Xbox 360 Nametags, Post here,

[mr bee]

Yes our 360's are nearly here. I thought we could post our new Gametags/nametags so that we can find each other online. Good Idea ?

[mr bee]

You should find out before me you lucky chap. I think you just set it up, like your profile name when you set up you xbox live account. It then stays with you . No doubt its all explained in that box that you are getting at midnight.

I had visions of a bloke who'd been set up the tree in his front garden more than a dozen times, to rescue a cat who particularly liked climing said tree

If you already have a live account with the Xbox do you need to set-up another one with the 360?

If its the same price as the 360, Id strongly guess (if there is such a thing as strongly guessing) that no, you will not need an additional account.

A subscription based companies most valuable asset is subscriptions, and they will likely do everything they can to keep your custom. I would. Just a guess though

gamertag is randlemarcus.
Re the Live account, I understand that you can transfer the account across - which is why I just bought Forza plus a 12 month card from Ebay

UKbob. Live is a LOT more fun than I thought it would be

I chose the recreational style of play (switchable to family, pro and underground) I think 90% of my playing is going to be on live

Want to hear more "how great it is / what you're really missing" comments

I wonder if MS have released figures on expected systems before the end of the year. You can be sure that the lack of stock was a publicity ploy, whatever their claims. Better for a system to sell out then not sell out etc.

Got mine not played anything yet. Just set up online account; ferdi fat cat, is my gametag.

Xbox 360 gamertag : Cassp0nk (thats a zero, not an 'o')

Grateful to race against anyone who has a solid grasp of English and can manage a whole sentence without swearing 9 times. So far not been impressed with the random people I've met...

After a race set 'prefer player' or 'avoid player' and live will try to set you up with the people you had the best laugh with next time around. You cant rate all the tw@ts out there, but you could build up a network of preferred mates

Give me by the weekend and it'll be GI Jnr.

Picked up the system on Friday, spunked £3k on a plasma on Saturday and only managed to get in an hour on Sunday so far...
