Just posted on Xbox.com. This one may answer some of your age related questions about the IM features.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!! I NEED CRACKDOWN!!!!
Doesn't really answer my question. It should have originally been in family settings. I personally have been using msn since i was 10 and I'm not stupid, I know who not to talk too. My parents allow me to use it.
Xbox decides it's wrong to use msn? What next they decide it's wrong to talk to people on xbox aswell? Because that's worse, they can send pictures. Pictures of things much worse then things that can be typed or said. Atleast they're working on a solution for it.
Thanks for the update. :)
So...any word on that Crackdown DLC?
I see there is still no FAQ to change the associated email with the account.
LOL! That should have read "small BUT VOCAL" group of people who are now over 18...
On another note, I just found my final agility orb in Crackdown! Any word on when the update is coming, Major?
Tavin.
Major can you also please tell the team if they can allow they use of ads in the dashboard for people who now are 18 but created their account before 18, or an option in the parent control to allow the use of messenger and to view ads on the dashboard.
Thank you for your time and dedication
alright, thanks Major. Hope we'll see the update soon.
--------
I am now 18 or older. Why is my account still considered a child account?
There is a very small group of Xbox LIVE members who first created their accounts while under the age of 18 but have since passed their 18th birthday. These members cannot access Messenger on Xbox 360 at this time. We will explore solutions that enable these members to use Messenger on their Xbox 360 and will update the community when we have more information to share.

WHATA ***!
YOU MUST BE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!
I PAY 50 BUCKS FOR WHAT???????
SHAME ON YOU XBOX TEAM!
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
thanks Major Nelson hope you guys get it sorted out soon in a way where all child accounts can be updated to Adult Accounts if the user is 18 cause i just tirned 18 in march now and i don't wanna be on this account i wanna get all the features i pay for including the ADS and the IM
Hopefully we don't have to wait until the fall update to get the graduation feature so the people that have since turned 18 from when they first signed up(like Me)can use the whole messenger feature.
Why do more then half my messages never post on your blog MN? WHY?!?!?!?
So wuts up with the messenSo i guess im done but i just cant figure out what to do- i try to instant message my freind- but i run into some walls, so mabye someone could give an easy guide or instructuions to help everyone out, i just cant do it... so please help. SO... my question is i dont know how to get the messenger to work. help.
Major, I have a question?
Why does my 360 now boots/starts on the media center section? Is this happening to anyone else here?
I personally have not been affected by the age problem, but that response was underwhelming to say the least; and it should have been something they put out hours after the update came out, not a day later.
So basically, we have to wait until the Fall Update.
Cool, are you going to post any news about the chatpad peripheral soon though? =D We're all anxious to hear of release dates and such!
First!
It dosent involve me tho
Geez thats really helpful.... Sorry but that still makes me angry.
I think more than just a small group have turned 18 since launch.
I wanted to try the new windows live messenger feature now released since the Spring Update came but it says im using a "childs" account!! Bullshit this needs to be fixed!! im 19 yrs old im not a damn child so u either fix this issue or many ppl will cancel their xbox live membership including me.
Nice, thanks for the info Major...I'm in that small group of 18 year olds with a child account and it's nice to hear you understand the problem. Keep up the good work
