Jeez silver service got in before Gold?

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.

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/

I feel like Hitler in that movie, where he's told he didn't get in the NXE preview :cry:

Don't worry, I'm sure that's in the process of getting made now :p

I didn't get in either.

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.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
