Major - Can you address any issue about some of us loosing all of our game saves upon using the Account Recovery option? I know that I am not the only one that was affected (effected?) by this. I have used Account Recovery several times previously and I never had any problems.

I lost hundreds of hours of game saves. I have to start over from scratch on all of my games and I as you might have guessed I am a little upset about this. I am pretty sure that there is nothing that can be done to recover my data, but I would appreciate it if you could let me know that it is an issue that you are looking into, and additionally what I/we need to do in the future to avoid loosing our data.

Before everyone goes and fills this post up with negative comments, I want to take this opportunity to say look at the "Xbox Numbers" post. The Live team is dealing with an astronomical amount of customers. I have been a member of Live for quite some time. I have friends who beta tested the service. This is the FIRST time Live has had a SERIOUS issue that has effected so many. Give MN a chance to put a blogcast together with e, and I am sure they will tell us everything they can. Look at majors twitter.....8:30 on the west coast and he is still at work. Enough is enough. Cut the dude some slack. It's not "Xbox Live brought to you by Major Nelson".

Major....on behalf of the adult gamers, Thanks......

Somewhat unrelated (I don't get this error), but why can't I change the country of residence on those pages? It's very frustrating because I can't even watch movie trailers, let alone movies (incorrect region error). Thanks in advance!

The problem I'm having is that I needed to delete my profile and recover it later because of a problem I was having with arcade games and now it won't let me recover my gamer tag. (sigh)

Thanks Major. I was actually having a problem with this, but hadn't gotten around to phoning support.

Why do you always have to enter credit card info ? Why do you have to enter it to promote a child account ? I thought this was done away with when the 360/XBLGold came out .

Sorry to say this , but it seems like a nice way to get people to renew without realizing it . I know you get an e-mail 1 month before your subscription expires but why go back to the required credit card method ?
