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

I doubt there is any real technical reason for it, there was never any mention of it being a 'beta'. it has just been touted as a way for a few people to try it early, so i'd imagine it's just a stress test.

Well, 3000 participants is no where near the 10+ million people who'll be downloading the NXE when it launches officially. It's a way of creating more hype for it.

How was it poorly handled? :blink: There was a sign up that everyone had a chance to take part in. Can't make it much fairer than that..

Not true. Most of Europe was asleep during the signup period. Hardly fair. If they had the signups open for a full 24 hours, it would have been fair.

I agree, it was fair.

People had the chance to apply and were told the selection would be random.

I'm in EU and managed to sign up (Y)

If they had moved the time we'd hear complaints when US or AUS was asleep instead. There is never going to be a time that suited everyone. For all we know they planned to leave it running 24 hrs, it just so happens it reached the user limit long before that.

Not like it matters now, you can continue to cry over it if you want though.

Exactly, somebody would have complained no matter what MS would have done.

Who here expected any more to get in than did get in? All we said was that MN himself said there were a few thousand places while you claimed there was only 1000. Tens of thousands of people signed up, so it's no surprise that most of us didn't get in, but quite a few certainly did.

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/

O thanks bro.

I knew it was something like that, i forgot the eject button kicks it back to dashboard. But hey, as long as it doesnt spin the disc im ok.

Sucks for you 20 gigers, im running on 120 souly becuase my dvd drive is LOUD as HELL. A LEAF BLOWER.

So ill rather get the bigger hard drive.

Anyway, thats for the vid.

Got it installed & runnin , looks excellent , though the kiddy music doesnt go well with my pornstar image ;) . Installed Saints Row 2 to HD & it loads almost 60% faster.

all my old themes are useless now as they STRECH which screws up the background image. Id recon all the gamer pics are useless too as we shall be using avatars from now on.

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
