Im looking to buy a XBOX 360 System link cable so i can connect me and my mates 360 consoles together
Where can I get one in the UK ? (They must accept paypal as payment method)![]()
It should have come with an ethernet cable in the box, that will do the job just fine.
It won't. That is a standard straight through cable for connecting to routers and ethernet modems. To connect a 360 to another 360 just like a PC to a PC you need a cross over ethernet cable.
Off topic, since this is about connecting two consoles together to game, not for transferring harddrive data. But when you do the harddrive transfer it'll overwrite everything on the Elite drive and then delete everything on the Premium drive. If you want to keep the saves on the Premium too, I believe you can get your PC involved and copy it that way. There was a post about it on this forum somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.If I start playing (and saving) games on my Xbox elite and then transfer over my saves from my premium once I get the cable, will it overwrite any saves? Or am I just best off playing the premium until the cable comes through?
Also will the cable erase anything from the premium? Me and my stepbrother both play the premium so it has his profile and saves on the console as well.
Thats odd because when me and my brother did system link-up afew months back all we used was the grey cable that was in the box and it worked fine.

No you don't. The XBox 360's network controller automatically switches to accomodate either lead.
