does xbox live have parental controls

The Xbox has parental controls itself. Xbox live is just a service to get your Xbox online via Xbox supporting servers.

It would be under the account of the user, nothing to do with online access.

you may have to download some apps for filter or parental control things for your child...

Yeah it gives you access to Xbox LIVE, games, movies apps, music. It's a great gift to give someone who like on play online.

Yes, it does because it comes with a trial subscription to Xbox Live but it is only for a month. If I remember correctly it is $25 for 3 months or if you want to look around for deals, I found an offer of a year for $40. You will get a card like you do for software downloads with a code to input.

Absolutely. Just press and hold the X-Box button (the big "X" at the top of the remote) and it acts the same as the central button on the game pad. It will bring up the option to turn off the console and you simply need to arrow up and hit the center round and bingo. Off it goes.Keep in mind that it is an IR remote and only has a limited sideways variance (I'd say 30 degrees max) so you'll need a pretty clear line of sight and be standing just about in front of the console for it to pick up the signal.Edit: depending on the age of your son and how tech savvy he is, he can cancel your command with his game controller.

WOW, I have to say that is the best question I have seen about this device.The answer is unfortunately no. There is definitely a way if you are willing to jailbreak the application and write your own parental control widget. But there is no software that you can install to control what your child can do on the device, including browsing to questionable material.I would not be surprised if somebody is already working on such an applet to sell at the applications store. For now though, I haven't seen anything like that.

You still hear the sounds on these, but I prefer that so I can moniter what is being said. I really don't think children should be set loose on the internet without an adult present because there are a lot of inappropiate things said on the internet, especially in these game rooms. I moniter everythilng when my grandkids are on the internet. When they hear me say that's enough they know to get out of that game right then or I will take the Xbox.

No, the PC version of Minecraft does NOT support controllers like this, however there are mods available that add support. Do a Google search with the following terms to quickly find info "Xbox Controller PC site:minecraftforum.net" That is the official Minecraft forum, so it is trustworthy and heavily patrolled for malicious content. Be sure to read some of the comments before downloading something, though, just to be safe.

Yeah it gives you access to Xbox LIVE play online etc. but as soon i redeem the code it would log me off when i turn on my Xbox or even when i use my apps such as Netflix or Youtube it was working fine when I didnt have access to LIVE I need to call Xbox for support to fix the problem. This is what im experiencing after i bought it online for the first time, before i would get them at Target,711 or just straight from the menu from your Xbox.Hope this helps you out in some way.

No. This headset requires a connection to your controller. The controller can be wireless though, so you won't have to run any cords across your living space to the Xbox itself.

Actually, it does not stop at the XBox live! The game presents a dialog to create an online profile with the EA server (or whatever it is called now) for accessing the online features of the game. If you try to skip the profile creation step, you go in an infinite loop. If the game is designed for a console, why does a child need a profile on EA server? Let me guess (in game purchase?) There should be at least an option to play the game without EA account!

Yes you can play without Xbox live you just do not get to play with friends online.

No you do not need Xbox Live to install the DLC. You install it directly from the disc.

no. I see my kid plays by himself. The system wouldn't let split screen mode to turn of so his brother cannot sign in to play with him. I just see one big screen.

Yes. I have an 8-year old son who plays offline, all the time. No problems.

You can play without signing into Xbox live, but several of the features of the game are disabled, including the survival mode entirely.
