We've seen some early concepts of the new profile system, and they slightly reminisce of a modernized version of the old MSN profiles from back in the day, complete with your activity feed, and the ability to include statistics from other platforms, including PlayStation, Nintendo, and PC games. In addition to the new Gamertags, Xbox Live profiles are also getting an overhaul. Changing your Gamertag will still require a $10 payment, to keep people from frequently switching their identifier. The system will also accommodate new languages as a result, for non-Latin alphabet character types.
