The Xbox Live Preview Program: Zune, Facebook and Twitter Just got a tweet from Major Nelson, I already signed up. I didn't tell all my friends about it early for the one in July, so they got mad at me , so now,without further ado, : LINK You're welcome, guys!
No problem, just be thankful Nelson has a Twitter. EDIT: Also, when it is released, we can discuss glitches and problems here.
That was a HORRIBLE survey to fill in. It had me physically running around the house to fill in! Having to get Model numbers for unrelated products was the stupidest thing ever.. But i'm signed up, waiting email confirmation. Thanks Black Theorem! Also - When do we get the confirmation email?
I was in the NXE beta, back in the day. So I just had to put in my consoles serial number. I'm worried that some of the info that I didn't have to fill in has changed though... Edit: Actually I used my alternate account and all I had was my gamertag, Live ID and console numbers. Did anyone else have to put in more?
It won't be announced, you need to check yourself. Also, can anyone post when it's (this preview) is released? I have no XBL access in my dorm, so I couldn't tell.

Just so you guys know, one of the changes to the new dashboard is that you will no longer be able to use external memory sources to bolster your content. IE external hard drives that are no longer compatible. M$ wants to make sure you're using their and only their products. Can't blame them really.. but just a heads up. If any of you have content stored on external sources, better consolidate and get it on your 360 ASAP, otherwise it will soon be unreadable
I'm not all too excited for these updates, but at least it gives me a reason to start checking facebook more often.
gah thats such BS. They overprice their ****ing harddrives so bad too. You can get a terabyte laptop HDD for 90 dollars these days. Thats exactly what a 360 HDD is, a laptop HDD in a case, 120GB for over 100 dollars. That is SO ****ing expensive. Plus, they made it impossible to use your own harddrives through certain firmware requirements as well as that the 360 will only ever recognize 20, 60, or 120GB HDDs. ****ing douchebags out there are microsoft. HATE.
I didn't get an email, but I think I did get into the preview. Just received an update on the console saying something about 'Welcome to the Xbox LIVE Update Preview'
Yes, Major Nelson just tweeted again that the update will be out within the next few hours. AND HE'S STILL TWEETING! THE UPDATE IS HERE!!! Waypoint won't be released until next week tho.
When/If you do get facebook on your 360. Will your XBL status show up on Facebook? Or how is that going to work?
I think there's a place to type in your Facebook status in the dashboard. Should be in the video supplied above by rifte. TheorEDIT: Yeah, you click on your Profile box, and it say's "What's on your mind?" That's probably it.
