How do I organize information between the two Xbox 360's in the same house?

Through a twist of fate, I have 2 xbox 360's to use in different rooms in my house. Let's call them "original" and "new".

The question is: How do I organize information between the 2 consoles?

There are 2 main users... each will mainly be using their own console.

• Both users have saved games from borderlands splitscreen coop on the original. I'd like to preserve the ability to do splitscreen coop.
• Both users have saved games from Mass Effect 1 and 2 on the original.
• There are some xbox live games downloaded (such as Carcassonne) on the original that we'd like on both.

Nothing is currently networked and there are is one existing xbox live silver account.

Solution 1:

Get two memory units (or USB drives if you have the newer XBox360 Slim). Store each profile on one along with any save file you'd like to have available for on both consoles.

That's what me and my bf do

Also, downloaded content works A) on the console it was downloaded on and B) from the profile who downloaded it. So have your gold membership profile download content on his/her non-primary console first to add the license to that HDD, then to their primary console 2nd and you'll be able to use the content from both consoles.
