How do I uncancel an Xbox Live account?

I am trying to re-enable a cancelled Xbox Live account. I've tried on both my Xbox and my 360 and neither appears to want to let me. Surely I don't have to create a new ID after a month off?

When I cancelled my trial account, they told me specifically that it cannot be re-subscribed (i.e. keep my old ID). Sucks.

Yep. I just got that info from about ten web sites too. Assholes. I also can't believe some of the stuff that is already in use. Who is fucked up enough to think of YoshiWanKenobi besides me?

I think that's a blessing in disguise, you not being able to pick it, that is.

I went with a Latin name that use I in MMOs. I knew that fucker wouldn't be taken. Mustum Arden... it's actually where the word "mustard" came from, and I love me some mustard. :D

I recently was told in a game of BF2, after I berated a guy for TKing, that my name is "gay as fuck". His name was Killa187.

Why would you get pissed off when someone TKs you? Its as part of BF2 as helicopters. Just punish them and be done with it.

noob.

The more cancelled accounts, the more Xbox Live users they can brag about. Even if it's really just 20,000 people with multiple accounts.

I went through the whole ordeal a year ago trying to get "Salohcin Geen" back as my Xbox Live name with no luck too. Hence Geen82, which is fine, since I've been using that for a shit load of time too.

I'm still shocked that other people have "Geen." What the hell?

Well, the mental lapse that made me not think of my new GamerTag cost me 800c. All's well that ends well though. :D

Yes and no. Half of it was that I was pissed at myself for not thinking of that before. I could live with whatever, but since I was three days or whatever in, I figured there was no time like the present.
