My Live account is set to a child account and even though I tried switching the Windows Live ID I still can't download things rated Mature. Does this mean that I won't be able to download the Halo: Reach beta? I know it doesn't come out for a while but I would like to know. Thanks.

Reach will be classed as a Mature Content file, methinks. If your parents actually signed up an email for it, you'll have to check with them, but otherwise, you're going to have to find a way around it. Parental lock can be annoying, and it's especially annoying to remove once you actually become old enough to no longer need to have one (that's right, it doesn't even do it automatically).

Yes my Dad's email was used to create the account. That's why I changed the Windows Live ID, the one originally my dad's, to mine. Yet I still can't download some things. Is there any way I can get rid of the parental lock? I'm definitely old enough not to need it anymore.

That's if the Halo Reach beta will be a download, you might just be able to access it using the ODST memory. But knowing Bungie it wont sorry.

You should be able to DL DLC normally, but if you're under 18, and you used your actual age when making your account, you can't DL M-Rated trailers, demos, or videos. And the Reach beta will have a slot in the ODST menu (I think).

Do you mean it will show up as news updates or whatever (like the vidocs) and I will have to download it?

  • 11.10.2009 3:07 PM PDT

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Well if there is a parental lock then I would guess that your parents can remove that lock. But I'm thinking of AOL. I'm not sure how WindowsLive works.

I think an extra option will appear on the main menu, with the FF and Campaign.

as long as you have halo 3 ODST you can play the reach beta, having odst is the only way to get the reach beta because you get to the demo through odst... its not a download

No it's not, all that is confirmed is that the game functions as a beta key, meaning you will still need to download the beta at some point, meaning it is more than likely DLC and subject to it's rules. Now since the download is dependant on the beta key from the game, it is possible that it will not recognize a parental lock, as the game with the key is rated M.

Hard to say. You should be able to remove parental locks through the setting of the xbl account.

if all fails, you can always make a new account only for the beta.

MS gives you a free 1 month when making a new account... more than enough for what you gonna do.


...... unless you have made 3 accounts to pwn noobs on H3 already. but you haven't, have you? then you're good to go :D

Well, I could do that but I'm not sure I would want to. Thanks for the idea though. And it is a while away so maybe I'll change my mind If I can't download it.
