Connect says I'm in, but no email yet... :shifty:

[DigitalE]

Stupid.

Again, nothing. Microsoft is sure good at turning off their real customers.

For those who are wondering, this is what you'll see on Connect when Microsoft skips you:

Alas! I got in! :D :D :woot:

Can't wait until tomorrow, 5pm EST! :D

[gigatexel]

Sweet, I finally got the email. :woot:

[BajiRav]

I didn't get in the first 2 waves, so I'm really not holding my breath for this one. They say the 3rd time's the charm, but I guess we'll see. I really want to get it too :(

I am with you :cry:

@Sikh

Get ready for those Halo load times to increase. ;)

[Sikh]

lol its not so much about load times for me man. I just want a quiet 360.

I hate it going. Even with it repaired, i can still hear it, against my computers dvd drive, its louder, so I would like it quiet.

Load times dont bother me.

[+Mystic MVC]

I'm glad a lot of people got in from Neowin this time around even if it is only a couple days early at this point.

[Sikh]

True it is only a few days away. But for those who get in, we are just that closer to creating our avatar, install games, and start enjoying it without worrying the major server lag come the 19th. You know how much that load will be? thats the only reason i signed up early, that and install hd. thats it.

Or i would of waited.

@Sikh

Get ready for those Halo load times to increase. ;)

... for single player. :p

[Rookas]

Well it looks like i didn't get in, which is surprising. I figured this time they would add everyone who signed up, but i guess not. Oh well, i've got too many new games to waste time on the dash anyway.

[Nightz]

i'm in :D

No, they had to let all the Silver members who signed up into the Preview program first, so the rest of us Gold members can get stuck in the server clog come the 19th.

[Sikh]

^ bro your wrong. They accepted both Silver and Gold. Im gold I got accepted. Many of the people that come into gamestop are gold and a few of my friends are. Only 2 out of all these people got accepted the first two times around. My friends that are silver, only 1 got accepted. But cant enjoy it becuase what is he gonna do? No gold ='s no multiplayer. So he just has the dash.

So, both got accepted, just different internet speeds, etc etc is what they looked at.

[Rookas]

Well I actually skimmed though my spam folder instead of just blindly emptying it, and while there was no email from xbox I'm happy to report that viagra is getting cheaper.

I'm on NXE already though (unofficially), I really really hope it lets me update :laugh:

Would be good timing (although 10pm is fairly late), as I'm having friends over tonight to play GHWT, and I really wanted to get online to check DLC.

Do you think it will be strict to the times it lists?
