    Reserved Gamertag Expiration?


    I've been wanting a certain gamertag for a long time now, but when I try to change my current gamertag to it, it says that the gamertag is reserved. I've looked at their profile and it says that they're offline and have never even played a single game. Will
    there ever be a point in time where that gamertag is available, or will this person, who just made an account and never used it, keep that gamertag forever?

    :)

    I just want to get my old gamer tag back, I was pretty sure it said they'd save it for me

    Infinite,

    Gamertags are not solely used for Xbox accounts. They are also used for Zune and Games with Windows accounts. The odds are this person has an account with one of the other two programs and does not play Xbox. Since gamertags are an on-demand service, there
    is no definitive timeframe for when they are purged and freed up for other users. All you can do is keep checking the availability of the gamertag or slightly modify, Hope this clarifies the situation.

    This is dumb. Nobody has a Zune. Make an expiration date for tags that aren't logged in anymore

    Gamertag Reserved

    I'm sorry, but MegaMasterX and MegaMaster X are two different tags, and I get a different message when trying to change my tag to "MegaMaster X".

    I called Xbox Support back and am hoping to get some results soon. It's not like I'm trying to take a Gamertag from someone who is actively using it at all.

    If it was indeed taken by someone else, wouldn't it show up in search results for Xbox Support's internal tools or on Xbox Live?
