Hi,

Due to outgrowing my 7 year old hotmail name, I'm changing my email address and would also like to associate this with my GfW account.

Is there any way I can change the email I use to login myself, or if I phone the UK GfW team will they be able to do this for me?

Oh, and after trying to do this myself I noticed that I have my country wrong in my profile and I cannot change this either...I think this is because I setup a Zune account before I setup my GfW account and this information carried over (I needed to state I lived in the US to check it out, though I actually live in the UK).

Thanks.

First make a new email address and make sure it is a Live ID.  Then you need access to an Xbox 360.  Sign into Live with the old Live ID then go into the area where you can manage your account and then you can change your old Live ID to the new one.

As to the wrong country, you are out of luck there.  That will never change.

All you can do is make a brand new Gamertag for that with the proper country.  And if you are in a non live supported country, you are definitely out of luck

Well, uh, good luck!
