PositiveG Veteran Registered: 09/14/00 Posts: 12110	Q - Can I play with my GamerTag on two Xbox's at once? A - No, just one at a time. Q - Can I move my gamertag to a friends Xbox or a 2nd Xbox in my house? A - Yes, using a Memory card or by Downloading the GamerTag via Xbox Live to the 2nd/Friends console. Q - If my Hard Drive dies, do I loose my GamerTag? A - No, you can download it again via Xbox Live. Q - If my Hard Drive dies, do i loose all my save games? A - Yes. Buy a memory card and back them up!

IIRC, one of my buddies had their HD crash. When he got a new HD, Xbox Live already had his saves so all he had to do was download them. Same with purchases, Xbox Live records what you have bought.

PositiveG Veteran Registered: 09/14/00 Posts: 12110	I don't think it keeps the saves. If that's true it's news to me and would be a good thing! However I don't believe your 360 uploads save games to the Live service. Achievements, and M$ points, profile information, yes, saves no. Now if they repaired the whole 360, he may have had the original HD back.

Hengist Senior Member Registered: 08/29/00 Posts: 2583 Loc: Balsa Munitions R&D Institutio...	An easy way to tell. go into the System blade, then Memory. Then find a game save and delete it. Start your game and see if it remembers where you were upto in Single player... I'll tell you now that it wont. It will, as has been stated, remember all your achievements and any online progress, via XBL. _________________________ Hengist.

PositiveG Veteran Registered: 09/14/00 Posts: 12110	That sounds neat. I would like an alternative to their 64MB card files, they aren't big enough to hold all the save game data for all the games I have. So then the triage starts and you prune out your game data when backing up.
