Hi there.
Please refrain from smashing your console to pieces, this is easily fixed!
Right, to explain! When you purchase a subscription via xbox.com it can take several hours before the profile on your console is updated, there are a number
of ways to resolve this time period though:
- Clearing the update cache on your xbox 360
- Performing an xbox LIVE connection test.
- Recovering your xbox LIVE account.
The first option is the most efficiant as clearing the update cache will allow your console to download and refresh the latest updates from xbox LIVE, this
includes refreshing your xbox LIVE profile. If you need help to do so, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the "My xbox" slide on the dashboard.
- Scroll right, to the last page which is the "System Settings" page.
- Select "Memory" from the list of options.
- Highlight your hard drive and hit Y on your controller.
- Select the option to clear the update cache and to perform maintenance on the memory unit.
- Sign out and back in. Or restart your xbox 360.
