For those who have been wanting to change it. The Deal of the Week is a discount on changing your Gamertag. The service is now available for 560 Microsoft points ($7 bucks), so head over to Xbox.com to learn more. This ends on August 8th.

This may very well be the worst Deal of the Week ever...it's not even a deal, just less of a rip off...

I agree 10$ is excessive to basically change your name. But 7$? Let me crack an egg of knowledge all over you: Pick a name you'll actually like, and you won't have to get ripped off by MS. Then again.. some people are not very bright when it comes to this stuff. I was once friends with this guy who literally changed his GT about 6 or 7 times. He used to send everyone one of those voice messages saying he changed his tag again and I just kept rolling my eyes every time. Think about it.. 70$ towards changing your name. And that was just within the 2 months I was friends with him. I got so sick of the "message to all friends..." voice message that I unfriended him. Ridiculous..

lol @ changing their name 7 times Don't laugh but I spent 300-400 points on outfit stuff, that seems like a silly waste of money but it was entertaining, so whatever. I got the overcoat from FF13 and a pirate hat.

Saving $3 during a sale is pretty abysmal.

I agree 10$ is excessive to basically change your name. But 7$? Let me crack an egg of knowledge all over you: Pick a name you'll actually like, and you won't have to get ripped off by MS.

I like it when someone on your friends list spams you with messages begging you to submit a complaint about his name because he thinks he'll get a free name change out of it.

I know a guy like this in real life, and he defends his $50 spent on changing names every time I bring it up. I would've rather bought 2 new $20 games for that, or something.

To me they are begging to be taken off my friends list. Being the nice guy I am, I am happy to comply.:P

Most of my name changes came from MS forcing me to do so, but I think I may have paid once when I had some spare points with nothing to spend them on. However as far as spending money on DLC goes, I dont want to think the countless amounts of money spent on additional rock band songs....

Why does your gamertag even matter? Nothing changes at all when playing games. It dosen't improve your xbox live experience. It's just a name.

lol I hope that was sarcasm. Because when I see a gamertag like "BestGmRev3rrr" I immediately shake in my boots and my controller slides out of my sweaty hands and I immediately get killed. Curse that guy with his intimidating gamertag! He had a mental edge over me!
