So I got an X-Box and a Bose sound system to add to my collection. Finally got the TV and the Bose relocated and set into getting the XBox hooked up. Installed the network bridge, got it all configured, up and running. then came the XBox live profile set up. What a friggin frustrating mess.
Go online with the XBox and go through the set up. The Windows Live account for Boy was a PITA, then because he is under 18 (I know I should have just set up a regular account for him) I had to get a Windows live account so I could approve his account. Email address is already on file
Email address is from a reserved domain
ser name and password do not match
One friggin problem after another. I created new damn email addresses for us both on Verizon and hotmail all no workie. Finally I got on the phone with XBox and after an hour and a half I got 1 profile to work.
So he logs on and it works but he is silver which is worthless to him because he wants to multi player game
The guy said We were supposed to get a prompt to upgrade to gold for 1 month. Never got it so I said screw it and got him 1 month (His mom is paying for a year) and then he can't "Match up" says he does not have permission. Back on the phone and 2 XBox reps later I got cut off from I call again and get the first guy. He says in 3 years he has never gotten hooked back to a repeat caller. So he has us check a couple things and we log back in and presto it is on and he is online live.
I hope I never have to mess with that thing again what a PITA.
