If I wanted to upgrade from a premium to an elite, would there be any implications regarding my gamertag and saved games on my premiums hard drive?

Thank you.

my friend traded his in at gamestation, they let him keep his hard drive until he got everythin off it, he ordered one of these http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-hard-drive-transfer-kit-hands-on/
then he just takes his hard drive to game station and gets some money for it

To keep the save games you will need to keep your hard drive from your premium coinsole.

You can retrieve your gamertag online once connected to xbox live.

Looks pretty straight forward, what kind of deal did he get on his trade in?

I take it that lead transfers all the data including gamertag info? I have my credit card registered to my gamertag for buying points, live subscription etc, how would I go about wiping my gamertag off old xbox and putting it onto the new one?

What about if I have things like head sets, and I have about 5 games I could trade in too! They'd do a deal on that wouldnt they!

One last question you mentioned formatting the hd to get rid of all my info, how do you do that?

Also, will I have to re-subscribe to live?
