I know this is probably a very dumb question, but possibly people have found a way to do it. Does anybody know if there is a way to change a gamertag on an ORIGINAL xbox. If so please help me.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

I've never changed my gamertag personally, but would it be possible to sign into Xbox.com, and then change your gamertag from there? Like I said, I've never done this myself, but there is a chance that you could do it via the Xbox website.

You can't change your GT on the original Xbox.

If you've got the chance, go for it. Seeing as you can't change it on the original Xbox, and it doesn't look like you can do it from Xbox.com, that's the way to go. Do whatever works when you can.

I remember back in the OG halo 2 days I changed my gamertag like 5 times on the OG xbox LOL

The 3 times was because I asked everyone to send me bad name feedback and it worked, and the 2 times what I would do is call up xbox and tell them someone is harassing me and keeps messaging me and following me etc and then they would let you change your name. But that was back in 05 when the 360 didnt come out yet :)

I'm pretty sure that you can't recover accounts on the original Xbox.
