Xbox 360 production
A design flaw in the Xbox Live system, that deletes Gamertags, is being investigated by Microsoft. The flaw has left some Gamers with no choice but to start afresh with a new Gamertag, losing all their Xbox Live points and achievements.

The problem, which manifests itself with the error code ’8015d080′,  effects certain Xbox Live Gold accounts that are linked to a windows live email address that is set to expire after a certain period of inactivity, e.g Hotmail.

But fear not, there is a cure… setup a new Gamertag using a different email address… great!
