Sign up now.

Only issue:
Do you understand that Party Chat will not work with people outside of the Preview Program?*


So all you B3D'ers sign up so can continue to get our chat on.

 

[AlNom]

I'm in!

 

[RobertR1]

I got in immediately so I think anyone who signs up can get in.

 

[AzBat]

I'm in.

The question is: when?

Tommy McClain

 

[scently]

I'm in.

The question is: when?

Tommy McClain

Within the next two weeks.

 

[RancidLunchmeat]

Why can't they keep information like serial number and console id on file?

Especially when you've signed up for one of these programs before. Bah.

This definitely means new audio codecs for chat.

 

[AzBat]

Within the next two weeks.

Yeah, but if they do the rolling intros like last time you still don't know when you'll get in.

I'm excited to get to test ESPN3 a little early since I'll get access to more of the college football season and won't have to depend on PlayOn anymore.

Well, what are the chances you still have the same console?

Also, remember that once you're in the preview, you're in it until we launch, so if you decide you can't live without party/private chat, don't sign up.

We talked about this, :smile: given all of the data that can be mined and the fact that I need to login to connect one would hope that at least the gamertag would be pre-populated and it isn't like MSFT doesn't know the last console serial and console id my gamertag was on. Oh, BTW, tell corp thanks for the dividend increase.

Does the preview come with the ability to "demo" the Live Family pack?

I suspect it's just a database thing. When I sign up for the internal betas they always pre-populate my console ID and serial.

There was a dividend increase? I'm so used to the stock going nowhere that I haven't even looked at mine in ages.

I don't know about the Family Pack, but the preview should have some new features that you will like.

They bumped it 3 cents this quarter from 13 to 16. The move actually pushed the stock value down a bit.

 

[NRP]

I'm in.

 

[AzBat]

If you did not sign up for the Xbox LIVE Update Preview it is now officially too late. We have all the people we need http://mjr.mn/9MTH0I

Hopefully everybody here got in.

[Acert93]

Doubt it. Should I even try?

 

[BadTB25]

I didn't try either. Hopefully the Beta will be a relatively short period before the official release.

 

[Rangers]

I'm in. They were literally taking all applicants.

 

[BRiT]

The general thought is the preview period will be for one month, the month of October, and the dashboard will be released on November 4th when Kinect hits retail.

 

[Rangers]

Video of the new dash

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Hmmm, don't think I like it as much as the current dashboard. I like it in the current one where you can see what's coming up in the background.

The new one seems to be trying to go for a very utilitarian/boring look and throwing out all sense of style.
