I wanted to know why is it that I cannot download some demos and videos that are Rated Pending. I do have a child's account, which I can see why I can't downloaded Rated M game's trailers(such as Dead Space and DMC4's demo), but when I was trying to download the trailer for The Last Remnant, it said I couldn't download that kind of trailer because of the parental setting(which I turned all of them off), however, I can download the trailer to Infinite Undiscovery, which has the same rating as The Last Remnant(Rated Pending). This also goes for some demos.
Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Demo & video question
Microsoft probably doesn't want child accounts to download unconfirmed rated demo's to avoid lawsuits.
That's a guess ^
"Microsoft probably doesn't want child accounts to download unconfirmed rated demo's to avoid lawsuits.Pretty good guess.

"Should have lied about your age. :P"I connected it to my hotmail account, which I made a few years before I got Live, which already adds your age.
That's why i always made my birthdate 1975 lol.
But now that I'm 18 it really doesn't matter, but bad luck. Which demo's were they?

Facebreaker(that I remember. It will download it now)
Trailers:
The Last Remnant
Xbox 360 Dashboard
New Xbox Experience video
Street Fighter 4 trailer
Just to name a few.
"I hated the Facebreaker demo, let me know if you enjoyed it."I'll download it later, but the first demo I will download will be The Force Unleashed.
"BlindEffekt said:On xbox.co.nz it says it's out today."What? The demo's out?Not yet, but tomorrow. Or tonight at 12:00 AM."
Saweeeeet"
It must be going by American time then

"MS blocks it because it could end up being rated M."Facebreakers was rated T, so why did they block that?
I had this same problem, I called support and they basically told me to create a dummy silver account with a fake age to download stuff with, the downside is that you have to be logged on onto the dummy account while it downloads and you have to wait a few days after demos/videos are released to gold members to get them

I think it's cute that I can't download rated M game demos, but it's totally okay to purchase and download Ninja Gaiden: Black.
