To have your own custom soundtrack insert an Audio CD ino the optical drive. From the dashboard access the "Music" menu. Select Music > Audio CD > Copy. Choose the tracks you want to be copied onto the console. Choose "Copy" and Hey-presto, the tracks will be stored onto the consoles hard disk. Now in your game menu load up your songs and you're good to go. :razz: Unlike the original Xbox, most Xbox 360 games support custom soundtrack (i.e play the game to the music you’ve ripped onto the console).

From here you can change your Gamertag. However, doing so will <b>cost 800 Microsoft Points.</b> If you fancy changing your Gamertag to something different then all you have to do is:
