How about we have a user gamertag list stickied here?

I'd start things off but I've not gone Gold since my free 3 months died - but will do soon, and then I'll want to start adding y'all.... so if anyone wants to propose a format for the list (because of the different consoles etc) here - then when it's agreed on, whoever frequents this section the most "should" volunteer to maintain a stickied post (like Ewan does with the Rogues Gallery)....

As in free only for this weekend? Or free forever if I sign up? If the weather's crappy I may jump on - but there's a ban on buying SF4 for another 19 days. :x

At the risk of sounding like a noob, what's a gamertag listing? Some sort of list of usernames for online gaming?

in a nutshell... yes...

the problem is there's multiple things to have names for... XBox Live... Playstation Network... Xfire... Steam... it's hard to keep track...

Hence why I'm thinking a forum list to be sticked could be a good idea...

Something like:

    snowyweston = snowywestion (360) | felchaladi (Steam)

or

    Username | 360 | PS3 | Steam

    snowyweston | snowywestion | n/a | felchaladi

Wouldn't posting your usernames make it easier for people/bots to hack your Steam (etc) accounts?

It's not a concern I've seen ever raised in "what's your gamertag" threads over at talk audio - but then I'm not a regular gamer by any means - nor wise in the world of hacking skullduggery so can't really say for sure.

I like this one, but how about a combination of the two; like:

    snowyweston = snowywestion (360) | felchaladi (Steam)

Definatly like the idea though Snowy. :)
