Default xbox live 360

from what i hear the 360 comes with a free silver account that lets you see your friends online but if you want to actually play online and download stuff you have to have a gold account which is apparently what everybody has on the current xbox now. they say your current account will transfer to the 360, but how, i dont get it?

First, you can download content from the Xbox Live Silver package. Is your question of how they will transfer the accounts from your first Xbox to the new one? I would think that all you need is an etherent cable to hook up both the old Xbox to the Xbox 360. Or just using the Retrive Account option I see on my Xbox dashboard on the Xbox 360.

Any idea if you'll get to change your gamertag once you transfer ?

You'll have to call Xbox Live and cancel your current subscription and then set up a new account with a new gamertag.

You use the new xbox live account just as the old one, It should be really simple to transfer.. but you probably need a memory card or something like that.

It is the same xbox live for both systems
