[update] New Xbox Dashboard preview now avaiable


Recommended Posts

Over the next few weeks? It's been over two weeks since this started! Seems to me that the only reason they're doing this is to have fewer consoles to update at once come the release day. It's a bit underwhelming :(

If the rumors are true the general release will be in 2 weeks so what's the point?

If you have a large enough group of people they'll only need 1 or 2 weeks of a preview to see if there are any major issues left. If there are any, well, they haven't announced a release date yet so they don't have to worry about delaying it. They'll just release it later. The preview isn't for you to have a good time getitng it way earlier than others, its to do a final stress test with a larger group of actual users. They probably aren't expecting any major issues and therefore don't need to allot much time to it.

Any news on this yet? They moved a lot quicker with the last preview program, once you were accepted it was like the first tuesday after you got immediate updates - we haven't even been asked for console id's yet.

Yeah, bummer.. nothing new :)

How is Spring TX? I grew up in North Hampton and went to Klein Oak HS down there :)

I tried to buy a house, twice, in Northampton and live 5 minutes from it :D

It's nice right now, but the summer was brutal.

Put the key in the xbox site, its queued, will have it downloaded when i get home. Hopefully ill get lucky like the last one and it update right away instead of the 3-5 days

It says that it's only recommended you redeem it on the console itself, hopefully it still works for you though.

Instructions: Redeem Code

Follow these instructions to redeem a code on your console. While there is a method to redeem the code via Xbox.com -- we highly recommend for this application you redeem it directly from your console per the instructions provided here.

yea i know it said recomend, but recomend is diffrent then required. so far worked fine. will find out when the update comes out

Doubtful. I don't think they'd give it at the end of the week. Likely early next week.

When I signed up it told me the update would be done in 1-2 business days...

    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
