I just bought a xbox 360 couldnt wait to play my new game on live. But for what ever reason every time i go to recover my gamertag from my old xbox a message pops up. The message reads "Xbox Live sign up is currently unavialable please try again later". So i waited a day figuring it was just under maintenance. Any now five days have gone by and it says the same thing. Does anyone know why this could be happening? And how can i fix it if it is my fault.



P.s. sorry if this is in wrong forum it's my first post on bungie.

if you are directly selecting "Recover GamerTag" then it wont work that way. you have to go to the purple (or last blade) which is system settings. im pretty sure you can take it from there. your looking for migrate gamertag or something like that.

Yeah its family settings, they mess with everything, turn it all off, or what you think you will need to turn off. It will limit who you can talk to even on xbox live, and whether or not you can send friend requests.
