KewlBrettC Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 As the title says, idk anyone who doesn't have advertisements on their dashboard but me. I log into my sisters XBL account on the same xbox and it has ads but not mine. I dont get it. I dont really mind, but is there anyone else like me out there?

Bax x360a Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Can't say I've heard of anything like that before. Sounds like a blessing in disguise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tussell Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I've actually got it too. I figured it was some sort of 'M' rated reason. Such as it being a child account. Even after I turned 17, it was still like that... I don't fully understand either. I've been curious ever since I got my 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zef Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I think that Microsoft just can't be arsed having adverts for different age ranges so just disable them for minors to avoid any trouble. I'm sure there is some silly law that makes it naughty to advertise things to youngsters, so no Gears of War adverts for little Timmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antnie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Is there a way to make my xbox have advertisments(like change my age on the 360 or something) , or do i have to wait till i turn 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calzord Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 basically if the email you signed up this said "your under 18" to you xbox when you set up your account your xbox said "then he will never get to see ads bruoo ha ha ( unless i fix the problem of when you turn 18 it still dosnt change). and so your xbox and your email still plot against you.

KewlBrettC Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 my friends are the same age as me though and signed up with that information. idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTheGamer Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I never got them and was kinda jealous, like you said my sister's account on the same 360 got them but not me. With the new update you have the ability to promote your account to an adult account (under Account Management in the XBL Blade) and then you will get them.

Tussell Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Why is it 18? Even seeing an R rated film is 17. So there's no advertisement that should be for people 18+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaens Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have my son's account restricted and he's never seen ads either. There are so many different 360s and accounts in this house and his is the only one that is like that. Clearly it has something to do with the parental controls or age on the account.

Sanction Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It doesn't bother me I don't have ads. Maybe once in a while I'll say to myself, "huh, too bad I don't have any ads there", lol but I don't worked up about it. It's not too big a deal.

Adam Miller Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I dont get them either, but is there anyone here who was under 18 and didnt get adds and has since turned 18 and got them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil2012 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah, I don't get the ads either.. I think if you have a child account then you won't get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr G85X Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 yeah you dont get ads if: you're under 18 or on a silver account (so i found anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
