How to Change a Linked Gamertag for Windows Live

Your Gamertag might have seemed cool back in the day, but if you are feeling it's a bit outdated, you can give yourself a new moniker through the Windows LIVE Guide. Changing your Gamertag costs 800 Microsoft points, so be sure you choose your new name wisely. Once you change your Gamertag, it's a good idea to inform your online friends of the change so they can invite you to their next game.
