Topic: Hello there! I'm really excited about Xbox-Live, but America will be the first to be able to use it so I heard! This means a lot of nicknames are already taken by the time Europe (The Netherlands) will be able to pick nicks! Is there a solution so I am guaranteed to use my own nickname? (Perhaps allow un-unique names?)
Michael Hello and welcome to Xbox interactive online chat support! My name is Michael.
twi Hi there, Michael
Michael That's a very good question, Twi. I have fairly good news about this issue.
Michael The main gamer tag will be unique, its true, so that you have a point in that many of the coolest names will be taken first by early users of the service. However....
Michael you will also be able to change your handle in various games, so you can change your name when playing different games
twi Ah well that's quite a relief for many people up here I bet.
Michael So if your main user name is Wizard for example, and you want to play a racing game, you could temporarily call yourself Speedy for example
twi There isn't any other news about Xbox-Live in Europe available sofar I bet? Pricing, launch and the rumour that 3rd party games like Phantasy Star will charge extra above the regular Xbox-Live monthly costs?
twi Well that's good news, thank you
Michael It should launch in Europe shortly after the fall launch in North America - but no, we don't have any additional details at this time, Twi.
twi Alright well thank you for this information about the nicknames. I'll just be patient and hook up my Xbox with others for multiplayer experience untill Xbox Live launches. Thanks again and have a nice day
