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

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.

Yes...it looks like you typed your serial number in the place where you were supposed to create a Zune Tag.

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

i've been reading what everyone is saying ... but i also see that everyone has something different as their zunetag ... nobody has sn 31268513 w/e.

when it says "sn 31831321" is that a zunetag??

sorry if thats a dumb question but zune really confuses me.

Yup, actually, anyone with a Zune Tag can use it to sign in to Xbox Live; it doesn't matter if it's already set up as an Xbox account or not.

And yes yes yes. We actually do count the number of people who make this request and it does influence our plans. :-)

if the zune tag is asociated with your gamertag from XBOX LIVE.

you can change your gamertag for 800 points.

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

jetherealz I think MS should just make it more detailed when user's create there account. From what I have been reading it sounds like everyone had the idea that they would be able to change there name after they have created the account. I myself thought the same thing, like most other threads you are able to change this type of information on your account.


I personally dont mind that you cant change your name, If I could, yes I would. However you are right that people will be using it like Trolls and just hiding in the shadows of the thread, changing there name every 3 monts.

My thoughts, Keep it how it is. Dont let the Trolls take over the Site.

Peace, Love, :-)

We are definitely considering this feature for a future release.

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

I definitely want to change mine.  I didn't realise when I signed up that I already had my preferred name registered against another Live account, so I made this one up to see how it worked.  Little did I know I would be stuck with it.  I don't have an X360, so I can't use Xbox Live to change it all around.

I can understand the reasons for not wanting folks changing their IDs willy-nilly, but you should have the option to change it once every 6 months or so - or within the first month of signing up if you've made a boo boo.

I bought my son a zune then created an account using my msn account with his user name (messenger name aslo).  Now I have my own zune and would like to use my own account name (same as my MSN/Live user name).

Another vote for the ability to change Zunetag.

Or better can we link more then one Zunetag to one account?????

With several users for one account ( 3 Zunes / 3 users ) it gets complicated to use the "social".
