1 ReplyIt should be like steam. You have a username but you can change your display name.

yeah its like EA level greedy
-
I imagine it is to reduce the amount of people that change their names in order to avoid a server crash or cause a problem in leaderboards due to a lot of users changing their name constantly. Otherhan that, I can't think of ither legitimate reasons.

Steam does it for free

Behind the scenes it's more complicated. When Xbox Live first came out you couldn't change it at all, so when the 360 came out, they thought: "Alright we'll let em change their GTs but they'll have to pay each time."
-
It probably has to do with updating a bunch of shit and stuff I don't really understand. In all honestly they should just make you set a username and let you change your display name, like Steam.

6 RepliesSee my point? OT, first time is free. Every time after that you pay. But at least you can. Unlike PSN.

It's Micro$oft. What do you expect them to do, NOT charge for something that should be free? Please, don't be ridiculous.

5 RepliesSo what.. Keeps people from constantly changing there name, if it was free people would be changing there name every month. I don't care much for name changing. Not a big deal.

Edited by Enlightened One: 11/2/2013 11:20:11 PMSo people are not changing their names on a daily basis to avoid bans from people who record them breaking the rules? Only legit reason I can think of.

Because they're greedy.
