flamestrike Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ok this is frustrating me so this is basically a vent/ asking for help thread. I checked my subscription status today, in 6 days i will have had xbox live service for 2 years. Ok this morning i signed on live and saw the bulletin, get a xbox live diamond card, which is a card you get if you have xbox live which can give u discounts to stores such as best buy, quiznos and such. I was like cool ill go check it out. I get on xbox.com to see its completely different since last time i visted, they must of updated when 360 came out. So last time i was here i was linking my gamertag so i could see what games my friends were playing on my computer. So It told me i needed some gamercard thing, so that i could talk on the fourms and use the website to its full advantage. First i tried and i get this message, your too young to sign up. So i figure, no biggy ill outsmart this thing and make a new .net passport. So i made a new one saying i was 18. Go on try again get to the gamertag part, entered my gamertag and my details and boom too young. So i figure you probably have to be 21. So i go on make a new .net passport and try again enter my detail and boom not old enough. So by this point ive probably tried about 6 .net passports and it keep saying im too young, so im thinking i must of had to enter a birthday when i signed up for live. So i checked my account management on my xbox, and it didnt show a birthday thing anywhere. So i check the new account thing and looked at the code, you have to be 18 to sign up. Well seeing as ive been an xbox live member for 2 years now i must of signed up using a false bday. Seeing as im only 16. So i go back make abnother passport. use the bday i always use when im not old enough 1/30/60 my birthday and my dads year. Still no luck, found out i could sign up for a diamond card without one of these gamercard things, but i still kind of want one just cause of the fact that i cant get one. Anyone have any advice to getting past this age thing. I tried to the customer service thing and they have nothing about this. argg that feels better.

runesmithie Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 They probably stored a cookie or logged your IP saying you're too young for your IP :P A lot of places do that so you only have 'one try' I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

vladmoney Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Microsoft has cameras in every house, which they constantly use to spy on people and their activites. They probably used the camera behind your computer screen to recognize that you were to young. Or what runesmithie said, but I think my explination is more reasonable.

murdermoose Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 WRONG! The whole reason the system is there is to be bypassed! FOOLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dempeople15 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 the reason they don't let you sign up for live without being 18 is to keep you out of the language uses on the headsets. It's stupid, unrealistic, and besides. Clean your cookies, reset you IP address, remove the camera from behind the monitor, and it should work.

Guest GhostRanger Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 You're 16, face it. Stop trying to bypass the system, it's there for a reason. The reason being what? I REALLY want to hear this. Microsoft has a reason for it. Since none of us here work for Microsoft (that I'm aware) we don't necessarily know the exact reason why the rule is there. But the rule IS there and should be honored. The reason most likely has to do with saftey and minors but once again, we can't know for sure unless they tell us. Last time I checked...TIF doesn't support breaking rules of any organization - whether its JAGeX, school proxies, or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Umm, I'm 17 and they let me subscribe for a Diamond Card. Still takes like 6-8 weeks to get here so I'm still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
