you have to be either 16 or 18 (can't remember which) to use it...

Hang on though i can get on my msn from media center.. ? :s

It's weird, my account was set up with my dob, i'm 19 and mine doesn't work either.

I think both EMAIL And Xbox live have to set up as over 18.

When you sign up with your real DOB it goes by that, if you sign up when you made your email addy after 18 you can use MSN, if you sign up at about 17 using your real DOB it always has you down as 17, on the xbox your age doesn't increase, it stays the same so if you sign up before 18 with real DOB you need to change gamertags to use the MSN
