Xbox Live is impossible to sign into.

This is driving me crazy!

Trying to sign into xbox live to use the free 1 month gold account that came with box for the first time. Although it's not the first time, it's about the 100th time becuse it won't let me get past the funking Windows Live ID bo**ocks.

So first time I did it, I filled everything in and got to what looked like the last stage and it said 'it's not availible at the time try again later' or something, so everything I had spent 20 minutes entering had gone! So I tried again had to type everything back in and then when I put my e-mail adress in it says it's already used by an xbox live account (probably the one they shut me out of a few minutes ago). So then I try to make up a new Windows Live ID, some made up e-mail address but then it still comes up and says 'The e-mail address you've entered is already a Windows Live ID. Do you want to use this Windows Live ID with your Xbox Live account?'

Yes or No, it won't let you say no so when I say yes it says 'The e-mail address or password you've entered is not valid. Please try again'.

So I try again with my actually e-mail address and password and it says 'This windoes Live ID is already linked to an Xbox Live Account. Please use a different Windows Live ID' help me.

Re: Xbox Live is impossible to sign into.

Tried to find the gamer tag and it says 'sign up to xbox live is currently unavailible try again later' why does it say that, why is everything so hard?

Re: Xbox Live is impossible to sign into.

Try creating another hotmail account and re-entering new pass word and details. Have a look on the link below for any help.

Re: Xbox Live is impossible to sign into.

Thanks for replying I think I'm going to have to do that. But I've already entered the subscription code for the free month will I lose that now?
