In honor of Xbox Live is 5, I wanted to repost an old trick that I discovered…

Did you ever want to know how many messages you have received on Xbox Live? I mean ever, like from the beginning, from the Beta period all the way to this very minute. Well, I have a nice and easy trick for you to quickly find out…

I call this trick… “The Xbox Live Message Trick.” Creative, I know!

1. Visit Xbox.com and click on My Xbox on the top right. [Make sure you are signed in]

2. Click “View Messages” and click on your most recent message.

3. Finally, take a look at the URL, and it should look like…

“http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/MessageCenter/ViewMessage.aspx?mx=6319“

MX represents the number, so mine would be 6,319 messages.

How many have you received?
