Data Migration Kits Now Sold Separately
If you’ve ever purchased a previously owned hard drive, or any hard drive that wasn’t in the 120GB range, then you know first hand how much of a setback it often is when transferring your game data. Place a call to Microsoft and wait for a customer service rep? Check. Explain to said rep that you need a data transfer cable and then play waiting game? Double check. What’s even more loopy is the fact that you used to be able to get the kits for free. And then Microsoft realized they could make some extra coin charging you for it, and they started selling the cables for $12.
 
With the phasing out of the 20GB hard drives, it seems a lot of people are upgrading their storage hardware. So now The House of Gates has decided that it would be a good idea, to not only charge you more for the Data Migration Kits, but to also sell them at retail. For the price of $14.99 and a trip to your local Microsoft Store, you can be the proud owner of Data Migration Kit.
 
There’s been no word yet on if the cables will hit regular retail stores, but I’d bet they will make their way to those venues eventually.
