From Major Nelson

Instead of adding another 10,000 people to the preview program like we did last week, we've decided to do something a little different: everyone who successfully applied to the preview program (and had a valid console ID) will be getting the New Xbox Experience sometime within the next few hours. That's right we're hooking everyone else up with NXE a bit early. If you signed up and are not prompted, that means you did not enter your console ID properly and you'll have to wait until Wednesday.

Larry sent a video out at around 6pm GMT saying '14 hours til the NXE', so thats Wed. 19th around 8AM GMT. Which will be Midnight in some timezones in the USA.

I'm slightly mad about this, I signed up for this ages but I must of put my serial number in wrong, pity really but it's just a day I suppose. If anyone could get some confirmation of the release time then you'll have some reputation coming your way.

[CJW93]

Your going to get it before school then?

[newWORLDorder]

I am not in school til 1pm so I am going to get up at 8:30 and see if its up, if so ima see what its like.

[CJW93]

Im bored so im on the phone to them now questioning them about the nxe release time

[newWORLDorder]

Serious??

Thats bad that.. it will be released around midnight US time, 8am GMT.. Major Nelson said so fgs.

[CJW93]

[newWORLDorder]

He (Major Nelson, Xbox Staff) says NXE is launching in 14 HOURS FROM NOW.

That was 10/11am. So the NXE is out between 8am-9am BRITISH TIME

[newWORLDorder]

Ah, I presume MS is releasing it between various times in various timezones? Makes sense.

Some of you make way too much of a big deal out of it xD
It's only a dashboard update, you'll barely spend any amount of time even looking at it when you're on the xbox

Actually I know a few people who use it for Media streaming or viewing, I do actually spend a lot of time on the Dashboard.
