Why would you want to do that? We’re glad you asked. Here areour top reasons to link your Gamertag:
It Doesn’t Suck All right, the process of linking probably isn’t going to end up on the highlight reel of your all-time greatest moments. But it’s pretty painless and should be smooth as butter if you have the info you need in front of you when you start. You’ll need the same information that you used to sign up for your Xbox Liveaccount: “real” name, ZIP code, phone number, and the last four digits of your credit card number. You can get all this from the Xbox Dashboard if you can’t remember it. We’re not asking for any new information, just verifying that you are who you say you are—otherwise, everyone might claim to be two-time tourney champhockeystud29!
Keep Your Friends Close Let’s not kid ourselves, the reason online gaming kicks so much ass is that you get to play against real people instead of A.I. But, you already know that. What rocks about the new xbox.com/live site is that—if you’ve linked your Gamertag—you’re able to see your Friends List right there on your PC. You’ll get all the same information you’d get in the Xbox Dashboard: which Friends are online, what games they’re playing. It’s a great way to keep in touch with your gaming buddies.
