Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're, uh... Super-Mega-Ultra Lightning Babe, that's all right with me.

Origin didn't exist when I created my BSN ID and the for forerunner (EADM) I just happened to have a different username on - as I use at least 3 regularly. When Origin took over the BSN it imported my EADN ID to log in but kept my BSN ID ... I can live with that.

OP, just wait until you start noticing people on your friends list changing gamertags, and you can't figure out who they used to be.

BSN ID != OID for me, because apparently ST already existed as an OID, possibly created by self when messing around trying to create both (got ME2 via Steam during a '13 sale, then picked up a couple of DLC from Bioware, then ME3 via Origin). So for OID I picked the substantially less bizarre but still odd "SpitefulLlama".

I made my psn ID years ago over a dumb joke.* I outgrew it and eventually made a new one. PSN doesn't allow you to transfer trophies/game data, so I was stuck with both BrokeStonerChick and KikoChuN7. I decided to keep using the one with most data (BSC).

*I assure you that I am not broke nor a stoner. My gender is questionable though.

Do to an elaborate set of circumstance, my name was taken because I used it on an account I couldn't use and refused to be deleted, so ya. Guess how I was feeling when I had to pick a different name for my account.

huh didn't know you were a BSNer Mandalorian. On Xbox my name used to be ArenthianSniper but I joined a clan now that clan is dead so I will change it back shortly. However on PS3 and Steam/Origin I use the same name as my BSN so go figure.

I would adjust my BSN to match my OID if I knew how. Don't mind a little anonymity though.

The main reason I am not xThe Free Agent is because i created this before i realized anyone would care what my forum name was and that it actually mattered. This profile has my info linked so you can check out my awesomeness. My Tag is below if you actually care who i am. The anonymity was nice at first however... now not so much...

Was quite drunk when making this one up (seemed like a good name at the time - lol)

Not intentional with different names. I have nothing to hide about my playing skills which are BSN mediocre at best (on a good day) I believe :-)

Would change it it into my xbl name (BioticPulse) if Iknew how (i don't) :-/

I'm also pretty sure that if I ever got another xbox my GT wasn't set to Cyonan when my 360 decided it preferred the life of a brick rather than a gaming console.


LOL. What a piece of trash, absolute garbage, I wouldn't even use it as a brick, it's completely useless. I'm thinking I might empty out its contents and use it as a bucket.

Here is my sad story. My original Gamertag was indeed just 'Beerfish' However when creating it I was in a rush and for date of birth I accidentally entered the current day rather than my birthday. thus XBox thought I was only a few days old and would not let me do anything with my account due to some kind of parental lock out thing. I tried to go and edit out this error but it allowed me to change just about every thing except the birth date. I found out I was going to have to all in to XBox or something to make a change so in frustration I just made another gamertag 'Beerfish77'

to this day Beerfish lays....hardly used,,,,in moth balls....


Somewhat similar story here, but in reverse. I signed up as DragonRacer13 here at BSN, which matches my gaming ID perfectly. But it was with an email address that later became obsolete (and wasn't the email address that is now forever linked with EA or whatever). And at the time (and may still be true), you couldn't change the email address your BSN log-in was associated with. Once I wanted to start linking games to BSN so I could post in certain forums, track DLC, etc, it quickly became clear that not signing up for BSN with my actual email used for gaming IDs was a giant mistake.

So, I abandoned that name and re-registered under DragonRacer, with the right email address to use, linked all my BioWare games, etc. And have been using this one ever since.

However, it's close enough that the 13 is unnecessary. Folks recognize me in-lobby since there don't seem to be any other DragonRacers running around at the moment. LOL

On topic, all mine are the same (GT, BSN, PSN).

because phoenixUK is the username i use for a lot of internet stuff but it was already taken on xbox live. So I went for something else. I wish I had used daxamite as my username because phoenix is was too common and popular.

Because I couldn't use my real name(Justin Bieber) or else everyone would know who I am, it was a matter of privacy.

lol!  I meant the other way around.  I don't like this forum name anymore.
