Severe Disappointment!

I'm Unable to use private chat anymore, if i get invited and join, it just cuts straight out, same if I invite.

And what in the name of HELL were Microsoft thinking by making Windows Live Messenger unavailable to under 18 accounts!? Even if your account isint a child account anymore you still wont be able to use it, because the Xbox 360 can't rocodnise when they change! So why even make it unavailable in the first place? You don't need to be over 18 to use it on a pc!! LAZY MS!!!

 This update needs updated!!

Your first problem to me sounds like your NAT settings for your router changed.  Go to your System blade, Network settings and the select Test Connection.  The last think tested on the list will be your NAT, if it's set to Moderate or Strict, you need to change it to "Open"

Yes they are, and they should continue to use their gaming consoles to do just that, play games. Use your computer to instant message.

how would you message while playing anyway unless you get that stupid keyboard? what they should have done is have a feature where your voice chat is bundled as an audio file and played on your buddies msn

You cold always tell them to shove off while you play a game on your game console and you will talk to them later. Or they can be sociable and if they really wanna talk to you, join you in game. But whatever, if you can consistantly instant message people and own people online, I give you props.

Yeah, I mean they only have it on their laptops, their desktops, their school computers, their cellphones. Why not add it to a console? I mean god forgive we have to actually use muscles to SPEAK to some one on the phone. Our gaming fingers will get weak in the time we have to speak. We must instant message them on a console, because we don't wannt get up off the couch and hop on the computer. Or pick up our cell phone. Instant messaging on a computer.....makes sense. A cell phone, not so much, but you can have it anywhere you go, you don't need to be right beside the computer. Makes a little sense. On a console...where you should be playing games, instead of forcibly taking up the television some one else could be enjoying by doing something useless that could be done elsewhere....makes no sense.

Totally agree. Surely more than half the people that use IMs are under 18 anyway. What the hell were Microsoft thinking.

Didn't need to know?  Most people know it already... that's why I stopped playing Uno long ago.  That's not a joke that that happens, between sex and the formentioned act Uno isn't as much fun as it used to be.

Severe Disappointment!

I'm Unable to use private chat anymore, if i get invited and join, it just cuts straight out, same if I invite.

And what in the name of HELL were Microsoft thinking by making Windows Live Messenger unavailable to under 18 accounts!? Even if your account isint a child account anymore you still wont be able to use it, because the Xbox 360 can't rocodnise when they change! So why even make it unavailable in the first place? You don't need to be over 18 to use it on a pc!! LAZY MS!!!

 This update needs updated!!

ScottHFC
So basically your saying the update is broken cause A) your router configuation changed and you now have a stict or moderate NAT setting and B) cause your under age and there is some age restricted stuff in the update. These are both personnal problems not the updates.

thats all well and good but what if you dont have a pc or something like that. or maybe like me you have 360 siting right next to each other, but i dont like running them at the same time because it costs a fortune.

Well I got my xbox after I turned 18 so why did it still make me create a parental account? Answer that one to me, as with everyone else I am ticked at not being able to chat using msn.
