  1. Why so complicated?


    I simply want to create a seperate player account - which is for my Grandson who is 5 years old, does not have an email address and does not have a mobile phone!!

    The game we have is Disney Cars 3 and we want to be able to play seperate games with there own saves etc.

    I've bought the Xbox, bought the games - now let me use them without going round in circles and being asked for my Grandson to create their own xbox account. When I try and do that with my email I'm told that the account already exists and to create a new
    one.

    Stop trying to dictate what we can/can't do and make it easier for families to use the product!!

    :)

    Why is 60fps so important?

    I think 60 itself isn't important as a constant frame rate. I'd rather have 30 frames locked in than constantly jumping between 30 and 60.

    This kind of argument is starting to get a little bit silly to me, honestly. Yes, the consoles just came out... BOTH consoles. So it's not really an excuse for the X1 getting inferior versions.

    Why so complicated?

    unfortunatly only one gamertag can be linked to an email at a time

    simply create a new free email account for your grandson to create a gamertag that you will be able to associate it to.

    (you will also be able to set it as a child account and apply parrental control settings to it)

    this will also prevent you 5 year old grandson to have access to you private emails

    since your email and password is required to log in to xbox live you would be giving your grandson access to all your microsoft services (including access to your billing info)

    for security reasons (including the one's i just mention) microsoft preffer that everyone use sepperate accounts and not to share your info with anyone

    you can create a new account here: Microsoft account

    Why are Xbox accounts so stupidly complicated

    I'm glad you got the email problem fixed (the 30 day period is triggered when you change too much personal info) but unfortunately the problem about money in your account not being usable for xbox 360/xbox original games is by design. It has been like this
    since currency was microsoft points - they can't be used to purchase xbox 360 or original xbox games and you must be on an adult account to buy them.

    So you will have to buy Portal 2 on an adult account and with a credit/debit/paypal payment method as the currency stored in your account can NOT be used for xbox 360/xbox original games.

    Sorry.

    Here's more info on the error you saw when trying to purchase the xbox 360 game as a child account:

    why is microsoft so bad and over complicated, ?

    Teredo is a networking protocol that’s used to establish secure communications between clients and servers, and to facilitate connectivity between devices behind routers that use network address translation (NAT).
    Failure to obtain a Teredo IP address can occur when there’s an issue with your Teredo adapter, when a device on your network is blocking the Teredo protocol, or if there’s software installed on your PC that’s disabling Teredo functionality. Without a Teredo IP address, you’ll be unable to use party chat or do multiplayer gaming on Xbox Live
