From August 2nd through to August 8th, the kind folks at M$ are letting you change your GT for 30% less than the normal cost ; )

There is also a Microsoft Studios Sale for game add-ons - standouts for me would be Alan Wake: The Signal and Alan Wake: The Writer for 280 M$ points each.

    man the ultimate in charging for nothing lol.

    • annoynimous on 27/07/2011 - 21:43

      do kids on xbox actually glorify the charge for this?!

      its just some guy in india using backspace key, typing the new name and pressing "update"

      heck that's not worth my sandwich

        I paid to change my Gamertag recently. Why? My original Xbox one that I loved I stopped using for a few years and when the Xbox 360 came out, I couldn't remember the password for my old GT. Recently, Microsoft deleted old unused Gamertags thus I was able to change my name to my old one. May be seen as useless by some, if not many, but to some it's worth shelling out for to update the gamertag!!

    Goddamnit I just bought the Halo: Reach Map Packs for 800 each not two weeks ago…

  • beralj on 27/07/2011 - 20:45

    I wanna get Alan Wake:The Writer, but don't wanna have to buy a whole lot of points-are you able to pay by credit card for a single thing? I've never bought something before from the marketplace…

    800msp to change gamertag is such a joke.. microsoft is so greedy.

    should be free or 200 at most.

    • FlyingKanga on 27/07/2011 - 21:10

      nah be happy with em. Sony's more greedy. :P

    • Smigit on 28/07/2011 - 09:29

      I always imagined the point in charging a fee was to deter it while still giving you the option. Not so much for technical reasons, it's a pretty basic change, but more for the social implications it creates.

      That doesn't explain this discount however.

  • ur2dads on 27/07/2011 - 21:18

    Man if only PS3 allows me to change my name. I got my local name confused with my PSN name and now my PSN is my real name. #EpicFail

  • UFO on 28/07/2011 - 00:18

    it sucks that MS charges so much normally, but its not like you can go elsewhere. this is a legit bargain, plus vote!

  • Tal_Shiar on 28/07/2011 - 00:24

    I've heard that the xbox live report system is automated, so if you report yourself enough or from another account, it should reset your gamertag

    Probably attract more mention by spruiking the DLC sale rather than the gamertag sale.

  • slimjim on 29/07/2011 - 15:08
