I am getting back on to xbox live (got a 360 for Christmas) and would like to change my old Gamertag. I read on xbox.com that you have to get "Microsoft Points" to change it. How much does this cost? Thanks.

It costs 800 Microsoft Points and can only be done through the console itself I believe.

Well, here in the UK it costs £6.80. In the USA it costs $10. Use this tool for working out points in real currency.

Lol. Nah, that's cool. I was wondering when you can change your Gamertag. Is it when you migrate your account, or can you change it whenever you want?

I don't think that works since they review the item in question to see if it is inappropiate. People would abuse this too much otherwise.
