Okay, I think I just screwed up royaly on my GamerTag.

 

So I'm getting a Xbox 360 tomorrow, going to get a gold membership and all, yadayada. Well. I went to xbox.com to create a gamer card ahead of time, I logged into my passport... put in my gamer tag I'm going to create tomorrow, selected my playstyle or what ever and clicked next.

 

Well, after I clicked next, firefox froze and I had to close it. Now, I went back to xbox.com and went back to the creation page, and it says my GamerTag is in use... now I'm really pissed off that I wont be able to use that tag... and that I wont be able to have a gamer card. I'm hoping customer support can help me with this in 20 mins. Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you set a password? All you would need to do is recover your gamertag from the X360. Hopefully that will b all to resolve this.

I didn't even set anything except log into my passport, put in my gamertag, selected a gamer pic and clicked next.

Alright, I contacted customer support and the guy said that if I create my tag on my xbox360 tomorrow, I should have no problem using the gamertag that I wanted to use.

Lol, the dude said I should have no problem creating it on my 360 tomorrow, using the same gamertag. And if I do I should just call and they'll help me further.

Wow, same exact thing happened to me, I made my account on Xbox.com, but I had some trouble with my email address so I couldn't make that account, had to remake the account over and over but every time "that account name was already in use." Once I got the 360 and made my account there I could use my name, so no worries ;)

You should either call 1800 4myxbox or try going throught the process again. This has never happened to me but I have recovered a gamertag before.
