I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don't travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.
My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB's = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute t

If 8 grapefuit, 7 oranges & 3 lemons weigh the same as 3 oranges, 6 grapefruit & 6 lemons, if a grapefruit weighs 2/3 as much as a lemon & if a dozen oranges weighs 3 kilos, How much does a lemon weigh?

3g = 2l
12o = 3kg
so
oranges = 250g each
so right now its
8g, 1750g, 3l = 750g, 6g, 6l
with my 2g = 3l, we can safely say that it's basically
2g, 7l, 1750g = 750g and 10l
so basically
2g, 7l, 1kg = 10l
therefore
10l = 7l + 2g + 1kg
10l-7l = 2g + 1kg
3l = 2g + 1kg
or 9g = 2g + 1kg
9g-2g = 1kg
7g = 1kg
so 1g is 1000/7
and since g = 2/3 of a lemon
each lemon is 1000/7 x 133% or 190g

Using g for grapefruits, o for oranges and m for lemons (since the 'l' looks too much like a one), we are told -
1) 8g + 7o + 3m = 3o + 6g + 6m
2) g = 2m/3
3) 12o = 3
Straightaway we can work out o - divide both sides of equation 3 by 12 and we get o = 3/12, or 1/4kg. Then if we substitute this value into equation 1, it becomes -
4) 8g + 3m + 7/4 = 6g + 6m + 3/4
Since we also know that 2) g = 2m/3, we can substitute this into equation 4 as well, giving -
5) 8(2m/3) + 3m + 7/4 = 6(2m/3) + 6m + 3/4, which simplifies to
16m/3 + 3m + 7/4 = 12m/3 + 6m + 3/4
Gathering all the m terms on one side of the equation and all the numeric terms on the other gives us -
6) 1 = 5m/3, or 3 = 5m, so m = 3/5kg
And if g = 2m/3 as equation 2 says, then g = 2/3 * 3/5 = 2/5kg.
So that is how we reach the answers of oranges = 1/4kg (250 grams), lemons = 3/5kg (600 grams) and grapefruits = 2/5kg (400 grams).
