Hi All,
I've just expieranced a bit of a strange issue with Xbox Live, and wondered if anyone else has had anything similar happen to them?
About 5~ years ago, I lived in the USA, and had an xbox live account - Ciphon.
About 3~ years ago, I moved back to England, and have just purchased another xbox live account - Ciphon UK.
The Ciphon account (USA account) was linked to my hotmail account, but the new account, Ciphon UK, is linked to my gmail account.
I just recieved an email to my gmail account (actually 2 emails about the same thing?), saying "Ciphon UK, heres your free gift from Xbox LIVE". Skimmed the email, and saw that they'd given me an avatar item, but I needed to follow the link to claim it.
I clicked on the link which took me to xbox.com, and asked me to sign in. I signed in with my gmail account, and was logged into the Ciphon account - not Ciphon UK!
Slightly strange as my gmail account didn't even exist when the Ciphon account was greated, so I have no idea how the accounts have become disassociated.
I've contacted Microsoft about the mix up via the contact us form, and am waiting to here back.
Anyone had this problem?
