is!

I think it's probable that having made the HDDs interchangeable, MS just thought that the MU would become pretty much useless once you had a HDD.

*Rolls eyes at MS compatibility. Again.*

It's most likely an issue with backwards compatibility. I doubt there are any Xbox 360 games where you can't transfer saves from the HDD to the MU...

I'm sure it is a backwards compatibility issue. My question is WHY you cannot simply copy the raw data from the HDD to the memory card, irrespective of backwards compatibility. This is just another MicroSCUM screwup in my opinion.

You can't put Xbox games on the Xbox 360 memory card last time I checked...

They'll play hard or they're not going to be here.

Well that SERIOUSLY sucks. Unreal! Thanks for the info cdemon.

Ok I feel for you but you need to calm down. Only Xbox games I can play is the Halo games. All my other ones need to be updated.

And you need to stop spamming.
