Currently transferring: all my old 360 data to my new Elite HDD

Yes, I'm crazy. I've bought a console I already own which works fine, again. I had an old 20gb model 360 and between the lack of HDD space, which will become especially annoying once the fall update hits, and the lack of HDMI, I bit the bullet and got an Elite, as they just dropped in price. Completely out of the blue, it turns out I get a 50 euro rebate! Awesome, right? Elite for only 250 euro...

Also after much cursing at the TV I beat The Force Unleashed on the hardest difficulty today (whilst waiting for my elite to arrive in the mail, which it did as the final cut scene rolled - talk about good timing). It was frustrating, and brought to mind that article I read recently on how to make hard games hard in a fair, challenging way. In TFU, everything is artificially hard: enemies have ridiculous amounts of health (Seriously, a stormtrooper can't get impaled, shocked, thrown against a wall and survive, that's just bullshit) and you die crazy fast. But through very cautious playing, abusing lightning and skipping all the hard fights that can be skipped (first room in the final level? Didn't fight a single enemy. If you've been there, you'll know how much that room sucks.). So now just to collect all the Holocrons and get 500 kills with the various force powers and I'm golden.
Alright, later dawgs
