Xbox 360 Gamertag

A few of my friends and I have bought Xbox 360's, one of our other mates who is annoyed as he cant afford one has registered ScarySquirrel to his MSN Passport for Xbox Live just to annoy me.

How can i get it back? One of my other friends knows his password, so could he log in and delete the profile, allowing me to sign up with that name? or can you not delete profiles?

Your 'friend' sounds like an ass, why would he want to annoy you?

Could you not use a different name?

ScarySquirrel · 11 Apr 2006 at 20:06

I could, but I dont want to. Kinda lame but i have used ScarySquirrel for so long, and never want to change it

Beat him till he gives in and lets you have it tbh...

Twice, in the face.

I'm still annoyed that someone has had Wyrdo for ages but never appears to actually log in. Grrrr!

Get him round to your house and get him to log into the account which automatically saves the username/password of the account.

Turn OFF the computer, do something to distract him, and when he's out of the way, log back in and change the password.

Congratulate him for outsmarting you and managing to annoy you successfully?

Put the "mate" in the ankle lock, hurts like hell and theres little to no chance of escaping.

Don't let go untill he gives you the password.

Also I think it's worth noting that Smackdown Vs RAW 2007 is coming out for xbox 360.

Yep, looking forward to this. Can't beat a bit of semi naked grappling! :eek:

I've always been a console gamer, but have been a heavy PC gamer since Alien vs Predator and Kingpin, so thats around 8 years I believe (could be less) and I haven't played a PC game since December 1st 2005.

ScarySquirrel · 12 Apr 2006 at 08:16

So, can anyone tell me if you can delete Xbox Live profiles? or at least, can you change the name of a profile once it has already been set up?

thanks

Mud · 12 Apr 2006 at 08:21

You can pay to change the name of a profile once its set up.

Someone took 'Mud' for XBOX1 Live! use, so I'm stuck with 'KMud'.
