xbox live horror story (worst case scena ...

It's November of 05. I leave a store with an Xbox. Couldn't be happier. Didn't have XboxLive, but that didn't bother me too much. I took solace knowing I would have lots of gamer points for when I finally got it. Fastforward to 45 mins. ago. Finally I got XboxLive. My profile's name was already taken. No big deal. I knew I could somehow fix it. Microsoft sends me a brief email describing what to do. Not very detailed, but whatever. So I try changing the name on my profile to be able to migrate it online. Biggest mistake ever. I have lost everything. Thousands of hours. 17,000+ gamerpoints. And the will to live. I wouldn't be so upset if it wasn't for that poorly written email microsoft sent me. I read it even now and I'm still not sure wtf happened. I can't help but feel raped.So if anyone has had a similar situation and can offer any advice to us noobs, please share. If you've had a similar experience, please indulge us. xbox live horror story (worst case scena ...

That's rough man, the only thing I can say is try to contact Microsoft and see if they'll fix it.
Ouch that sucks see if you can get your points back somehow. if that happend to be i would yell my guts out at microsoft to fix it.
When you created this ''new'' profile, your xbox tells you before you commit that you will lose all that stuff.
It's common knowledge that if you created a new profile you'd lose the old one.

Maybe it was punishment for renting Avatar and getting those cheap 1,000 gamer points? Just messing with ya. Unless you really did that then SHAMESHAME!
Sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your 17,000 GS.
why so upset? just be happy it was something worthless like xbox points you lost.

Dang man. By then I'd say screw it and buy a PS3... but then I'd have no games to play...haaaa
not reading what the LIVE blade tells you is your fault, so suck it up learn to read and stop blaming MS for your stupidity.
yeah no way around it if your name was taken you were screwed from the start.
