I am happy to announce that we’re doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. The Preview Program will give you the chance to check out ESPN on Xbox LIVE, Zune music, Netflix search, the new Xbox LIVE dashboard, and new updates to Zune video and Family Settings on your Xbox 360*. Much like we did last year, you’ll need to visit the Microsoft Connect site from this link and sign in with your Windows LIVE ID that is connected to your Xbox LIVE Gamertag. Once you complete the survey that is presented to you, the Connect site will notify you immediately if you’ve been accepted. A couple of points before you head off to register:

• We’re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.
• This is not for Kinect. You will not be receiving a Kinect sensor if you are chosen to participate.
• This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.
• To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information your provide.
• While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.

I’ll be sure to updated this post if the program fills up.

Sign up for the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program

Good luck!

doin it

did it

I hate talking to people anyway

Is the voice chat better? Not gonna try this, but makes me look forward to the official update once it's out if it really did improve the voice-chat quality.

Yeah, voice chat has been reportedly improved.

I've been in parties every night thanks to MNC.

Just got the same reply.

Pfft, basically an open beta.

Accepted. All youse SSF4 players better get in on this.

I'm good.

You wanna play rn?

Might hit up Reach, and if anything I've been missing Soulcalibur 4.

Way too out of practice for SoulCalibur. :'(

I'll always love that fucking game. It was the first fighter where I joined a local scene.

My ISP does not support espn3 content

:|:|:|:|:|:|

My unlocked award clothes don't load in the new avatar marketplace

Actually, everyones unlocked stuff is just a plain blue shirt

Oh it will be updated when Kinect comes out.

Ok

You have Disney?

Quest.

Wouldn't Disney SUPPORT ESPN seeing as how they're owned by ABC?

idk

Doesn't help you obv, but I know Comcast and Cox support ESPN3

Installed the updated. I'm not sure why they don't want us talking about it publicly. It's just a new look. It's not like it's a huge jump like it was going from the blades to NXE or anything.

Everything looks much tidier now, though. Wish I could change the whiteness of the home menu.

Yeah that's my only big complaint too

They could probably sell us "Home Menu Themes" and people would buy them.

Me neither, as far as sports on demand and shit. All I can get is espn.com content.

Kinda dig the new look, but then I was never a fan of the blue/green NXE.

It's clean, but customization would be great. 2 months without my Earthworm Jim suit and breakdancing? FUCK :mad:

Maybe we should make a private social group to talk about this ish, since we could get the site into some shit for this.

Yeah I'm sure Microsoft is watching closely. :roll:

You never know. I only mention this because when there was an MMA ppv stream thread here, we were the only people dumb enough to have an openly viewable thread about illegal MMA ppv streams showing up on google when you searched "mma stream"

I can't get ESPN3 stuff either. Time Warner is currently in a dispute with the ESPN network over how they want to package the ESPN channels, versus how ESPN wants them to package their channels. I'm sure ESPN wants to be on its own package, while Time Warner does not.

I hate all this jockeying between networks and the cable companies. It's a bunch of bullshit. In the end, only the consumer loses.

btw, has anyone noticed that you STILL CAN'T PREVIEW THE GOD DAMNED THEMES?
