If you want to name it..let's just say.."Biff" then you look straight at it, then say to it "Your name is Biff" then call it "Biff" everytime you address it. Eventually it will learn.

Yup, and if that doesn't work, try renting DoA3. That game will rename your xbox (to the name you enter for a hi-score)

Why don't you guys just play games and don't mind on this. You buy a console to play games not playing " Name that machine" on the way. :eek:

The full version of MotoGP will allow you to change your XBox name. Just create a profile in the Grand Prix section and you're set. The on-line version of MotoGP will not do it...again, it must be the full version. It's worth renting it so you can unlock stuff for the on-line version.

Dead or Alive 3 will also allow you. Just beat the Survival Mode and you're set. Just put in your name. Takes about 10 minutes to beat.

Cel Damage is also another one...that is...if you can find it anywhere.

lol...could be worse...it could be "Darling"...That XBox name always cracks me up :D hehe

My first XBox name is "The Bear". Ironically, when I bought my second XBox...the nickname was "The Bear". What are the odds of that?! :watchout:

My first 'Box was "Mopey", my new one is "Hollywood".

Mopey? Darling? No offense but names like that tell me MS has a sense of humour and wants you to buy the games that allow you to change the name.

If my Xbox name was Darling I would get a funny feeling plugging in the controller. "Here you go Darling, was it good for you?" :watchout:

Mine was named 'Pirate', my brother's is 'Butcher' and another buddy's is 'Walla-walla' (I don't know, maybe an Offspring fan in MS). Anyway, after getting RTCW, my Xbox has been renamed to my online profile. I'm not sure when it switched though. Maybe after I beat the game.


Edit: Just saw a post relating to RTCW here (http://www.xboxaddict.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36232)
