    The lack of a ps3 kinda rules that out.

    When you have a Offline Xbox profile and then make it live, Your points will still be there. I had about 2900G when I switched to XBL.

    And PS3 is crap (not a XB fanboy or anything)

    You do know WHIPIT that PS3 is introducing charges for online services from summer. 60 Euro for 3 months (I think) and there is 4 packages. Neither of them will allow you to have the full features of the PS3.

    I dont mind paying 60 Euro a year for Xbox Live. At least we can actually play online games rather than some "Home" crap that the PS3 has.

    I'm sorry. But PS3 is crap!!!!

    My offline name is taken so I'm forced to sign in with my xbox.com profile.

    Does it not ask you to get another name if you try to connect to XBL using your offline account.

    I had to choose a name because Padraig was taken

    My username here is my XBL gamertag which was suggested to me by XBox Live. I dont know what way they do it now on the NXE but I signed up when the "Blades" were still around (Pre-2008)

    If you cant get your offline profile to switch to a LIVE profile. Ring Xbox support http://xbox.com/en-ie/support (I think that is the link)

    So just log into xbox live with my old profile and create a new gamertag seems to be the best option.
