    From: Major Nelson's blog.

    Sufficed to say I am very excited about this. I've wanted "Katanga" as a gamer tag for a LONG time, and now i get the chance.

    If you want to check if the gamer tag you want has been revived:
    Follow this link (Replace "GAMERTAG" with what you want)

    Or Guy.

    Or Buddy.

    Accounts that haven't been used in years are going to be deleted?

    Or they might have their gamertags changed/ removed, rather than deleting the profile

    You have to have at least 3 letters in your gamertag, right?

    A very little bit more inforomation;

    According to the comments below the article, Major Nelson is talking about it on his podcast. At least, I assume it's his. I don't follow him to be honest. Hopefully by the time that airs, we'll have a bit more information about the specifics of what counts as a "Dead Gamertag", and the time-scale they plan to revive the gametags in.

    Until then, I'll just hit F5 on KATANGA's gamercard until it vanishes.

    If It's a blank page just saying the GT, but there is no avatar person or bio info does that mean it is not taken?

    Oh hell yeah.

    Since I joined xbox live the GT Neoshadow has been taken, and it too was a dead gamertag used on the original xbox. I probably should have kept those MS points....

    I believe it is a parked gamertag if it has no info. Usually means they haven't logged in in a while. I was wanting the GT God, but apparently Jester the modder owns it :/ Jesus is also taken

    I think if it says "Oops what happened to this page" means that it is available. As long as you aint typing some stupid **** in the url..

    Yes, but that was when there was no minimum gamertag enforcement.

    I've got my mind on one, but it still isn't available yet. Plus I kind of like Grifachu, it's the most original gamertag I've had. All my others had numbers or stupid "XI" stuff. And AViTRiD was dumb. I could always change it to Ira Glass though...
