I am trying to get an og ok. So i go to gamertag editor on the dashboard type in the name and it says "This gamertag already exists" right? But then when i go to add the person that has that name it says " This gamertag does not exist on xbox live."


Why is it doing that?

Could either be banned or a Zune account.

it means there is a copy right issue with the gt or the gamertag is inappropriate.

Gamertags still belong to the person that nay oif changed their GT.

E.g: My old GT was CiviL v
I changed it to Jamstuh

As a joke my friend tried to change his GT and it said it existed, but obviously when he checked it on XBL it said it didn't exist.

Basically, people who had a GT that you searched for, then changed it. That GT still belongs to them. It prevents account fraud etc.

Hope I helped.

Basically, yeah. Once you have a gamertag it always exists on the XBL database, meaning nobody else can have it.

It's because famous youtubers used to change their GT's and then fanboys would copy their old GT's and everyone would give donations etc.

Also Microsoft enjoy boasting about how many users they have.
