Quick question regarding Xbox.

I currently run my Xbox in our spare room. Now that iplayer in on Xbox lLive I'm think of having another one in the living room. How easy would it be to transfer saved games such as Skyrim from one Xbox to the other and back again so that I could play on either machine.

Easiest way is to swap the hard drive between consoles. Beware of mixing old and new ones, as the drives are different.

Not any more it isn't - the last dashboard update added cloud storage for saved games, so if you log in with the same user name you can access and play the game from both Xboxes.
