DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 28, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2006 Nice. Thanks for spreading the info. I was accepted as well. (Y) I will see everyone else who gets accepted in the Beta when it launches in Mid December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Booyah! (Y) Also got in, thanks :woot: Edit: Also important to note, this does not guarantee you a spot in the beta, this just enters you into the pool of potential testers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 It's important to note that this isn't just for 360, so perhaps this thread should be moved? Also, you're not automatically accepted even if you complete the registration all the way through: Please note that your completed application and registration to the forums does not guarantee your enrollment into the Shadowrun beta. To verify, if you click on "My Participations" the "Program" is Shadowrun Beta Selection Process, keywords being Selection Process. It's not just Shadowrun Beta... but I do hope everyone gets in, it seems like a large scale beta and as long as you signed up today I'd say it's safe to assume that you're in. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan_X Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 It's important to note that this isn't just for 360, so perhaps this thread should be moved? not really, if you go to the official SR forums you'll find a post from the beta manager saying the beta is 360 only ATM. and I'm quite sure this has a lot to do with security as FASA doesn't want the PC version running rampant across the P2P networks, so, you can expect the beta of the PC version to be very limited. :happy: :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dnast Subscriber² Posted November 28, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks! :) Just a heads up: When I tried signing up with Firefox I got an error at the end after filling out all the info, so I tried it again with IE and got a totally different questionnaire and was able to get in. I should've known better than to use FF on a MS site. Now they'll probably deny my app. :/ :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocstar Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Cool I signed up for the forums and everything.

+dnast Subscriber² Posted November 28, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted November 28, 2006 you know how theres no empty space under your signatures? well mine has empty space how do I take that away and just have my gamertag sig there? It's fine. You just need longer posts. Your user info in the left panel is simply longer (vertically) than the content of your posts. The extra space is because both sides have to line up since the threads are displayed in a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
