you can also change it by entering a cheat code on the game Cel Damage

and there's another racing game that does it, but i don't remember which one.

Ya, there are many games that do it because I haven't played any of the above and mine is named after my gamertag (also my profile name for every game I play), so I don't know what game rubbed off on it.

This also works with Rallisport Challenge 2. In fact Rallisport wrote right over the name DOA3 gave my XBOX.

Didnt work. I think I'll just have to rent DoA 3.

Also, using the hostname to change your Xbox's name doesnt allow spaces or special characters.

I have been looking for a way to change my xbox name for a very long time, and finally I found the way to do it! What else is that it was so simple to do that the irony of my prolonged grievious efforts (and search) now just makes me lol.
Anyway, here is how to change your xbox name. This isn't a joke or a stupid prank or anything. I promise it will work!:

-Go get, borrow, rent, whatever 'Dead or Alive 3'. Go into 'Survival Mode' and beat enough characters to get the high score (trust me, it's easy!). Lastly, the name you enter at that point will be the new name of your xbox ! (Don't forget to hit the 'y' button to change upper/lower case).

In my efforts to change it's name in the past, I've come across many options, most including some type of mod or something. I just found this out, did it, and it worked for me. If this is just old news to you then I apologize for wasting your time. But, if this is new and serves as that simple answer you've been looking for- you're welcome... and enjoy!

PS I know this isn't Halo or Bungie related... but... Halo is Xbox! Bungie is Xbox! Halo2 is Xbox!

That because in Windows Networks, your computer names cannot have spaces or special charaters. since Xbox is a microsoft product... you get the picture.

all you need to do on the xbox dashboard, is go to xbox live, settingss, advanced, hostname. I think. If you dont have xbox live on your dashboard, go play a game with xbox live, it will say something like connection lost, and it will now be on your dashboard.
