So if people traded in their xbox I guess they would lose all their old saved files unless they either used xbox live migration kit or memory card.  How many people will do this probably not enough but I suppose most don't really care.  I would care if I lost all my saved data on my Wii though....   I just wondered how many people would actually transfer their data.  

Pretty much everyone has a spare 1gb usb stick lying around to set saves aside when trading consoles.

I myself have two 16 GB sticks which I use to carry all profiles/DLC games to friends place or between my consoles...

I'm going to need to do this if I can still get the trade in deal (i'm hoping its only for those local gamestops).  Do you have to do some sort of format or something to get them to work?  I'm really only concerned about my mass Effect (1&2) saves, but I really don't want to lose those...
