Halp with 360.

[Bunnykillah]

So I just got a 360 last week and made an offline profile and started saving my games to that. Couple days ago I activated my free month of gold membership or whatever and had to make a xbox live profile. Now I have an offline profile with all my saved games and an online profile that I cant play my saved games on. Is there any way to merge these 2 profiles? I found this article from the xbox website but I cant make heads or tails of it:

Xbox.com | Xbox 360 - Support - Merge an Offline Gamer Profile with an Xbox Live Gamer Card

Can anyone give a better explanation of how to do this. I'm still pretty noobish with the 360.
Thanks!

Not sure... but did you do this?

and who created a gamer card at Xbox.com before joining Xbox Live.

Because it SOUNDS like you had to have done that or this 'fix' will not work? I have never had to deal with this particular problem but i will look around for info as well.

Why didn't you just activate your gold on that same gamertag?

Yeah you have to use the same name.
