    Changing your age doesn't work anymore. You'll need to make another account and download the demo on that. I've tried everything I even sent a e-mail to Microsoft. Didn't get a reply.

    I'm sorry but that's the only way you'll get a M Rated Demo by making a silver account. You don't need gold for demos. Thank God.

    This is very disappointing to tell you but you can't. I am the same age and I did the exact same thing you did. (say you were 15). Your only two options are to wait till you are the right age, highly doughty you will, or all you have to do is to go to msn, or any kind of email that you can create a new account in, and just lie. Put your age at 18 or older then just go on that account and download resident evil 5, that I want to play but I am in the same situation. I am just about to use this account that I just created to answer this question to download the demo. All in all dam Microsoft.

    Dam Bungie lol.

    Unfortunately (because I'm in kind of the same situation), what they make you do is called promoting a child account.

    The reason this is unfortunate is that they MAKE you give a new credit card in order to do this. So unless you have your own credit card information you'd like to give them or your parents don't mind giving them information for a different credit card then you're kinda screwed.

    Go to system settings, and select parental controls. You should be able to control the whole shabang from there.

    Hope that helped! :-)

    You need to have the parent account you assigned when you signed up log in and change the parental settings.
