Digg - Xbox Live Issue: I'm An Adult Stuck On a Child Account

Anyone under the age of 18 who originally signed up for Xbox Live is STILL considered a child even after they have passed the age of 18. Thus being an adult. I myself pay for my own Xbox Live account and I'm 19 years old. I would also like to keep my gamertag and not make another like what customer support tells us. With a child account there are limitations. You can not view dashboard ads, featured downloads, or use MSN messenger.

This also effects users on child accounts with the freinds of freinds feature. You can not allow you freinds to view your freinds if you are on a child account.

If this issue affects you and you want microsoft to take more notice it is a topic on Digg so if you could please digg it from the link above

Oh ****. If this is true I'm screwed...

Call 1-800-4MYXBOX before flying off the handle. Complaining before you've given MS a chance to address the issue is ridiculous.

Well that's bull**** then

Yeah I'll be 18 in like 8 months and I don't want to lose my 20k achievement points or any of my save games just to get an adult account. Though I really wish I had the windows live messenger thing because I have quite a few xbox live clan buddies on my windows live messenger list!

sportscrazed2 · 26-11-2007, 05:48 PM

i created my account when i was already 18 that means ive got an adult account right?

Kona Palangi · 26-11-2007, 06:02 PM

If 18 is considered adulthood then yes.

Spartan1127 · 26-11-2007, 11:38 PM

But if you live in europe and have a US account, if you get the RROD, can you send the console back to MS?

IIJoshIII · 26-11-2007, 11:49 PM

Completely off-topic lol. ^^^ -.-

Joel changed edited his post, before it said my friend lives in europe with a US account and has access to all content.

My bad, it was in a completely different thread. I'm such a fool.

Their should be a user password that whoever created the account made to enable child settings. If you know the password, you can disable ALL child features, thus having the freedom you want.

Yeah, man, I agree. That's ridiculous that people under 18 would have to create new accounts and lose their achievement points, etc. Nice Budd Dwyer profile pic by the way, lol. That **** was unreal...

Before you posted this I edited my post to say I made a mistake and I was looking at a different thread thinking it was this thread making it seem like you edited my post henceforth I edited my post saying that you edited it. My bad.

ReaperMojo · 21-12-2007, 12:42 PM
