You can just sign up for a gamertag now and use it on the 360. I'm keeping mine until I can change it to something cooler.

If anyone would take my future tag... I would be so mad . Really you can't reserve tags.

You can't "reserve" tags in the sense you're probably thinking. If you want a tag that badly, go out and buy an xbox live kit or find a 2 month trial and sign up for one right now. You'd have to pay for the time until the 360 is out unless it's a trial. It's the only (fair) way you're going to reserve one. If you really want a certain tag that badly then it'll be worth it to you.

To me it just doesn't sound fair otherwise. First come first serve. No one should get any special treatment unless they're willing to pay, imo.

I heard that once you get a gamertag, you can change it later if you dont like it. I think thats cool, but how many times will they let you do that?

I'm guessing as long as you want. Your reputation will always follow you thought.
