WTF!!!! Now im pissed!!! i signed up to Xbox Live when i was 17 & now im 18 and it still counts me as a child account!!! normally that wouldnt bother me so much, but i just got the new Live update & i cant use the new IM feature cause of that!!! and theres no way im making a new account, I WORKED HARD FOR THAT GAMERSCORE, & SPENT CASH ON 12 MONTH LIVE SUBSCRIPTION + 200 MICROSOFT POINTS!!! THERE IS NO WAY IM GIVING THOSE UP, OR MY GAMERTAG!!!! And i even called about it and they said theres NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT! So they best make it to where it can update that or IM SUING!!!!!!!

You sure do whine about all the injustice of Microsoft. Maybe you should just buy a PS3...

A Wi...er...Revolution would work too.

Actually, I haven't really played any of the current-gen systems outside of the demo displays in stores. (Retro gaming FTW) The closest I've come is playing Worms on a friend's PSP, so you don't have to take my advice for this.

if i were to buy either of the next-gen systems, i probably would get a wii, why? 1. wii's are cheaper & 2. ive never liked or trusted sony, cause every sony product ive ever gotten has just happened to break or mess up somehow right after the warantee, a couple of the times it was our fault, but most of the time it was the product messing up on its own

Once I get enough money and the "big ticket" games (original and VC) come out, I'll go hunt down a Wii. (Or I'll just go buy Spore and Civ 4: Beyond the Sword for my PC.)

[TrakMastaTom]

Spore doesn't come out until 2008.

I have been waiting for that game for so long!!!

Edit: I bought an Xbox 360 today. I used my birthday money, and I bought Table Tennis. I could only afford a core, so I am waiting til I get paid, then I will get my hard drive, and eventually a wireless internet thing.

I will take note of your problem and lie about my age, being only 17.
So thanks for the heads up.

Nice TMT now can you buy my an Xbox 360..... I mean todays my birthday.

I know, and they had to go and delay it. Again. :( At first I was hoping for it before my birthday this year (Q3), then it was October, now it's March! Oh well, I guess you can't rush perfection.

Going with Sony wouldn't be much better.

Nintendo is best :thumright:

Back on topic, I signed up for Xbox Live today with my 360. I lied about my age to avoid this problem, putting that I was born in 89 which would make me 18. It still tells me that I have a children's account. I have no idea why. It hasn't really been a problem for me, but if it becomes one I will probably be pretty irritated.

thats weird?? i wonder why that is?? still, the only 2 problems that you'll have for not being an adult account are:

1. no using the IM feature
2. no advertizements of featured live downloads

and also, whats ure XBLGT??

[TrakMastaTom]

It is Shikany.

Well I found this on Xbox.com | Online Policies - Xbox.com Terms of Use (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/legal/?WT.svl=nav) hopefully this would settle your problems.
