I've grown bored of mine so I'm thinking of changing it. How often do you change yours, if at all?

never, not on 360 any way only did one timeback in 06 when i first became gold member didnt like my original name

why should i pay 10 to do somthing yahoo or sony lets you do for free , speakin of yahoo i have 50 names or more lol

none are paid for they are free of charge , and can cancel them any time i want w 360 you can not ,

you can downgrade tosilver but you can not deactivate the account i triedone of my extra ones i only used for free dlc ,

and it said error you have other things assciated with it

-eg hotmail ,

so to cancel an xboxlive account you also gotta cancle your email which is prety lame because i dont want to cancel my email just my xbox live silver!

my option isn't on there... I've changed it once. I had an extra 800 points to spend, and this was early in the 360's marketplace library, so there wasn't much else to buy. lol

Never have, and I don't plan to. I'd rather use my money to buy something I'll actually enjoy. Like a game...

Never have and never will, the reason i say this is because when i was thinking of a gamertag i didn't just rush into a name, i took a while to figure out a name for my gamertag, and i made one which i knew i would like for years to come. ;)

I don't ever change it. Not because of money, but because am proud of what i did under that gamertag. I am mediocre player, but proud never the less.

I never have and I don't plan too. Not only is it a waste of money, but it's what most of my friends on live call me.

Never have changed my gamertag. Having to pay money to do so is kinda crazy IMO. I took a little time to think of a gamertag that would fit me and be a little funny at the same time.

I used to smoke a ton of pot and thought I had the best name in the world, Dank Green. But then I stopped smoking so much pot and got tired of people making pothead jokes on Live and changed it. I love my Live and PSN name now though.

Same thing here id never change it and mines is actually unique i think. Thats why people need to actually think about a good name before they make it and get stuck with something like a$$master3000 for the next 5 years. A good name is something youll never get bored of.

A. its a total waste of money, B. your friends on your list wont know who the heck you are and delete you, and C. you dont need to change your name unless your getting spammed /harrased by some d-bag 12 year old who cant take losing to you in MW2.

This is one of the main reasons I hate name changes. Over half of my friends have changed their names in the past month and a half and I have no idea who's who anymore.

always thought i'd keep it the same, since all my alliases are along the overlord lines, but I recently change mine so I could fit in a bit better with the clan I'm in, its 800 ms points, and that was mostly made up of spare change from other things.

I've changed it once. I was known as Vermilion since my old clan days on CoD1 (**AC** Alpha Company) and UT on the PC years ago, and had VermilionUK as my Gamertag when I signed up to Xbox Live. I felt I wanted a change last year though so I chose my new name. I had the ms points in my account anyway, and there was nothing worth buying at the time.

No doubt I'll probably change it back to Vermilion in a few years.

I've done it twice, embarrassing really, I changed it once at like 2 in the morning and thought it was a good name. Turned out the next day it wasn't so I changed it back. I think I'll keep my current one for now, can't go simpler than your name.

Never, your becoming bored of your name? Maybe you should pick a name you actually like before making one.

Twice since 2006 when I got my 360. I didn't pay for a name change and instead made completely new accounts which is why my achievement points are so low.

I hate my gamertag but I would never waste $10 to change it.
