Please read!!!! Was playing Forza 5 tonight and came to a point in the game that i was offered to buy a car in game. ...,..,.,,.,Chose the car and all of a sudden I was prompted to buy a package (mid game) for $49.99 of actual money. I went through the
prompts and realized no security code was needed to make purchase (i did not make the purchase for the expensive pack but did buy an individual car and was never asked for a password or my 3 digit pin on the back of my card). I called xbox about this issue
but the customer support person said this was normal as a password is needed to login to the account so there was no need to ask for a password to access my personal bank account. I find this to be a major issue that should be resolved . This gives the abilty
for anyones child to simply hit 2 buttons to make a purchase for hundreds of dollars. This needs to be stopped and a security feature really needs to be put in place. Please let this problem be heard!!!!!

Can I get DLCs with an Xbox Live ban?

Games and dlc are linked to your account.

But beware, they can't be downloaded on a banned console.

Buying an used XBOX 360. Games associated with another LIVE.

The property of the games is linked to the account that purchased these games. Yes if you use another account you might lose the games.

Side note when purchasing a second hand console you accept to take your own risk. Buyer beware!

You can set an option to disable purchasing from your xbox. You should keep your young children on non-connected GT's until they understand they shouldn't do that.

I certainly don't understand why I can't make purchases of 360 games with BC using funds in my account. why do I need to use a credit card when I have funds in my account? Never mind if it's the "rules" - What is the logic?

ngocphi

The prevention of transfer of funds reduces the likely hood of anyone using their accounts in a way not intended like selling currency or accounts or if an account gets compromised the less likely a phisher can profit from it by stealing income

I understand your frustration yet the rules are clear:

1) Even if you could pass credit on your son's account he can't make purchases from a minor's account

2) You can purchase 360 xbox games with BC only through a credit card

Hope you understand!
