Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 System Update Beta Confirmation Emails Sent Check Status Now

Examiner

Earlier this month, Microsoft asked Xbox 360 owners to register for an all-new beta program in which several thousand registrants would early access to the upcoming Xbox 360 system update. The biggest of the system update will be the new functionality of utilizing a new disc format, which has been revealed to be a larger DVD that shall contain an extra 1GB of data, increase security, and make loading faster.

If you registered for the beta program, emails will be going out later this afternoon, but you can skip that step and find out if you have been chosen by simply checking your status here. If you have been accepted, you’ll notice a ‘Quit’ option under ‘Actions’ menu. To find out whether you’ll be testing the new disc format or just be getting access to the online beta, you can find that out by going here. If the page doesn’t load properly initially, reload and it should work fine the second time if you have been approved for the beta test.

Did you gain entrance to the beta and what group did you gain access to?

lololollol



I got accepted!! :) Nearly everyone I know of that signed up on teamxbox got accepted. I am surprised there aren`t more on here saying they got in atm. I always sign up for these things as fast as I can. I been in the last 2 Xbox Live Preview programs as well. I wasn`t part of the Kinect Beta however... :(



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I didn't get in either, and I'm not Canadian too. 

Seems like a bunch of work for not even a 10% improvement.  Probably has more to do with piracy.

(I remember when anyone could get an Xbox with a hacked with a hard drive and ‘all the games.’  I wonder how much that influenced the X360 coming out so quickly.)

 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
