One of the most popular elements of the Xbox 360 gaming system is the ability to play video games with or against other players at different locations, via the Internet. As a means of identifying each player, users must create a personalized screen name, referred to on Microsoft Live as a "gamertag." You can perform a search to find out if a particular gamertag is available.
