Similar problem here - I kept my XBOX Live gamertag, but changed the Windows Live ID associated with it as soon as that feature was available on the 360 with the fall update. Now I am stuck logging into bungie.net with the old windows live id and its associated bungie.net gamertag, but can no longer do stuff like download film clips to my 360 because the 360's gamertag (same as the bungie.net gamertag) is using a different live id. And, to confuse things further, I tried to revert my change, but that feature is limited to one change per 30-day period.

I would really just like to keep my bungie.net gamertag and my 360 gamertag and have both use the same new windows live id. That these things can not be changed is a real pain. Can anyone explain if there are any options to get this working again?

Yea thats what I was reading about, but what if I havn't changed my live id address. I just want to change my gamertag. Will this cause the same type of problems for my bungie acount?

You're linked gamertag on your account will change accordingly when you change your gamertag. However, your B.net account name will not change.

I have read posts about changing the email address associated with your XBL account and the effect that it has no your Bungie account. If I change my Gamertag will it affect my Bungie account? Or will my bungie account automatically be updated with the new Gamertag?

So when I log in to Bungie.net its still going to have my old name? That's kind of crappy if thats really how it works.
