Nearly 1 Million Previously Used Gamertags Being Recycled May 18th.

The tags will be freed up beginning at 2PM Eastern and released over a 24 hour period in order to give eveyrone a chance to claim them. These are all tags dating back to the original Xbox era which were not carried over to the Xbox 360, so it’s been a while. That’s a pretty decent accomplishment on Microsoft’s parts, all the while Sony still can’t figure out how to let you change your PSN ID….lmao. Some of the tags will include the following items, although Microsoft won’t let you know the exact tags prior to release. Take a look and let us know what you think below.

• Proper names
• Pop culture references (entertainment, sports, gaming)
• Types of food
• Geography and travel
• Science and technology
• Math and numbers
• Animals
• Some of the greatest inventions of all time
