its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

Just wondering, wouldn't it be a simple feature to add? Or is it much harder than I think? It would be really great if we could unlink our GT's, but how come we can't?

We used to be able to, then Microsoft took the option away. Damn them dirty apes!!

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

This is out of Bungie's hands. Its a Microsoft system, and its all under Microsoft's control. The decided that permanent linking was needed, and that's what they did. You can kind of understand their rational, but its still a bit annoying.

I hear you can call 1 (800) 4MY-XBOX and perhaps you'll be able to talk one of them into changing it, but its nothing more than a rumor. I can neither confirm nor deny that.

You sorta can, using this method, although I'm not sure how up to date that information is.

I was playing around on xbox.com the other day, and I ended up linking a gamertag called "SuperFoba" to my account by accident. For the record, this gamertag doesn't exist. I'm stuck with it.

I believe this may have been a deliberate measure to prevent various forms of gamertag abuse... although it seems unusually thoughtful on MS's part...

There's only one kind of metal, and it's black.

Beer = win

There is in fact a way, but it requires that you purchase a new subscription code (not just changing your gamertag as you can do on the 360...).

But as you can see, this would render the original attempt to unlink the current gamertag useless, as you've changed to to something else entirely.
