How I got this problem is as follows:
1) I created an Xbox Live Gamertag on the original Xbox - this is associated with the Live ID XXXX@hotmail.com
2) A few years later when the 360 is out I registered a Silver Gamertag on Xbox.com and associated it to the Live ID XXXX@hotmail.com without any problems.
As the account created in step 2) is only a silver account and I obviously want to use my gold account that I've had since step 1) what do you think my options are?
Can MS unassociate the second gamertag from the Live ID?
I'm yet to migrate the account from step 1) to my 360 but have a horrible feeling it will fail due to the gamertag from step 2)...
