About Me
I have nearly every Nintendo system that has ever come out, I'm basically a fanboy, but I got a 360 about 3 months ago. Since the Wii is just a dust magnet right now I basically play KotOR, Bioshock, and COD4.

Alright, I got a couple quick questions I was hoping the fine people at Destructoid could answer.

First, just recently my console has been acting wonky in regards to DLC. When I first got my Xbox I unlocked the whole thing so the Family Restrictions were off. Then I promptly downloaded the Bishock Demo, which is rated M. Just a few days ago I downloaded the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3, which is rated M. And now, just today I try to download the HL2: Episode 2 Demo and it slaps me in the face with "This account is not allowed to download content of that rating." I find this odd and try to download the Bioshock demo again just to see if it will allow me to download content I've already seen. It again slaps me with the big X. Why is this?

Secondly, I noticed this when I got my Xbox, my hard drive already has about 8 gigs missing. All of the menus for my memory only have 100 MB, maybe almost a gig, but nothing that adds up to anywhere near 8 gigs. Where did this space go? I even deleted all the music they hide on the thing.

Thanks for the help.

First question: no idea

Second one: Everyone has this, the 'missing' storage is for thing s like system files (Live et al) and the emulator for origial Xbox games.

Yeah the 8 gigs missing is the operating system and whatnot.

My friend had the first one too, said it was something to do with upgrading his account from child to adult.

HDD's don't come with their intended amount because they need to format it and that needs a few Percentage of the drive itself depending how big it is.

I have a 250 GB HDD and it comes preloaded with 232. So I'm losing 18 gigs of porn there. So who should be the pissed off one eh :P

About the whole download thing is because you have a child's account. Thanks to the new update, only adult accounts can download M rated demoes. I'm in the same position, it sucks, not the end of the world though.

The missing 8GBs is not the OS. It's a bunch of media files that they preloaded on it. Go into your memory and delete the stupid vids and music that comes with the HDD.

As for the other issue, that's an account issue and 1-800-4MYXBOX could get that straightened out quickly.
