How do I buy items in Xbox 360 Marketplace without restrictions?
The first solution that may come to mind is to take your account and modify the restrictions and the age. However, for some reason, this doesn’t seem to work. Apparently, you must have an adult account from the get-go. For some odd reason, age restrictions only seem to apply to Xbox One users and not Xbox 360 users. The most probable explanation is that Microsoft considers those that have an Xbox 360 to already be adults by now, as opposed to users of the much more recent Xbox One. As such, you only have 3 solutions, and all of them are workarounds at best:
Have someone else buy the content and gift it to you Get your hands on an Xbox 360 console and make your purchase from there Make a new account, but set it as an adult account with no restrictions from the start
