i have never been on live with my main profile.

Isn't it possible to go online with your dial-up, use it as the host for internet sharing and then run it to your 360 via ethernet?

you have never had dial-up have you? the amount of time it takes to download anything is ridiculus.

I have, but I'm just suggesting that to get your gamertag online for backup.

Here try this:

"M8 its BG i worked out a cure on my own.....take off your harddrive and turn on ya console.... go to the games blade and go to the top where it says creat profil......click on itt....then click continue twice....then while the console is still on........ put on the driveee.......bro youll be happy u gotta email this to EVERYONE"

does this work? if so it is still pretty late.  

I remember when my dog chewed my GameCube memory card with every game save on it besides Melee and Animal Crossing. Suffice to say that I was a little steamed when it happened.

But something happened that I did not foresee... going back and playing all of those great games again was a blast. And now that I knew the ins and outs of those games, going through them was a breeze. Going back and beating Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Sunshine... it was a lot of fun.

I guess my point is this: I hope you can find the fun again while replaying these games. Good luck!
