maybe it's not allowed to use brandmarked terms there for legal reasons, and they added Bitcoin recently.  Smiley

They'll take it as some type of undiscovered drug, lol.

I don't know about that. One of the reasons I took my business to sony is because of their unhelpful support and rudeness.

I had an X360, but I sold it after 6 months Tongue. I only bought it for Gears of War.

Same here. I only bought it for the exclusive games.

Has anyone contacting Microsoft and got a reply? (I doubt it, normally takes around 2 weeks). I'm trying to think why they would disallow it. It's pretty stupid. I don't think it's to do with copyrighted names etc. As I have seen a lot of company names as gamertags.
