Saminthehat Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hey everyone. Soon I'm buying an Xbox 360 off a mate with 8 months of Live left. He, naturally, already has a gamertag. What I want to know is, how can my xbox.com made gamertag (Saminthehat) use the subscription? I heard only 1 gamertag is allowed per subscription. Basically, I see it as two options: 1. I delete his account and load my new account as the default Live user. Is this possible or will the Live subscription be deleted with his Gamertag? 2. I edit his account into mine. i.e. pay the 800 MS points for name change, change profile settings (e-mail etc.). I really don't want to have to do this. Thanks a bunch.

rokhed00 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 You've got no choice, if you want the remaining eight months you'll have to use his gamertag and change the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Works out good value though, £5 for 8 months Live. Just tell you're mate that you cant use his Live, therefore its no use to you and he cant use it when valuing his 360 Might get the whole thing for cheaper that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saminthehat Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 lol yeah. In any case I'll still have to buy a ~£35 Xbox Live account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Just take the 8 months left and change the name, the only problem being is that you'll have his achievements (i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saminthehat Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I suppose I could...it's just...will I need his Windows Live ID password and e-mail at all because I think he's probably linked his Gamertag with it? i.e. will I need his password in order to change anything about the profile on the Xbox?

Yes, you will, you'll need the email address and password linked to the account, just tell him to change the password after you've changed the details of the Live subscription if he doesn't trust you.

Saminthehat Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I just hope he only created the Windows Live ID to play Live and isn't an active user of it. That way he can just hand over the whole e-mail account along with the Gamertag and Live subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
