About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

So I messed up when I created my Live account and can't download M rated content...which is strange when Microsoft gives you the option to allow certain rated full games on an Xbox.

Anyway, will I be able to download it? I can't download either of the Vidocs that have been on the extras menu so far.

no idea... but I don't think so.
if vidocs are a no go for you... a beta that will be rated M will not work :/

create a new account for it? since they give you a one gold month for free........

unless reach is going to be rated T, which i highly doubt.

Dangit, that is such crap. If I can play full M rated games. Then why can't I watch a video about that M rated game, or download a Beta for one of the same series!?!

I'm sure there's a setting under Parental Control for that. Just enable everything and you should be fine.

Its gonna be on the market place? Im pretty sure I read something about it being a update for odst and it was going to be a extras option in the main menu.

I used to have 30s in Halo 2 untill they reset the ranks :(

My account is so messed up, I created it so long ago that at first it was a child account, but eventually I upgraded it to allow all content and when I try to download vidocs it still says I'm not allowed. :(

This better not affect me in getting Reach Beta.

yes, but all updates come through x-box live, so it's still suspect to age limits.

PM me any Coup questions you have.

Well, Bungie never said anything about making sure you can download certain content. Not sure though. =/

Because your under age and shouldnt be playing an M rated game... let me speak to your Mother. ESRB is a Joke, ofcourse I remember playing MC useing the blood code and watching my mothers Jaw drop, and ESRB was born. I am just tired of the foul mouthed kids on live telling me im to old to be playing halo. lol Ironic.

If you can't download it, just create a silver account and play with that. The beta is linked with ODST disc, so you should not need a gold account.

I wish they would allow signatures at the end of someones post... Would be fun.

Why not just make a new account? Or switch the parental controls.

So what if he downloads it with a silver account, and then plays it with his gold?
