Yeah. Do note there are a handful of games which have saves which refuse to transfer over: you'll probably lose them. However, assuming you remember your Microsoft account details, you should be able to re-download all of your DLC and stuff. Don't forget to transfer your console licences first once you get your new console, so you can play with your stuff offline (do this first before you re-download anything).
Is there a way to quickly get all your game saves copied? I was thinking about copying everything to the cloud or to a USB stick, but from memory isn't each game in a folder, where you then have to find the save and copy it?
Also if I put a copy of everything onto the Cloud, is there a way to keep everything on the HDD synched with the cloud? I copied a Borderlands 2 save to the cloud, used it to go up a few levels, then loaded the HDD save and it was still at a lower level, so they don't seem to Autosync. Obviously you run the risk of one getting corrupted and overwriting a good "old" save, but a "sync all now" option would be good.
