NXE Sign-up [Now Closed]

[Dirk]

No luck. :(

[Rahul]

Jeez silver service got in before Gold?

Well you do get some perks when you are sexed up like me ;)

[DigitalE]

Well, I didn't make it in either.

What a joke.

[Watters]

What a joke I'm not in either.

[Dirk]

Apparently hardly and I mean hardly anyone from the USA got in.

Well they wanted a wide range of users.

and him being indian probably put him quite up there. Gold subscribers got preferential treatment if there where two peopl with uniquely desireable "traits" and one wa silver and one was gold. Maybe there wasn't a lot of gold subssribers in India that applied, afterall it was mostly nightime there I think.

How did I miss the signup for this? Ah well, guess I'll have to wait a few more weeks :dontgetit:

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

shame that i didnt get in, was hoping to remove the PC from under the TV that is used only for Netflix, been gold yearly subscriber for years

[DigitalE]

They should have just made it Gold only :hmmm:

[BajiRav]

Didn't make it either. :( But it's just few more weeks. I will survive. ;)

Gold and USA.

[spenser.d]

Damn. Didn't get in. Oh well. Just another three weeks. Or I could say a week and two days because GoW2 will come out and I'll forget about NXE until it comes out :p

Yes and I realize that but I would have just thought since the majority of 360 XBL users are gold, they would have maybe a 75/25 thing going on.

You guys who got accepted, when you get the preview let us know how it is.

But specifically someone let ME know how the hard drive option is?

Like the "install to hd" for games.

If thats still there and if it works good enough to the fact where it loads the game with the cd in but has everything on the hd, this way i can take the cd out in the middle of the process so all the stuff on the hd(besides the disc verification, thats why the disc is needed to start first) can run and I can have a NOT A LEAF BLOWER DVD drive running loud.

You probably can't take the disc out without it resetting back to the dash, but it won't need to read from the disc at all if the data is copied to the HDD so there should be no noise.

It goes to the dashboard when you press the eject on your DVD. but it does not spin the dvd drive (only for a piracy check) so there's no reason to eject it anyway.

there is a movie here showing how it works http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-tour-new-xb...perience/17-88/

GameTrailers video of the NXE: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/42166.html

Still loading issues with avatar features (like you get with gamerpics now) and loading the friends list in the new guide... and that was without a game playing in the background, so I'm wondering just how much better the loading times will actually be...

Also, I hate the Wii-esque menu selection sounds.

I got mine this morning. I went to my old work email address rather than home so I would have had a nice surprise if I hadn't checked it. Bring on Saturday!!

I question the importance/usefulness of this preview program when the actual final release is only weeks away...

Find any last minute serious bugs. Either way it was poorly handled.
