anyone happen to know if/how it is possible to reactivating an old gamertag with xbox live? I canceled my ship about 2 years ago after I sold my 360, I got a new 360 over the weekend and I was going to see about picking my old tag back up...I found some mixed info online...

I'm going to try that later on when I get home from work...I didn't see this option last night when I was messing around with it...but from the different things I have read so far, this could work...

Call them and ask.

how about you call them, and then tell me what they said...

very true, I'm holding out hope because of the obscure nature of the name...right now I'm trying to find one of those Xbox live redemption codes...

if you already have a profile made sign out, got to my xbox. then go were it says 1 profile found click on it. it should have the options to sign into your existing account, create new, and recover gamertag.

or you could stop being a pussy since you're probably going to have to call them to do it anyway.

if you can recover it, you can reactivate it... just because you canceled your Subscrip doesnt mean the GT was deleted.

If it was deleted, recreate it?
