Xbox 360 Preview Program

[Oleh]

Who got onto it?

Its pretty good so far

I can see several features just browsing - ive been got member for 4 years, I see theres avatar clothes marketplace and awards (clothes suck i thought they would be clothes from games not just t-shirts n stuff with logos on), Friends list sorting is okish, i see i have completed 6 games (sucky) theres some features im yet to experience since i got off holiday and hour ago (i am baffled about my wireless controllers not working any help there?)

all's good in the hood, Game dont have a replacement resident evil 5 xbox to give me, they offered me an elite or a refund, i picked refund teehee :), just gotta find out why both my wireless controllers dont seem to want to power on :)

yeah, i'm in it. it's alright. i love the party re-connecting feature

Cool, how do you get into it?

[Coding]

You had to apply to Microsoft Connect, you can't apply now though I think it's closed.

[Oleh]

Well you had to sign up on the microsoft site, they choose so many thousand from each country to test it.

Does it get released 11th August?

[Oleh]

Well i heard theres a gamerscore reset on that date, so i think it is, seeing as the resets are normally when dash updates are

gamerscore reset?!?!?
r u joking
cos if there is den that defeats the point in gamerscore

[Oleh]

No, microsoft are set to reset more than 140,000 gamertags due to gamerscore modding

[GoldenMerc]

oo
that sounds decenttt

[Octagon]

They do Gamerscore resets every other day, not just a big mass one, if its mass its very rare.

The update is ok, the only feature I have used a lot is the slightly re-designed Primetime channel and the Party re-connects.

Its good though, Avatar Marketplace costs a fair bit, props rock though.

That would never happen, they won't just decide one day to reset everyones gamerscore.

[J0SH]

Lol crap, My mate glitched me 1200 on Fallout 3. Lol guess I will be down to zero lmao. I got the new update for the dashboard by downloading then putting it on a memory stick ect. But it only says I have been a live member for 1 year, when I have been a gold member for 2 :(

[Oleh]

probably not exactly 2 maybe 1 and a bit? i wish it said the full live time mine would be like 7 years

[CJW93]

Might not be fully working as it is just a preview.

[PaulMacC]

I got GS on Fallout but it was with console command on PC, that doesnt count as glitching, right?

[Oleh]

If it was built into the game, then i assume not

[PaulMacC]

I got the new dashboard yesterday, downloaded it, put on USB and done.

[Oleh]

and now you have a high chance of being glitched :), theres a glitch if you update it (the one you download) where you get banned from gold live

[Neil]

Might aswell just wait, it's probably missing features and it comes out properly on the 14th or something anyway. xD

[Oleh]

11th :) there arn't really anything missing , facebook isnt till later on , games on demand are here :)

[Simmzay]

So it's out tomorrow?

[Oleh]

Yes its out now :)

[Simmzay]

Games on demand is a great idea. Might buy myself a bigger HDD.

[Oleh]

£20 is to much to be honest

[Shoovers]

Some of the clothes on the avatar marketplace look alright but the prices are stupid. 400 ms points for a lightsaber, whats that? Like £5 for something you cant do anything with. Complete rip-off

[Simmzay]

Sounds a bit like Habbo, lol.

[Oleh]

I only spent what i had left over from cod map packs
