hey all

my brother just bought xbox gold live on his profile/e-mail address

i dont mind using his account (he does though) but i would prefer to have my own xbox live profile

obviously we use the same xbox 360 so i was wondering if it is possible to use create another account on the same xbox 360/live

if so how?

thanks

Aaron

Yes you can. There are two xbox live accounts on my 360 just like they were two on my xbox. One was mine and the other was my friends. Just buy a xbox live subsription card and on the 360 dashboard click on new xbox live account and enter the subsription code on the back of the card and your set. It should be more detailed than that but it will walk you through it.

It's on the back of the xbox live subscription card you buy at the store.

Sound like you are trying to have 2 gametags on one Live account. I am not too sure if you could do this but I would also suggest that you go over to the XBox Live Forums and search there and you might also want to try calling customer support. You will probably have to purchase another account for your gametag which you can purchase at any store.

You only have one gamer tag per account but you can have multiple xbox live accounts on a console.

ooh kk i think i get ya

the thing is my brother created a new account for live (he didnt know wat he was doing, bless him) so atm his gamerscore is 0

is it possible to move the xbox live account to my offline account (since my gamerscore is 360) and use that one for live instead of my brothers
