So I need to download the Bad company 2 demo, but I used my real age for my account, and I am 17.
So I was wondering, if I created another account, then used a 48 hour gold card, would I be able to download the demo, then play it on my normal gamertag?
Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Anyway to download an M-rated demo? I'm 17..
I'm 18 and I can't download anything." 1. Turn 18 2. download demo "
You have to be 21. Makes absolutely no fucking sense, I know.

" 1. Turn 18 2. download demo "This. Just grind out some exp. You're only 1 level away.
" Make a new account and you can download the demo. I've been using an alt. account for M-rated demos for a while now. "What he said. Then you can play it on your normal account too!
This shit is so goddamn annoying. The one time I don't lie about my age and it bites me in the ass. Even though I turned seventeen it still won't let me download M-rated demos. Thanks for that addition, Microsoft.
If you haven't made three Live accounts yet then when you make another you'll get one month free of Gold, so that might work if you make an alternate that's above whatever the actual age is.
To this day, I'm convinced that all those stats you hear about 'The average age of a video game player is 35' and such are corrupted by people lying about their age on the internet.
" @Tru3_Blu3 said:I'm 19 and I'm able to download anything on the 360. Although I'm Canadian I doubt there's a difference, seeing as everything video game wise we copy the Americans to the letter." @wrecks said:Wait is this true?

Well when you sign up an account. Make sure the email you use has a age assigned higher then a mature game. Just create a new gt and then use that email and use fake info and ta-da. And when you asked if you can download it on a second account and play it on your other account. You cant. Unless you signed up a parental email account with your gt that u use normally. Then ther is a process that you have to follow to allow you to do it
Their slogan is Ryde or die. Thought if you liked the group you'd know what I'm talking bout. It's all good man my mistake.
And welcome to the site.
If you are talking about Xbox, your proposed solution will not work due to EA. It is impossible to play the demo online with an account belonging to someone below 18. The full game shouldn't have this problem (as was the case with the first). I made a seperate account to play the demo. You won't have to get a 48 hour trial because each new Gold account gets a free month of xbox live gold. You can only make 3 accounts per xbox.
