1 Person 2 Profiles!

    Alright everyone;

    When i started playing my xbox 360 games i set up a profile on the HD called let say 'profile 1'.
    Ive played many games and build up a few achievments along the way.
    So the other night i decided to check out Live to see what all the fuss was about, but i had to create a new profile 'profile 2'.

    Now i play my games on profile 1 and they are saved under this title.
    And when i log onto Live im using profile 2 without the benefits of my gaming on profile 1.

    Is it possible to some how combine my profile achivements?
    Or will i have to start all new games with profile 2?
    Or can i re-name my profile 1?

    Or should i just buy a football and go out and get some fresh air!! ;)

    You can't move achievements to other profiles. you can rename profiles but it costs 800 microsoft points, which is around €12. hope that helps

    It's a pain in the arse. Lost a lot of save games and achievements because I had to set up a different name for my live account.

    I was just lucky that I wasn't 40 hours into something like Eternal Sonata or Blue Dragon, would have been fuming then.

    havent read thru the full amount of this, but its about merging 2 profiles, might be of some help.

    Renaming your profile won't solve this problem, that is just for when you want to change your gamertag from "HaLo3_sux" to "xXx_I_is_A_GaMeR_gOd_xXx" or something. ;)

    See the link above to xbox.com and that should solve your problems with merging the accounts.

    I never said renaming his profile would merge the other account.
