Do you guys know if there was some sort of gamertag reservation before the X360 Live service came out? When signing up I wanted to use the gamertag Wom, but this one was already in use. But I keep having the idea that I made sure that noone could use Wom so I made some sort of reservation of the gamertag. Problem is, there is nowhere to be found that this indeed was the case.

I know you all could care less, but otherwise I'm not able to sleep for weeks, and i really need my beauty sleep !

As far as i know no reservations, the only way someone could take the gamertag before you if say you got your 360 launch day, would be if its their gamertag from X-Box live on the original X-Box..

The Xbox.com service was allowing registrations ages before the 360 was launched. I already had my gamertag reserved a month before launch, and yes 'Curry' was already gone by that time.

It's like .com domain names: the shorter they are, the more people want them ;)

I have had my name for a long time a couple of years at least. So it has followed me thru just about every system i have owned that let me name a save file. plus i even own the .com lol And for a added bonus i got the license plate.

Yes, of course for $100 USD you can get a cup of water and a loaf of bread.
