    Why does changing your gamertag on Xbox Live cost so much?


    Charging AU$13 for a username change is a bit expensive, and we could all agree we would love it if either gamertag changes were free or the fees were cheaper. I could purchase a game with that $13, or at least put it to a better use. I don't understand
    why a lousy username change is worth that amount of money.

    :)

    How much does changing your gamertag in Australia cost?

    Hi WonkyTesti, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    If this is your first time changing your gamertag, you can change it once for free. This is true whether we created it automatically when you first signed up for Xbox (that is, if you didn't choose it) or if you created your own gamertag when you signed up.

    Your first gamertag change is free, regardless of the number of changes you have made in the past, before the update. Subsequent changes will cost the same as before ($9.99).

    WHY DOES IT COST MONEY TO CHANGE YOUR GAMERTAG?

    Also therr would be more suspensions or no serious thought to names if it was free

    If a forced name change occurs then the person try a similar name with the same offence it just incurs another forced name change and they never change their ways without thought

    And too many of those will incur a permanent ban

    Hence the cost people.wouldn't change their name everytime they see a new character they think about it first before spending 10 bucks

    Or at least put serious thought into their names

    WHY DOES IT COST MONEY TO CHANGE YOUR GAMERTAG?

    Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

    It's like the other games online, they require a payment to change the username or gamertag. We are only given a free change once. I believe this is to limit the abuse of changing gamertag and to not keep on changing it to allow other users claim their preferred gamertag.
