I got locked out of my Xbox live account for like 5-8 years with no way to recover it because my @live email was not my main email and their recovery process asked for emails you may have been sent.
I somehow ended up having a temporary email attached to it that came with a game server hosting site that I no longer had. When I found this out I resubbed to that service and hoped i could get the same email address and I did and was finally able to get back in.
By then though I had moved to the PS3 and have stuck with Sony since (for consoles). But getting my Xbox account back allowed me to redownload all of my rock band 3 dlc again.
