Trying to make Xbox 360 account online but first name isn’t valid no matter what I put in.

NewArmyz · Jul 8, 2021

I made a Xbox 360 offline account a while back and want to make it online to press the Xbox button and go to join Xbox live it takes me to the menu where it wants my name after I press continue then whatever I put in as my username is invalid and for clarification I can’t make a new account because I want to keep my gamer points and trophies.

Hi,

You'll have to use a new account as offline only (or local accounts) can't be converted to Xbox Live accounts on the 360.

As you've already signed up for a Microsoft account to post on these forums, you can download this same account for use on the console. You'll then need to buy a subscription.

Wait so my years old second account is screwed because I can't apply a first name. You're telling me you I'm screwed out of my minecraft 360 saves?

I think this is intentional, Xbox 360 used to be able to do this however I've noticed that no one seems to be able to do this. Seeing as obsessive is an Xbox ambassador and they were so aware of this it leads me to believe that Xbox did this so we would get a new device.
