Subject: Why cant i get online? can anybody help me?

Every time i logg onto xbox live on halo 2, it says "you have an important message from xbox" and i can choose "account management" or "continue offline". If i go to account management, it doesnt say anything about messages. Has anybody had this problem before with their 360?

It could just be a bug. I'll dig around for you and see what I can find.

Wow, that was fast. Gawd bless Live Search.

Okay, according to this article-type thing, it's a problem with your downloaded content. It suggests that you update your credit card info.

how do i enable "premium content"?

  • 06.14.2007 11:43 AM PDT

would deleting my map packs help at all? cause that might be the problem.

Premium Content is things like XBL Arcade games and extra maps, weapons, etc. for normal games.

Deleting your map packs and then reinstalling them may help, but you might want to check and see whether your account is expired, as suggested above.
