    Interesting email I got from MS regarding my Live gamertag...

    Here is an email I just recieved from MS about my Gamertag:

    You're receiving this e-mail because your Xbox Live™ gamertag is almost identical to another subscriber's gamertag.

    To make sure all your stats, hits, tackles and wins are counted, we need you to create a new gamertag. Within the next 10 days, you will be prompted to change your gamertag when you go to your dash. Simply follow the directions to change your gamertag and you will be up and running again in no time ready to play. Don't worry about losing anything...all your stats will carry over to your new gamertag.

    And as a show of appreciation for making the switch, we'll send you a free copy of Project Gotham Racing® 2. You must call 1-800-4MY-XBOX, within the next 7 days to receive your free copy. Let them know that you received this e-mail about changing your gamertag and they will take care of the rest.

    We apologize for the inconvenience—but with your new gamertag, the other 1 million players worldwide will have no problem finding you on their Friends List.

    Happy Gaming
    The Xbox Live Team

    Has anybody received this email before? Why do I have to change mine? I want the other guy to change his. I already have PGR2. This pisses me off.

      What is your gamer tag? I mean, I wonder how close it is. His was probably registered first.

      I have heard of this before, someone had a same name like another guy, but instead of o', he used zero's. I don't remember the name, but it was something like that.

      You can ask them for another game, you'll get basically any game MS makes if you request it.

                              This sounds wierd.

                              Call M$, and see if this is legit. I don't know what "almost identical" ... all your stats, etc are fine - a unique ID is unique, even if only one letter is capitalized differently.



                              Th only possible explanation would be that a new service - say EA, maybe - isn't case-sensitive, and XBL is. So you're WarEagle, and this other dood is wAReAGLE. To XBL they'd be unique, but not maybe to another syatem.
