Before you ask, yes I just bought my 360 yesterday, so I'm technically a ''noob'' to this console. I'll explain my problem now step by step.

I made an offline profile first because I didn't have a good connection in order to enter Live. (Its fixed and I can now enter perfectly). But my main problem now is when I want to recover my gamertag, it asks me for the email and password for my Windows Live ID. I typed my email and password and click sign in. Note that the email adress I'm using is the same I use for MSN and my emails (.......hotmail.com) But then this pop-up appeared.

''This Windows Live ID is not associated with your gamertag''

I honestly don't know what it means. How do you make your ID associate with your gamertag? Do I have to make an account at Xbox.com? Or does it mean that my email is not valid? What EXACTLY do I have to do?

I'll make edits to this in case theres some important things I forgot to mention. So please help if you can. I also made this a forum post so I can have more responses.

Phantom suddenly decides to return for a while...So, I know, its been a while. For some reason, I became hopelessly lazy and started to enjoy my summer without writing any stuff. I figured since the big E3 is coming up soon, I might as well make a temporary return and enjoy talking about even more games with close friends. This doesn't mean I'll be as active as I said I will be. Gamespot has taken a bore on me, and since I might be getting my new 360 this week, I'll be practically dead here.

Also, I give thanks to my friend ChaosRyder665 for the new awesome profile. Hes a great friend and trustworthy, so I'm looking forward to enjoying E3 with him, its gonna be hilarious. Anyways, yes, its The World Ends With You. This is truly one of the best games I've ever played and I recommend it to you. I'm a big fan of the game's music too.

Anyways, on the 360 news, I ''might'' be getting it tonight. With what game you ask? Well its between:

VS

I really don't know which game I'm getting first, and I'm having a really tough time trying to decide. I was going to get Halo first, but the GTAIV commercial keeps appearing in my TV and its driving me crazy. So basicaly, I'm stumped. If you like to give me any recommendations to each game, then I'll have less of a hard time deciding

Thats basically all my updates, and I'll see you guys at this next E3

summer phantom out!

As of now, my summer vacation begins! Most of my new friends will probably don't know about my story, but when I first logged in on Gamespot (which was February of last year), I only created my profile just for fun, and I was addicted into raising my level, and just right after finishing the 9th grade on May, I dedicated all my summer vacation fun on GS (when activity was still booming). I loved making daily blogs and always chatted with a certain friend (ya know who you are) and I enjoyed every minute of it. I knew that school was gonna cut severely my GS time and that has caused really long periods of inactivity on my end. I'm really looking forward to experience that same ''rush'' that I haved on my last summer vacation enjoying GS (which I know its gonna be different anyway).

I spent these last weeks finishing up my midterms and surprise quizzes (oh joy) and studying like hell for my finals (which were somewhat easy this year). I know that really big changes are about to happen in my life soon, such as getting my driver's license, improving my social life, and start thinking of my future carreers and about my future here on GS. I have my reasons, but lets not think about that for a while. Point is, I hate changes, but I have no choice but to go with the flow and fall through and see what happens.

Its hard to believe how fast the tenth grade went by, and in only 2 months, I'm a junior! Woah, crisis. I'm proud to say that the tenth year was a really good year - made improvements on my social life, realized how much my family loves me, and how much they want to see me receiving my diploma and constructing a better future for my loved ones. This summer I'll experience the next step I'm taking forward in my teenage life and I pray to God it will be an acceptable one.

But besides all this, I'm still keeping my gaming life as big as ever. Witch getting an Xbox 360 in a few weeks is one of my biggest summer achievements Also getting lots of games (I know I won't have lots like I said, but who knows?). Also on my side, I don't got a single HD-TV in my house, not even my large plasma on one of the bedrooms has HD. So in the future, if I want good looking graphics, I gotta get one then. I'm still wondering about if the big M will release a Blu-Ray 360.

Uptil then, I got my little Wii sitting next to me in order to enjoy these last few weeks before the Xbox. Remember, I'll be active as ever (mainly I'll be here everyday) so send me a PM if you like to have some matches on MKWii, SSBB and GH3. I'm enjoying my handheld systems, both PSP and DS, with Crisis Core and Phantom Hourglass right now. During the school year, I mostly played and started over random games, but I never finished them, like the next day I lost the will to continue and started over another game. So I'm willing to correct that this summer and finished every one of them. Looks like I got my hands full for a while, but at least I'll enjoy it.

Don't know if you noticed, but my profile is out of date, meaning its getting old, so I'm looking for a brighter, more summery theme(did that even make sense?), to welcome my summer vacation. Anyways, if an art pro just happens to walk by and read this, call me lol. Or I'll just crawl through the depths of GS and look for you then.

I appreciate you all taking your time to read this and hoped you keep enjoying my blogs. Enjoy your summer everyone

I now pronounce Grand Theft Auto IV the fifth game in GS that receives a perfect score. And I gotta say, its a 10 well deserved.

can't write much...too shocked for words....

-phantom4567

I had a feeling that after my last update of Crisis Core, I was getting closer and closer to the conclusion. This time, it felt wrong to be right. Oh don't get me wrong, the game was awesome. Although I never got used to the frequent use of luck in order to do Summons, Limit Breaks and leveling up. But never mind the gameplay. The story is what captivated me all the time playing Crisis Core. This is INDEED one of Square Enix's best stories. What happens at the end is just...lets just say heartbreaking. And it finally made me understand Cloud's true legacy and how he started. Once again, I'm gonna post a spoiler vid. This time, the ending, which is of course a MEGA SPOILER, so whatch at own risk.

Sad feelings aside. Crisis Core is definitely a must-have for every PSP owner, fans and non-fans alike It makes me hapy that I got the chance to play a game such as this.

On other Square-Enix related news:

It's a Wonderful World (The Worlds Ends with You) for the DS received a 9.0 from Gamespot.

(Pic came out wrong) Definitely adding the game to my top must-buy
