XBL 10 years Elite members


Recommended Posts

Should still be there. Go to System then in yur profile or even under Social then clicking stuff for your Avatar should show it.

I signed up with XBL in like 2004 but different Live ID which is now "linked" to my current one since I can't merge em now :( Same GamerTag though so wondering if that's how they tie em? (even though it shows my Tenure as being 1yr since I was off Xbox Live for a bit :( )

XBox Live Vet here.

I actually read on Kotaku I think it was how some 10 year members just received that custom XBox that is now in the sweepstakes. Was hoping I would somehow wind up being one of those people. :laugh:

I was a Beta Tester for Xbox Live on the original Xbox and now a 10 year member and they couldn't even send me that special email, just the message on my Xbox. You would think since they only had a few thousand beta tester for the service they could have at least sent all those people the email or the free Xbox .

I guess I could check my game history and see what the first game I ever played was... 2007!

I'd never touched an Xbox before the Xbox 360 came out. Had never even seen one in the flesh. Or the plastic. :s

You're right. I found it. It says 5 for me because I've been on and off gold at times, but I've had an account since the day the 360 launched. I think I missed out on XBL on my original Xbox because mine was modded and I used Xlink.

I was under the impression that they already gave out 10th anniversary consoles to some people who had been members since the start, but I hear a lot of people who were in the beta who didn't get one... first wave only maybe? Or was there never any given away before, and only through the giveaway are they giving them away?

Not sure what the cut off is for being considered an elite member. So my account would be 7 years old and 5 of those gold. Anyway, I finally got the email as well. Even if it's just a helmet, thanks MS!

Thanks for starting this Boz. When I got that email asking us do we remember when we joined Xbox, I seriously cried a little. So many things have happened in the world in those six years

This is a really nice you hnon their part, nice poster tho it leaves many important games and activities out.

How do you qualify as a veteran? Is six years enough?

Only been 4 years on Xbox Live (would of been 5 but let my gold subscription expire last year) just got an email saying thanks :) not that I contributed anything being a silver member mind you :laugh: it's all good (Y)

I've been a member for 6 years. Longer but I think I cancelled my old gamer tag a long time ago on the original box. I remember I used to make a fake "broadband" line from a narrowband (i.e. dialup) one because the console never did (nor does it even now) check how much bandwidth you have. I got an email from XBox Live Rewards as a "VIP Exclusive" item. I've been a member of the Rewards program since it started.

    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
