how do i get a 1 2 or 3 letter gamertag?

You kind of have to get lucky with those. As you said, they're pretty much already taken. Those are pretty popular for some reason so you would have to find a combination that isn't taken.

I'm sure by now all 1, 2, and 3 letters gamertags have been used by now.

2 letters are so pointless unless they're real words such as At, or OR, not just random letters and numbers.

Plus, yours is 3 characters. When you make a gamertag, it doesn't go by letters, it goes by characters, which you have 3 of.

I don't know how long you've had your account, but i'm gonna make an assumption that you've bought the gamertag since every 2-3 character gamertags have been made and are silver accounts.

It has no meaning to it, it isn't an old nickname, it doesn't, for lack of a better term, "stick" to you.

It's a random gamertag that has no meaning and your just lucky to have because people really get off to the fact that they have a random short gamertag that affects your gameplay none.

But congrats, I guess.

I have a few four letter gamertags on my fl from playing with them in the beta. There was an ex-employee that was one letter that was still gold the last time I checked. Don't remember ever seeing a 2 or 3 letter gamertag.

If you do it correctly you can do it riggt the first time without waiting 30days

so gamertag 1 has ms account 1

and gamertag 2 has ms account 2

so you need an ms account 3

So you change gamertag 2 with ms account 2 with ms account 3

then replace gamertag 1 with ms account 2 and then wait for the 30days to replace ms account 3 for gamertag 2

so replace gamertag 2 and ms account 2
