FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

Well, the BF:BC 2 multiplayer demo just came out today.

And guess what? I can't play the damn thing, because apparently I'm not old enough.

I made my Xbox Live account when I was 9, and put in my actual birthday. Now I can't download demos rated M, even though I have Mature games on my memory cards.

But there has to be a way to change it, right? Surely Microsoft must have realized that people, y'know, get older, right?! Please tell me there is.

As for a question, what things pissed you off due to their sheer inanity?

That's why I have FlimsyBeef! To download everything I want, then use with my actual account! It's win-win!

And just to clarify, FlimsyBeef is a gamertag.

[Nex-Falx]

Thanks for telling me about that demo having come out... Go-Go Gadget Xbox 360!

I believe the official instructions from Microsoft are "screw you". ya, I have no idea what to do. you shouldn't of put in your birthday I guess.

So, start another profile with Xbox Live Silver?

Hang on a second, BF:BC2 MP Demo, on X-box? Whatever happened to Sony bribing Dice and it only coming out on PS3, I'm pretty sure it said on the website "Only on PS3" if its on X-box though I'm thrilled, I think I'll download that now.

Pretty much, yeah. Make sure you use an age older than eighteen for your birthday, though.

Yeah you get older... consider yourself lucky you don't have a PSN account. Enter the wrong DOB on there & forget what it is & you can kiss your account goodbye if you forget your password

My freind had the same problem and his xbox red ringed, so he sends it to get it repaired and a week later he gets a new 360 with all his memory and the family settings disabled.

Meaningless titles are meaningless and are starting to piss me off. Titles are supposed to have something to do with the post. At leats make it clear you're justbitching about a game.

Oh, you invited others to do so. Um, bethesda taking down their DLC site fr Oblivion.

If you put in your birthday then they probably take aging into account, but if you're not actually 17, then to fair, they are covering their asses quite nicely.

 

[enzilewulf]

Thanks for telling me. Now i'm downloading it

OP: that sucks dude. This game has promise

 

[teutonicman]

Just make a new account name, say kleenex ghost?

 

[dmase]

I did this with my ps3 and i just made another user account and made that an 18 year old account. You can't choose users when you log in like ps3 i guess.

I'm torn on BF:BC2. I have the first one for PS3, and I loved it. However, I prefer my BF fix to be PC-delivered (FPS is better with mouse-keyboard.)

So, Escapists, do I:
1)Buy PS3
2)Buy PC
or
3)Go whole crazy gamer douche and buy both?

Well, it conveyed my emotions towards the situation pretty well, so I just stuck with it.

What else did you think it would be about, anyway?

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

DEMO, YOU SAY?

*runs off to download it*

OT: just make a new account. Not like it really matters if you have in on a different account, it is just a demo after all.

I don't know, something was getting bitched about but exactly what... Oh well, I ended the post saying that it was basically all good cuz' you invited others to complain too, which is always fun, though my meaning probably wasn't clear and I probably should have deleted the earlier part, sorry.

As an Australian trying to convince the government that kids won't play R18 titles, stop ruining it for the adults and go play viva pinata.
