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.

Microsoft probably doesn't want child accounts to download unconfirmed rated demo's to avoid lawsuits.
That's a guess ^

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?

I'll download it later, but the first demo I will download will be The Force Unleashed.

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

It shouldn't have. If you search you can find a topic about a guy who had the problem and changed his account age. If you don't find it, I'll just re-type my guide to doing it for you.

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.

I can download it now, since the game is out, but when it came out, I couldn't. I'll look at it, and try it. Thanks.

I know. I could download Doom(which I did), but I can't play rated M demos
