I didn't even know that these banner ads even existed on the dashboard. I cannot see them on my 360 and i read it was because for some reason my xbox live account was created under a child account which that is not true. I looked it up and I indeed doNOT havea childs account. This makes no sense. Why cant i see these awesome informative ads on my dashboard? I have looked this up over the web but still cant find any answers, please help me if you can.

Thanks

You need to be 18 to get the banner ads.

If you created your account when you were under the age of 18, i believe you don't get the ads. I registered for XBL 3 or so years ago, and i'm 18 now. But i still don't get the ads, which is fine with me.

Yeah, that happened to me, I thought that sucked. The true story is that I got another account, a whole new one, and restarted because the Windows Live ID was bugged. Basically, I could never get my account back if I transfered or got deleted from my Harddrive... so what is the point of having it? So I got another account, and it only had 6K on the last acount account, but you have 27K. I can understand that there is no way of making a whole account, even with the effort you put into it.

Why? Because i am tired of the dull blank squares on my dashboard. Sometimes i forget to check the market place for new downloads and such, and overall it just looks a lot more next gen to have freaking ads showing up on your dashborad! Besides, its not like they are internet ads, they are VIDEO GAME ads so who cares? They promote games to keep an eye out for.

Hopefully you guys figure this one out. How's about calling MS up? I don't know but my dashboard is looking a little too bare, need those advertisements to spice it up. (I cant believe I'm requesting to be advertised to.)

But yeah, it feels dyanmic and next-gen to have them there.

I have called MS for this problem and they just give me the whole run around crap. I was talking to everyone and they didnt know what I wanted. This one guy told me to take my hard drive to a friends house to put it into his 360. I havent tried to do that yet because I think it's a stupid idea but anyways I have called them and MS has no clue what I am talking about.
