You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Just recover your gamertag in the dashboard. But you'll need either a wireless internet (recommended) or cable wires and modem.

my 360 will be hooked up to my router, just like my xbox is. I have the cable and everything, im just awaiting the actual 360.
apparently you can still use the gamertag on your original xbox too if you migrate it?

Exactly. The bonus is that you can change the gamertag's name(its still the same account) for 800 MS points once its on the 360. It automatically upgrades to Gold once its migrated. Your payment renewal stays the same date as well. If you don't pay to keep it a Gold when it expires, it becomes a Silver account instead of becoming unusable. Make sure that you know that once it has become a Gold on the 360, you can only change account info on the 360(not the original console). However, you can still use it on original consoles.

Also, it doesn't have to be Gold to link it to the Passport network. It is much easier to migrate if it is, and it seemes you already have your linked. Its a pretty simple process and you should have no trouble. Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX if you do for some reason.

im getting an xbox 360 on friday; and i want to transfer my existing xbox live account from my original xbox onto my 360.

Now, i know one of the things you have to do is make your account a Gold (which is a free upgrade for paid subscriptions from original xboxes, is it not?).

I think though that you need to have your account upgraded to gold in order to link your gamertag in Halo 2, and ive done that.

What exactly do i need to do in order to transfer my account?
