XBOX Live Question

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have a question hopefully someone can answer.

I have an XBOX360 which my 12 year old son has in his room. He has been using my XBOX Live screenname.

My wife today was able to snag me another XBOX 360 and I want my screenname back.

My 12 year old does not want to give it back to me because he fears he will need to restart all his games again.

Any idea how I can get my screen name back and give him his own?

Achievements are tied to gamertags, unfortunately.

Would you be willing to use a new gamertag ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

My gametag is SatelliteGuys which is why I want it. But I guess it could be easier to chose a new gamertag.

i got my six year old his own account as well for that very reason. he was using mine and pulling down my rankings, etc. xbox 360 makes it very easy to have multiple accounts on one 360. in your case they would be on differnet ones. however, if you guys play together, you can both sign in to record achievements.

Why not SatelliteGuysBossMan

 

[jbcheshire]

Here is what you do. You go to him and say your 12 I'm your dad your new gamertag is blah blah get over it

I kind of have a similar thing were my brother is living with us and he has been using my gamertag alot to play PGR3 he has knocked my rep down from 100% to 60%

How do you set up a second account so they can go on live without having to pay? I tried setting one up for my brother but it kept wanting him to pay for another xbox live gold membership.

I got setup Saturday night, I am now SatGuyScott.

Man I really like this XBOX 360. The first two days I played with it and I didn't even stick a game in the drive.

Download a boxing game trial which saved me from buying the game. Viewed all the videos on the hard drive the Titanic stuff was great in HD!

I got it to hook up to my Windows Media Center PC and now can watch live tv on my XBOX360 plus I have access to my music library and more. I was even listening to XM via my XBOX360. Very Cool!

I am looking forward to Burnout Revenge this week.

I am looking forward to Burnout Revenge this week.

don't forget about ghost recon this thursday.

 

[Prometheus23]

Isn't Ghost Recon supposed to come out today? I have it reserved at best buy and the reservation card says the 8th... Did it get pushed back?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

My wife has gone from store to store today and can't find Burnout anywhere. today is the release date correct?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

My wife just called, she got Burnout and Ghost Recon as well!

What a great wife.

 

[Prometheus23]

Thats good news... What is burnout supposed to be like? Haven't heard much about it.

Thanks for the info korsjs. My brother WON'T! be using my account/GamerTag (rankings). I'm going to buy a modem this month, and dig out my Live Kit (which came w/ Crimson Tide?/cotton camel [no jokes please ]; actually I think its Crimson Wars or whatever) activate my kit for the first time, and hopefully you will let me into your circle of Live players.

The only other Live title that I know I have off-hand is, Full Spectrum Warrior [the original]. Thanks.

I just bought my girl cousin Burnout (BO) 2 Point of Impact, latest BO game for GC) for her birthday. I have the original for GC as well. You will LOVE! the series.

The only other game that I know of that comes close to BO 's AWESOME! frame rate is Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit for the ORIGINAL PSX. Thanks for listening.
