I seriously regret putting in my real birthday when i signed up for xbox live back in 2005. I got into the preview program for the new xbox update including Facebook, Twitter, last.fm and all those other cool goodies. But like every cool new feature that Microsoft puts on Xbox Live, you have to have an adult Xbox Live account. Godammit Microsoft why must you always dissapoint me?

You can upgrade your account to an adult somewhere on Xbox.com.

No it's not, it's 17. My account was a child account and when the email registered to it said 17 years old I could promote to adult account.

Be thankful that the upgrade is even possible. When I turned 18, I was still listed as a child account and have only recently been able to rectify it.

@HandsomeDead:

thats true, but i hope at some point they changed so child accounts can go on, like same thing happened when you were able to Windows live Messenger, and then i had to wait i was able to use it, like they seriously cant just have it so parents can turn it on and off? And the same thing with downlaoding demos and videos that are M rated.

I felted the same way when the last xbox live update for preview program, I was pissed when I found out. I used my older brother xbox live account, the next problem I had was the price of the clothes and stuff for your avatar.

That wasn't the case for me. I created my account at 17 and it was a child account. On my 18th birthday, it prompted me to upgrade to an adult account.

Well other people have said they had to wait until they were 18, so I dunno, all I know is it let me change it when the email said 17.
