Re: Xbox Live Question

You can upgrade your account to Xbox Live account and keep gamerscore in some cases (did it for my little cousin on Sunday). However sometimes it isnt possible either (i had to start again with mine). So its possible and you should try it when you apply for live.

Just to add: You might be eligible for one month free Xbox LIVE gold any way. To my understanding, all Xbox 360s allow the first 5 created profiles to have one free month of Xbox LIVE. I mean, if you're not worried about Gamerscore, you could just create a new profile each month for 5 months and not have to pay a penny for gold until that final month is over. That's what a few of the people on my friends list do.

Re: Xbox Live Question

Yes, you will be able to use your existing profile and you will keep all the achievements. I think the only issues that might prevent it is if the profile name you used is already in use as someone else's gamertag. But I would expect that they would give you the option to change it.
