creating an xboxlive account

ok so i just bought my son an xbox 360 for christmas and created him an xbox live account from my computer and when he tries to sign in on the xbox it says that this account is registered to another xbox, please help me, do we have to create the account
on the xbox itself...

frustrated mom

So, how many of you are 10 year Xbox Live gamers?

I started with the xboxlive beta with the headset and MotoGP disk, but I currently have a new different gamer tag due to my associated Hotmail account going inactive, due to not logging into email, and thus preventing me from renewing the live account. I had to create a new account while I went through the steps of recovery for the Hotmail address. Once recovered, I simply stayed with my new gamer tag... Now associated with the old Hotmail account. :-(

 

Trying to create a 2nd account for my son.

what i would suggest is to creat him an email account for xboxlive you can get free email almost anywhere, make sure to save email and password info, once you have created him an email then i would go through the steps in creating an account for him it maybe
cost effective for you to think about a family account as well. ill post link for you , so if you do decide to go with family account it may save you some money, remember each xboxlive account needs its own email address.

and thank you for choosing xboxlive

 

You need to download the account to the console -

so how do i download the account I just created to the console? I hate to create another account considering I put in a cc # that I am very worried about now, i mean it was charged a one time fee of .50 will it be charged in the future for other fees. he
does have a limited access account.
