I thought that this question often arises among new users and decided to write such a manual.
So, firstly, I personally registered the Gamer Tag first, and only then added it to the console. I did this so that, having already played and gained a decent (in my case, not very good) Gamerscore, it wouldn’t suddenly become excruciatingly painful because that such a name is already taken on Xbox Live and you will have to come up with some crazy nickname for registration, like “IvanGTP3567” I hope I didn’t offend anyone.
Gamer Tag registration via Xbox.com
1. First, take your existing E-mail and go to the site xbox.com, or rather go here: live.xbox.com, on the right side of the screen there will be a field "E-mail Address", enter your E-mail, press the button " "Sign Up". Congratulations, you have started registering your account!
2. The following page is the main one when registering a Gamer Tag through a browser (via xbox.com)
So, first of all you need to enter:
- Your date of birth (in DD/MM/YYYY format)
- Country (Most best option This United Kingdom/England/, the main thing is not to register for Australia, because... this country has strict restrictions on violence in games and most interesting “meat” content will not be available to you in the Xbox Marketplace.)
- Password (twice, like everywhere else)
- Choose Secret Question and give YOUR answer to it (Remember what you answered, because if you suddenly forget the password to your Xbox Live account, the system will ask you the question you selected during registration, i.e. now, and if you give an answer to it, only that they came up with, they will remind you of the password. For example, I chose the question “Favorite person from history” /Favorite historical figure/ and gave the answer: Stalin /Stalin/.)
- Type the letters appearing in the picture (Capcha, protection against robots.)
- Create and enter a Gamer Tag (Your name in the Xbox Live service. Remember, in the future, if you wish, you can change your Gamer Tag, but only for money (800 points), so take its creation seriously.)
- Select a picture from the list (You can change it later, free of charge)
- Choose a playing area (Then you can change it, free of charge. The gaming zone determines your type of game “Recreation” / Rest / - a game for your own pleasure. “Family” / Family game/ - maximum caesura to protect children. Games for the whole family. "Pro" /Professional zone/ - for hardcore players aimed at winning, "Underground" /Underground, Underground/ - The main motto of the players in this zone is “Take no prisoners!”)
- Enter your email to contact you (It will sometimes receive information about technical work in Xbox Live and the status of your account. I do not recommend checking the “Xbox Insider Newsletter” and “Xbox Partners” checkboxes, because if you install them, you will start receiving advertising mailings from Microsoft and their partners, although maybe you need these newsletters...)
Click "I Accept"
3. On this page you will be congratulated on your completed registration and will be offered:
- Add friends to your contact list
- See what interesting things the "Xbox Marketplace" offers
- Edit information in your account.
- Change subscription type (by default you are given a Silver subscription, with its help you will be able to communicate, download demo versions of games, videos, etc., but you will not be able to play online games, for games you need a Gold subscription, it is paid, with our money about 2000 rubles. per year. Where and how to pay for your account is written at the end of the article.)
Click "Done"
4. A letter will be sent to the email address (E-mail) you specified to confirm your registration, in which there will be two links “CONFIRM ACCOUNT” and “CANCEL ACCOUNT”, you need to confirm your account registration, which means you need to click on the link under the inscription “CONFIRM ACCOUNT ", she is the first in the letter.
5. Registration is complete, you can now log in and edit your personal Xbox Live profile (account).
I advise you to immediately go to the "Contact Information" section.
Enter your first and last name, address, phone number, etc. You can indicate yours or any other, it doesn’t matter, the most important thing is that the country of registration matches (in our case, UK) and the index (Postal Code) belongs to this country.
Remember a company operating in this country (in our case, UK, for example, I remembered that there is such an English company - Swear, which sells shoes), find her address and zip code on Google.com, and now use this information to register.
Click "Save"
At this point, account registration for Xbox Live can be considered complete.
Activation of a created Gamer Tag on the Xbox 360 console
7. You need to turn on the Xbox 360 game console, select “My Xbox” --> “Sign in” --> “Restore Gamertag”. After this, you will be asked to enter your new Gamer Tag, but this may not be easy. As you enter it, you may be informed that this tag does not exist (on this console), no problem, click the “Use Live ID” link, now you will be asked to enter your e-mail and password that you specified before registering gamer tag"a (see P.2), enter them and click “Done.” Now registration is completed, the console will update the settings, and you can proceed to creating your “Avatar” character (your alter ego in the Xbox Live system).
Xbox Live payment cards.
Payment cards for 1, 3, 6 and 12 (13) month(s) of the game can be found in stores selling game consoles, the main thing to remember is if you registered Gamer Tag for Europe, then you NEED to buy a payment card for Europe if you registered for the USA , then a map for the USA, respectively, there are also maps for Australia. All cards are suitable ONLY for their region. Sometimes you can find a “Multi-Region” card on sale; if you come across just such a card, take it calmly.
Payment cards can also be purchased via the Internet, i.e. just buy codes or scanned images of cards. There are a lot of sellers selling cards, but not everyone should be trusted, it can be risky, so I advise you to purchase cards ONLY from trusted stores and sellers, for example from our partner www.webmex.ru (the topic of this store is in our website.)
See you on Xbox Live.
P.S. Free month"Gold subscriptions" can only be obtained if you register an account on Xbox Live directly from the Xbox 360 console itself. If you use the method described above, then this test "Gold subscription" will not be available to you!
Xbox Live is a popular online service with an impressive number of users - several tens of millions of people. Designed by Microsoft specifically for gaming consoles Xbox One and 360, it is also suitable for gaming on the computer. But in the latter case, you need at least version 10 for Windows.
What does Xbox Live give to users?
The service is interesting for fans of joint online online games, in which the number of participants is not unlimited - just over a hundred. In addition to sessions of simultaneous battles with high connection speeds, gamers get the opportunity to:
- voice communication with each other;
- consolidation of achieved results;
- creating an extended profile (Gamertag) with chat;
- use of film and audio libraries, Outlook e-mail;
- purchasing games, as well as using those that are freely available.
Xbox Live comes in two flavors: free (Silver) and paid (Gold).
In the first case, the gamer can use Arcade games, download demo versions, add-ons for games that most often need to be purchased for virtual currency, and communicate with friends. There is Minecraft here, and you can play even without a console. You just need to go through free registration Online.
When you subscribe to XboxLive Gold, you can already play online with other players and earn points that build your reputation as a gamer. Additionally, 2 games are provided for free (but they will become inactive when the subscription ends, which costs more than 400 rubles per month).
Registration procedure
To sign up for subscriptions, you first need to register with Xbox Live: in essence, this is the same as creating an account on a social network. To do this, go to the official website of this server from PC or console. There must be a multi-colored Microsoft icon on the top left of the screen. Click “Login” at the top right or below, under the “Login” picture (under the symbol of a person’s portrait).
We find ourselves on an English-language page. The “Sign in” button means “register” (enter Skype, email, phone). We do not have an account (No account), so click “Create one”.
On the next page we are asked to create an account (“Create account”), asking us to enter our last name, first name, address Email. If there is no mail in Microsoft, then click “Get new address” (“Get a new email address”), that is, we create here a new mail linked to Microsoft.
This is an email like [email protected]. It can be done in advance in live (live.com). But this is optional. So, come up with an address, click “Next”.
Create a password, put a tick in the box where it says “Send me promotional...” - but only if you agree to receive advertising mailings from Microsoft. We confirm your email through your mailbox.
When we register our mail, we will proceed to filling out the account, which will appear after setting a password and confirming the address. It requires first name, last name, repeat password (from 8 characters, including capital letters), date of birth, gender, phone number, captcha symbols. We select the “username” (that is, nickname) as an e-mail address. Click “Create an account” and confirm your email. The created profile can be changed if desired. Binding bank card to your account will give you the opportunity to buy local game currency online.
Registration is not required if you have accounts in Skype, MNS, Office 360 and other Microsoft products.
After registering your account, connect the console. To do this we take several steps:
- connect the console to the Internet;
- On the central key, click “Join Live”;
- log in (enter your username and password for the account you just created on Xbox Live);
- decide on a subscription (Silver, Gold) - if necessary, buy a code.
Xbox Live also offers mobile app For Windows Mobile, iOS, although not all Android tablets may support it.
So, Xbox Live allows you to download paid games to your console, and if you subscribe to Gold, you can participate in collective battles and competitions. Registration involves creating an account linked to Microsoft.
