It's the most major update released so far and even a Guitar Hero patch managed to brick the odd 360, to say that it's doubtful there'll be trouble is just asking for it.

Still, I'm confident Microsoft knows what they're doing, after all this is a software update and Microsoft knows more about software than anyone else on the planet, but I'd still expect the odd brick here and there.

So they wanted to get a fully representative sample, but only had it open for 10-12 hours when Europe was asleep? Really clever stuff...

Given it was the weekend I'm sure a very large number of UK people got through anyway. Sure it's not ideal for some people, but they have to draw a line some point. Those that stayed up late in the UK are lucky. Besides, for testing purposes they will be more than adequatly served by any other number of non US territories.

Does really suck for you guys yeah, but they would either have to really expanded the intake of users if they ran it over 24 hours or alternatively they'd have to turn a higher percentage of users who sign up away once they start accepting people. Neither ways especially ideal given they probably don't want too many people in the initial test.

At least this was global even if you happened to be asleep at the time. Certainly beats the US only rollouts and offers that happen often enough and they could have done that again.

Major Nelson added this to his post about the Preview Program:

-Spenser

That's the downside for me no longer goto a Xbox forum/Gaming forum all the time now.

Missing on the Important news like this.

It sucks! I really would love to have this preview!!!

Thats's BS, I didn't have a Connect account, and I signed up for 1 as soon as MN announced it. Microsoft never sent me an email back for the registration. Probably because I used a mac account as the email. Microsoft can be real **** some times >_>

For something like this that was closed in a matter of hours, I don't think they would send out mass emails.

People knew there would be some kind of signup after MN said last week and people still complain. Not sure this was too high on the priority list to make sure everybody had a crack at signing up.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
