Question about Xbox 360 and saves...

Ok, I got an Xbox Arcade edition after the price drop and I've ordered a hard drive off of Ebay. It won't be here until Wednesday, but understandably, I've got a few games I want to play now (Gears, Bioshock, GTA4). I want to know if I create a profile and then save games (I do have the 256MB card that it came with), will I be able to transfer that to the hard drive later?

Or would I just be better off waiting until the drive gets here to play?

    Yes, you can transfer to the drive when you get it.

    There are a few exceptions. Forza 2, for example, won't let you copy it. Just move it. This is to prevent vehicle duping. Also, regular Xbox games can't be copied or moved from the drive they're installed to. Kinda sucks.

    Well, that won't be a major issue since, according to the box, I won't be able to play old Xbox games. I'm not sure why, but... whatever.

    Because I think they require the HD. Once you have that you can.

    Yeah, the hard drive has 2 gigs of it stored with the xbox emulation software, so you'll need it for xbox games.
