Ridiculously sick. Enjoy it.

If you’re thinking about selling your Elite 360 (or Premium/Pro) console to put it towards the Limited Edition Modern Warfare 2 360 you might want to sit back on that idea. The biggest interest that the MW2 console seems to have with fans is the 250GB HD that will be included with it.

For those of you that have never had to migrate your data, Microsoft created a data migration kit for those that wanted to transfer data from their 20GB/60GB to the Elite’s 120GB HD. It’s not as simple as it sounds though. The migration kit is probably the hardest item to try get a hold of. It’s not available in stores or sold elsewhere online. If you just buy the Xbox 360 120GB separately, it will include the migration kit for you. Otherwise if you just bought the Elite console itself, it does not include the migration kit. The only way to obtain this kit for your Elite is to call Microsoft’s support. They require your original serial number, your Elite’s serial number, and of course your address information. The charge for it is around $14+ for it.

So you’re thinking that all you need to do is this migration kit and you’re all set for your Xbox. Well, as it stands, you won’t be able to use this migration kit at all to transfer to your shiny new 250GB HD. According to the support document for the current migration kit, it will only transfer within these variables:

• 20GB > 20GB
• 20GB > 60GB
• 20GB > 120GB
• 60GB > 60GB
• 60GB > 120GB
• 120GB > 120GB

“However, content can only ever be moved from the smaller drive only once.  The transfer kit cannot move content from the larger 120GB drive. – source“

There has been no mention of a migration kit being included with the LE MW2 console which doesn’t surprise me as the migration kit was not included with the Elite console. Back in 2007 Microsoft did run a promotion where you were able to send in a form to receive a free migration kit but that has since expired for those within the United States. This form appears to still be valid for those in the UK, Asia, and Africa.

So unless Microsoft releases a new migration kit, I would hold off replacing your current 360 console until then.

Hey guys its Cupcakes here and I just wanted to go ahead and share with you guys the latest images showing off MW2’s Weapon and Killstreak customization screens!

We’ve got plenty more pictures to show, so check them out: Read more…

Just announced by Major Nelson of Xbox Live Director of Programming is the Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Xbox 360 Console.

What else is in the box?

250GB Hard Drive
Two Wireless Controllers
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

It is too bad that I just bought a new Xbox 360 Elite with Jasper because this would of been nice considering how big of a fan I am of Infinity Ward and their Call of Duty video games.

1. UAV’s can now be shot down. Same still goes for helicopters and the AC130.
2. Double weapon attachments, red dot and silencer anyone? 🙂
3. New kill streaks.
4. But with new kill streaks comes death streaks also come with this. After 3 consecutive deaths players will be able to choose their death streaks. They will need to unlock some of these, the default you get is Copycat which allows that player to steal his killer’s class for one round and get a taste of more advanced weapons and perks. Painkiller is another one which awards players 10 seconds of extra health after they have just respawned.
5. Secondary weapons. There is no longer a slot for your pistol it has been replaced with secondary weapons, so if you want to be a sniper and carry a shotgun, you can now.
6. New attachments for your weapons include a heartbeat sensor, thermal scope, tactical knife and more.
7. Riot shields! You can not shoot and hold it at the same time though but you can bash people with it. While not carrying it, you carry it on your back giving you protection from behind.
8. A capture the flag mode is here, which you all probably know if you have seen the flag runner multiplayer video.

The list is not limited to this and there is more details to come so look out for more update posts here as more details come in.

There is a message floating around on the PlayStation Network claiming that there will exclusive Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer maps for Xbox 360.

Fourzerotwo (Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward) has posted a tweet stating for the record that this is FALSE. Do not believe these chain messages or any others as they are typically false.

This will bring you to tears. Just incredibly awesome how much multiplayer is going to be. HOST MIGRATION? YES!, FINALLY and done RIGHT by the looks of it.

Watch the video TILL THE END. There is not only host migration shown there but a little added knife bonus you will want to see.

You’re looking at a raw unedited capture of MP footage. The bad news here is that it will not be here until Tuesday. I will post this footage when available Tuesday. The good news is though that it is all unedited multiplayer footage. 🙂

UPDATE: This has now been posted, find the footage here: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Gameplay Uncut Video
