Live demos

corblimey

I never use Xbox live (not in a position to, unfortunately), so hopefully someone can help me out with a question my sister had. Her 12 year old son has his 360 and a wireless connection, so she's wondering how much of an eye she has to keep on him to stop him downloading demos of, for example, GTA (a game he's dying to play) and other age-inappropriate titles. Is there anything she can do, a kid filter or are 15+ game demos not even available on Live? What do others do?

Everything here should help - http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/xbox360/familysettings/consolefamilysettings.htm

Access can be restricted to stop downloading content which has is unsuitable - i.e stop him downloading certed demo's

(PS - There is no GTA demo)

I think the xbox has parential controls, check the settings menu, I persume that would block in-appropriate titles being downloaded, see HERE

How to Set Parental Locks on an Xbox 360:

Step1
Turn on the Xbox 360 console and controller, without a game in the game tray. This will take you to the Xbox 360 dashboard.

Step2
Use the analog stick on the controller to scroll right to the “System” menu. Scroll all the way right with the analog stick until you reach the “System” tab.

Step3
Scroll to “Family Settings”. Use your analog stick to scroll down to the “Family Settings” tab and then click the “A” button.

Step4
Select “Console Controls” to add parental locks. Use the analog stick and scroll down to “Console Controls” and click the “A” button.

Step5
Determine the desired rating control settings and confirm. Under the “Console Controls” menu select “Game Ratings” and push the “A” button. Under the ratings submenu select the highest level of rating that the console will allow to be played; all games are rated for the Xbox 360, and all of the rating levels are explained under this screen.
