I set up a site on GameWith.Us for us NS players: <a href="http://ns.gamewith.us/" target="_blank">http://ns.gamewith.us/</a>
What is GameWith.Us? It's a way for smaller communities (like us) to trade 360 GamerTags, Wii codes, and they're adding more stuff. You can join the NS group and see a Google Map of other NS players. There's also place to list everyone in the group's 360 GamerTag, DS code, or Wii code. They'll probably add PS3 friend code stuffs as that gets popular as well.
For 360 games you can even mark which ones you have, so you can not only find other 360 owners in the 360 community, but also ones available to play over Xbox Live. For example, you can browse through the games and click Gears of War, and it shows a list of everybody registered (in the NS group) + their gamertag that says they own the game.
This will be a lot easier to manage than several threads we have to continuously bump and update, especially if a certain awesome canadian moderator deems this stickyworthy. The interface can take some getting used to (use the links at the top to get to different sections) but aside from that it's really slick.

Had to completely log out and re-login, then go for it again. Yeesh. Doesn't feel together on that site at all. Will be more convenient though.
gamewith.us is cool. You should all sign up, even if the site is still beta and stuff.
(Not a shill :S)

Nice.

P.S "Hi folks!"
Also, I added myself. Is it OK if I add you lot to my Xbox Live friends list? It's awfully empty right now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
I'd join up, but as I own neither a 360 or a Wii.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

Join anyway. Or I'll kill you.
Oh, and if you go to the Game Finder thing you can put other stuff, like BF2142 or Guild Wars, or a ton of other contact information stuff.

It's more than just a wii / 360 site though. There are lists for Steam, MSN, hell even digg and wallop accounts on there. It's like a huge gamer social networking site.
oh shi, I guess I'm shilling again. Not that I have anything to do with its development. But 1858 shackers can't be wrong!
Holy crap, I just realized that you can add people to your 360 Friends list directly from that site. As in, the actual system. As in, it hits MS's site and makes the friend request for you if you're logged in and whatnot.
Nice.

Where the hell did you find that? Can't find it for looking myself. I'm probably in the wrong area...
I refuse to buy anything MS <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Though I'm rather tempted to get a Wii

The UI seems a bit confusing, the only way I've found is to enter the 360 Gamertags area and click a game, although then you only see the tags of those who own that game. Is there any easier way to do it, and maybe see the tags of everybody in the group at the same time?

Oh, just buy a 360 for the Live arcade, classics getting released on there, they've just added Ultimate MK3, they've already got such wonders as Gauntlet, Street Fighter 2, and Smash TV. Just buy it for those <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
And ahh, I found what you're on about Zupico, it's the jigsaw piece-come-plus sign next to the tags in the game pages...
i got a DS, i own <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

When you click on an individual game there's this icon: <img src="http://www.gamewith.us/360/img/icon-friend-request.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
Clicking on it sends you to xbox.com where if you're logged in (same user/password as on your 360) it autosends a friend request.

I e-mailed the author last night, and he told me a way see all 360 gamer tags for the entire group:
Click <b>Game Finder</b> then <b>X-box Live</b>. Also there's a PS3, Wii, and Steam ID sections in the same area. Unfortunately you can't add 360 friends straight from this page yet.
Quick link for the lazy: <a href="http://ns.gamewith.us/finder/xbox-live/" target="_blank">http://ns.gamewith.us/finder/xbox-live/</a>
Although my Wii won't be here for a bit, and I cba setting my DS up for internets play.
EDIT: Guys, you cant just show your Friends name on the steam list, it's impossible to add someone using their nick.
You need to enter the account name (like how mine is geminosity@hotmail.com)
Don't email that addy though as it'll probably just bounce; I've not used my hotmail account in forever :p
