FYI, I went through joining Live on my brothers console tonight and it will throw random names at you during the Gamertag creation process. You could just sit there refreshing it till you found one you like

Thanks for the namechange.

I've done that sort of thing with names before and either I'll find one or I'll get bored and try again later. Hopefully it'll be better than some of the other suggestions I've had from similar systems.

I assume the dash update will happen after I sign-up. I don't want to get too used to the blades as I know they're gone now.

And finally, any pointers for places offering cheap points gratefully received. Reckon I'll probably need 2x 2100 in fairly short order.

The dash update will happen as soon as you touch the live servers - you could just hit test live connection and it will ask you

Cool. Will go dig the cable out the box and rig something up to do that. Thanks.

All done. I can now haz avatars (something else I now have to do, though that might be a little easier than a name ). Even poked a hole through the router so that online play will work when I get around to that.

Current name thinking is something Vulcan-sounding. Seems to fit nicely given how easily I deal with logic and how hard I find names.

Worth queuing if you're picking up 4 or 5 of them.
