xbox live help please

We are quite frustrated. We set up, connected kinect, got a gamer tag and friended 2 of my sons friends.
We couldn't get to the "party" after an invite.
Next, we try to go to madden xbox live and it says that we aren't old enough to accept the ea sports info and begin.
Please help. Kid is getting mad at me.

Go to your system settings and look for the parental controls. Sounds like you are under the parental controls lock and you arent able to do these things due to it.

Check this out and it should walk you through it.

Thanks. Got it for now. Kid signed up and he put in his real dob. He's 12 and You have to be 13. We just made another gamertag.
Tried to do madden '12, but its saying we have to purchase something specific to access madden live. Do they all have an additional charge? I thought the live membership would take care of it.
Thanks again. Remember, I grew up on Atari and FORTRAN, so help is appreciated.
I need to know because I would like to play some late night games online from time to time.

Madden should have come with an online pass code in the case. You get one with all EA Sports games.

Ok then. We got it used at gamestop and I bet the code stayed behind. Now I know.
I have learned a lot today. Thanks again.

If you have a credit card or microsoft points you can buy one for 10 bucks I think.

People are mad at EA for doing that on all the games, guaranteeing extra money from secondhand sales

It's clever, but still a dick move.

Yeah the EA age thing blows especially for sports games. My youngest hates he can't play online and he is 12.

Hey I need help with batteries not xbox live. I been playing a lot lately and my wireless controllers have been eating my batteries alive. I went out today and bought a "Power Kit (Nyko)" It comes with a play n charge cable and 1 rechargeable battery. Is there something better out in the market I could use? or is this my best bet to cost down the cost of batteries?

I bought the play and charge kit from microsoft for 20. It works great, no batteries needed. You just connect the controller to the system like a wired controller, then when it is finished charging you use it as a wireless controller.

Play n charge is the way to go if you have a wireless controller. You'll save a ton of money compared to what you'll blow on batteries in the long run.

I have used the play n charge and while it a great product, I prefer the quick charge battery kit.
Microsoft - Quick Charge Kit for Xbox 360 - T2F-00001

Best thing out there imo.
