Jul 25, 2015 at 14:11 comment added Jeeva Hi @game-on-asus - I see from the URL that it has redirected you to language "lt-LT". Based on a quick Google, that looks like it might be Lithuanian. Lithuania isn't a supported country for Xbox Live etc, (though obviously this is on PC), it seems to me that it might be affecting your ability to log in on Xbox.com. If I'm wrong, please let me know. You may need to contact Support in order to change this. xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251649-memberships-accounts/… xbox.com/en-gb/live/countries

Jul 25, 2015 at 11:47 comment added game-on-asus @Jeeva Uh oh... that should not have happened. It appears you have found a glitch in the system. Please try again later. i clicked and error what i can do!?
Jul 25, 2015 at 10:12 comment added user106385 it does, in fact, state directly above that "your first is free". I assume this applys to people that had to generate an ID because their requested ID was taken. I commonly go by the username "Gnemlock", so this is never a problem for me :P I deleted my comment saying it worked for me, as I found out after that it had not. sorry for any confusion
Jul 25, 2015 at 10:09 comment added Jeeva I believe you've removed the comment where you said that. Continuity errors! I suspect that contacting support will sort it, assuming you're both right in thinking that you've not done it before (given the documented "is free for x" stuff) - if you actually wanted to go through with it. Did you not change tag, then, @Timelord64?
Jul 25, 2015 at 10:04 comment added user106385 Confirming that it did try to charge me. Naturally, I wasn't stupid enough to click "purchase" without looking at the cost. But as I said, I was never given an automated username.
Jul 25, 2015 at 10:02 comment added TZHX Well, when I changed my gamertag it charged me, despite having not changed it before and the screen looking exactly as your picture. That's what I meant.
Jul 25, 2015 at 10:00 comment added Jeeva Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what @TZHX means? It's supported behavior, etc.

Jul 25, 2015 at 9:59 comment added user106385 I would recommend adding, just above the image, "this is what you will see if you log in in america, but the site may look differant in differant regions", or something of that like.
Jul 25, 2015 at 9:58 comment added Jeeva I can't decide if it's better to have a possibly unreliable image, or to have no image. Could remove it? @Timelord64
Jul 25, 2015 at 9:56 comment added user106385 Don't rely entirely on the image, either. The site you go to depends on your region, and may look different.
Jul 25, 2015 at 9:54 comment added user106385 Also note that you can set a "real name", where you put a different name (intended to be your actual name) for friends to see you as.
