I almost shit my pants today.

Just a few hours ago I went to play some BlazBlue.  Right when the game started, my Xbox turned off.  When I turned my Xbox back on, I discovered that my Xbox 360 profile got corrupt.  At first I didn't believe it and almost shit my pants but, then I remembered "Recover Gamertag."  I'm very thankful for this feature and if I recall, PS3 doesn't have something like this but I could be wrong.  Anyways, I'm so glad that I didn't lose everything.  I have no idea what I would have done if I had to re-play every Xbox game that I own to get my Gamerscore back up.

Haha, that would suck if your gamerscore suddenly just went down to 0 and you couldn't recover your tag. Then you would have actually have shit your pants.

PS3 has the same thing, your account is tied to an online account for both PSN and xbox live; unless you never connected it to the internet, deleting your account off your harddrive does not erase it's existence.  You won't get your game saves and stuff back though.

That's good to hear that PS3 does have that.

It would take way to long to build my Gamerscore back up.  I have like 50+ games.

It's a great feature that I wish services like iTunes would use.

Yeah that recover gamertag feature is pretty sweet. It saved my life once, now we're living happily with three children. On a serious note though, I wish I could remove the games that people just played on my xbox for one day. It's pretty annoying to shift through sometimes.

Last time I recovered my gamertag it took more than an hour.  Could have been several hours, it was nowhere near done after a single hour, left it on, went to sleep, when I checked in the morning it was already done.

He was being sarcastic. He was commenting on the fact that it would be TOTALLY ridiculous for you to play all of your games over, just to bring back up an insignificant number.

You can. It was one of the new features with the new dashboard update.

I once shit my pants when I was 7 or 8. I walked up my house stairs with some dribbling down my leg.


Worst day ever.

it sucks when ur data gets deleted. it has happened to me, my hard drive broke. i had to get a new one from microsoft. i had to start every game that i have. so far i've only beaten forza 2 and crackdown. some of the games i don't feel like beating because i already did that with cod 4 and halo 3.

ps3 has an account recovery. it's just like xbox 360. it's hard to find in ps3. i had an account on my friend's ps3, i just got a ps3 so i had to find it.

I like the totally unnecessary "PS3 doesn't have something like this". Online accounts aren't saved to the hard drive, that's how you can access them from any console.
