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.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
