Posted May 9, 2007 Was in a game with a load of teenage cockney wideboys the other day, felt like I was playing against blazin squad Hahaha. I was in this game with this guy who never talked, apart from to let out a deep bellowing laugh whenever he got a kill. Probably a serial killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2007 My headsets broken, and just when I get Crackdown. Whats the best place to get one/any way of fixing it? Crackdowns good so far, nearly finished Los Muertos, but I can't beat the leader. My chances of beating him are still like 20% and I don't have a clue how to get them up.

Posted May 9, 2007 Hey all, I'm a new member to the forums, although I've been visiting the site for a while now. I don't have my 360 with me now since it's exam time at uni and I could really do without the distraction! Feel free to send me friend requests though as I think I can accept them online. My exams finish May 14th and I'll be home the next day, just in time for the Halo 3 beta! Send me an invite anytime if you’re in need of an extra person for some live games.

Posted May 9, 2007 Wow, this is ****ing stupid. Because I'm 15, I had to set up a "parent" part of my account. I had already set my age and it wouldn't let me change it. But I thought, nah, no problem, I can just turn off parental controls. So I used my alt for the parent, no problems, eveything worked perfect. But now, I can't use Windows Live Messenger. Because I'm a child account. And it won't let me change it. At all. What the ****. Is there any way to keep my game saves, achievements etc, but change the DOB?

Yeah it sucks, I mean you would think they would of thought of probably a large percent of people who use Live messenger would fall under this 'child account'. All it would take is for them to have a one time password entry by the 'parent' and that would be it. I guess they are just scared that it might be abused ie pedos I think the media center icon has also been updated, XBLA leaderboards have been updated aswell. From Major Nelson - Q: I don’t want to automatically sign in to Live Messenger on my console…how do I turn it off?A: Sign in to Xbox LIVE, go to the Xbox LIVE blade, then select your gamercard and press A. Go down to ‘Auto Sign-in’ and press A. You can set your preference for Xbox Live and Windows Live Messenger separately here. Q: The email address assigned to my Xbox LIVE account is different to the email address I use on my PC for Windows LIVE messenger. Is there a way for me to still access my messenger account? A: Not at this time. We are working on the ability to allow users to change the email address they originally used when signing up for Xbox Live. The feature will be available in an upcoming release. Hopefully this will be out soon because the regional location setting should of resolved people getting on to different marektplaces etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2007 I no longer count as a child since I'm 18, so why the feck can I not access Messenger? Pain in the ass. Anyway: Gears At 9 people! Be there, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im havin the same problem, you think Microsoft would have worked this out by now, anyone know a way to update your windows ID without having to restart your gamertag etc, at all?

Posted May 9, 2007 Good games last night Shame it ended just as i was getting warmed up :p Gonna have to check this dash update out, got the different email address problem though Will just have to change the email address i use on Live Messenger i suppose...

Im havin the same problem, you think Microsoft would have worked this out by now, anyone know a way to update your windows ID without having to restart your gamertag etc, at all? Maybe they screwed up with date formats? If you were born on the 11/3/1989 then in this country that would be 11 March but in America its 3 November Either that or MSoft are just slow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2007 Bastard! I really have no use for this update now, unless I created a new gamertag with another email, but then I'd lose my saves/achievements. Why not just make a parental control option to allow or disallow MSN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2007 MSN makes a right mess of your friends list, they should have the two lists separate instead of mixing them together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2007 A few things ive noticed: little icon on the gamercard on the dashboard and guide chat and im on dashboard and guide new section for marketplace on the dashboard instead of 'play the game' it specifies which game it is I can't remember if this was there before, but when you highlight the "Play the game" part it tells you what achievements you've got in the game in the box at the right hand side. They're changing it soon so you can change your email address. I like to think that is because I quoted the Data Protection Act to them yesterday when they refused to change my email address (personal information they are holding about me, therefore I have the right to view, change or delete it).

Posted May 9, 2007 Hmmmmm, its telling me that creating new xbox accounts isnt available at this time. Anyone else get the impression theres a room full of crying Microsoft techs trying to sort out thousands of new accounts from 'child account' people wanting to get on messenger?
