re: How Do I Change My "Username" On My Zune Profile?

Sorry to bring this up from the dead, there are so many post on this same topic so I just decided to pick this one.

+1 for the option to change your Zunetag

Having to pay with actual cash is too much. However, maybe implementing a point system having to do with your badges/plays which allow you to "purchase" the right to change your tag would work. I also like the idea somebody mentioned above about how ebay lets you change it once per X number of months.

That's not a bad idea, actually.  Maybe when one reaches 30,000 plays or so, and have proven their loyalty, they will be given permission to change their name if they want.

I'm not so sure about 30,000 plays, changing your username shouldn't be such a big deal. bBeing able to change your username once every six months or so would be much simpler.

I know I wouldnt want to pay money for something like my username

I just wanted to remind you guys what the screen looks like where you sign up for a Zune Tag. Check out the image at the link below.

If it's not clear from this page, what else should this page say or have on it? When I look at it, it seems pretty clear to me - but I'm open to suggestions from you on how to improve the understanding here of what you're supposed to be doing.

^ It should say something along the lines of "Your Zune Tag is a permanent identification.  Once set, it cannot be changed."

I think many are falsely under the impression it is something they can "customize later", like many other services out there nowadays.

It is not clear that you will never be able to change it or may be subject to a fee to do so. The information needs to be communicated to consumers more effectively. Looking at that sign-up, one would think they would pick anything now and then change it later. I do that very often when signing up for something, especially if I can't think of anything or what I want it taken. That is of course, unless it identifies it can't be changed then I will either think of something on the spot or altogether abandon the registration process until I am ready.

Actually, it's not. It's coming very soon, but it has a dependency on something else that's being rolled out by another team in a few weeks - so we can't release this until the other thing is done. I'll post when it happens.

Jessica, I'm not sure what the experience is now, but back in December when I first signed up for my Zune account, I signed in using my Windows Live ID not knowing there was an Xbox gamertag associated with that account. That tag became my Zune tag and I was stuck with it. If it doesn't already, the signup process should show you the Xbox gamertag and warn you that it will permanently become your Zune tag and allow you to abort and sign in with a different Live ID.

re: How Do I Change My "Username" On My Zune Profile?
Hello.
I've owned my Zune since Dec. 2007, I love it and everything, but in June I moved to Alaska from Puerto Rico, and I had changed the name I used for mostly everything. I would REALLY like to change my zunetag, It's NOW that I find out that there is a new zune update, I haven't synced my zune to a PC since June... it's back in PR.

You'll be able to in a few weeks; it will cost 800 MS points.
