Beta test the new xbox 360 dashboard
I got accepted, ready to get my download, they said in the next 2 weeks it will happen.
https://connect.microsoft.com/XboxLIVEUpdate Microsoft is looking for a few thousand folks to test out its next big Xbox Live Update. Who wants an early look at the new Xbox Live dashboard? If you're keen to get a peek at the new dashboard along with ESPN on Xbox Live, Netflix searching, Zune music, and other updates coming in the next big Xbox Live update, now's your chance. Microsoft is now accepting applications for the Xbox Live update preview program, and with multiple thousands of participants needed, there's a strong chance you'll be one of them. If you don't stand behind our troops. Please feel free to stand in front of them... PROUD to be an AMERICAN! |

that's usually all I test is games as well, but I'm really interested in the ESPN stuff, so I'll let everyone know about it once I get it.

I don't understand peoples fascination with beta testing stuff...you are playing or testing an incomplete product. Now its fine if you go into it knowing that...however most people go in thinking its the final product and thats how its going to work exactly when its released as final...
and then when they find an issue, its all "OMG IM NOT BUYING THIS CRAP HURRRR DUUURRRR" weird man DatGuy "doubts my connections". |

I am curious about the ESPN stuff as well. But I don't think its going to be what any of us hope its going to be.

Signed up for it and was accepted... Hopefully they change our avatar's flamboyant hip stance.

The redesign is pretty badas IMO, menus are slicker looking and sharper, the voice features are MUCH clearer and the ESPN thing is AWESOME!

The new Avatar options are pretty neat... been having problems with the new voice codec though and with Themes, they seem to infuse with one another improperly upon change.
