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.

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'

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.

You're 16, face it. Stop trying to bypass the system, it's there for a reason.

second that.

 

 

 

you'd only have to be 18 if it was your creditcard.

 

 

 

you only live once, nobody wants to wait till there older.

The system is there to stop people from ****ing up their lives.

WRONG! The whole reason the system is there is to be bypassed! FOOLS!

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.

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.

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.
