Xbox 360 System Update Preview


Recommended Posts

Nice to see where this topic has headed, jeez.

Anyway, its pretty cool that they can make up that space, I've always wondered why not that they used some space for their security measures, but why so much.

I'm sure some developers will be happy having that extra bit of space to work with.

Let's not start a 360 vs PS3 war please, keep that to the official threads.

Or just no threads, lol.

Thank you for your interest in the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program. Regrettably, you were not selected to participate in this round of the Xbox Preview Program. We encourage you to look for future program opportunities and hope that you will register at that time for another chance to participate.

I think I got in

Welcome to the Xbox LIVE Update Program

We appreciate your interest and support in helping us to test out the latest updates. This is an important update as we continually strive to improve our products and we could not do so without the help of our great Xbox community.

As part of the preview program, you will receive a copy of Halo: Reach. The next obvious question is, WHEN? Please be patient and check back on this site regularly, as we nail down the logistics for disc distribution, updated information will be provided via this site on when you can expect to receive your copy.

If you were in the program previously you will notice a few changes on the navigation available on our Connect site. Same basic structure, but primary navigation is available by clicking on the Xbox LIVE Update Home link on the upper left-hand navigation of this page. At the bottom of that page you will see all relevant program information.

Didn't get an e-mail yet either, and no update on the Connect site, other than it being in my Dashboard. That displays the "Welcome" message Neo003 gave. Not sure that means we're in, though.

Edit: Actually, if it says we're getting Halo: Reach, I'm guessing that does indeed mean we're in. Coolio.

Won?t be posting anything again related to this topic as for NDA.

I didn't received any email, I had to check connect.

Checked on the Connect site and I got the same message as you - hopefully this means i did get in. I wonder what they will place on the Halo: Reach disk that will fill up the extra gig they have (free dlc i hope!).

I didn't actually apply, I just thought I'd offer some honestly directed sympathy :rofl:

yea I know - you didn't qualify :p

side note: is http://rewards.xbox.com/ accessible to anyone else? I can't get in since early morning today.

Don't think I got an email yet (will have to check my spam folder), but I checked on the Connect site and it says I'm in! I've missed every other update opportunity before this one because I never had my console ID info, but this time I remembered. Ready for it to get started now!

When I check Group Membership in Connect I see this:

Group Membership - LIVE

Due to the nature of this update we will be splitting the Xbox LIVE Update Preview audience into two separate segments. This means we will have some unique scenarios associated to each group so that we can get the test coverage we are seeking for this update. On your console, once it is properly registered into the program you will be able to see the ?Xbox Beta Channel? and the first slot will also identify the AUDIENCE you are registered into.

Thks didn't see that before, maybe that was the purpose for "Xbox LIVE Labs" to check the internet throttling.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
