Hi

You probably all know about this but head over to Major Nelson site and sign up for the preview program for Facebook Twitter and Zune.

iHelix · 14-10-2009, 21:32

Does this include last.fm?

theartist · 14-10-2009, 21:35

It did not mention Last.FM, just the three I mentioned in the first post...

jokiethjones · 14-10-2009, 22:04

Nice one thanks

Just did mine and Connect claims i'm Participating already lol

grabbi · 14-10-2009, 22:12

Guess Ill get signed up to this.

gavo360 · 15-10-2009, 06:45

Has anyone got in on a preview program in the past. Ive never bothered signing up in the past but im looking forward to facebook on 360 so i might give this one a go.

theartist · 15-10-2009, 08:36

I got on the last one, so it is possible, if you believe the Xbox people on Twitter there is loads of space for this one, so i would suggest signing up.

grabbi · 15-10-2009, 16:36

Yup. I was in the last one as well, for Avatar Marketplace. Was handy to have early and show off.

Plus, a forum opens up for you to post ideas and bugs and stuff which helps.

Ive signed up, anyway. With the varied answers in the survey and the fact some of us got accepted last time, Id presume that the same people would end up getting accepted again this time.

Red Arrow · 15-10-2009, 17:04

I think most people that signed up for the last one got in. They did it in stages so by the end of the preview period most people where in it.

grabbi · 15-10-2009, 19:43

I think wave updates like this are better. That way, if there is a problem being seen, they can stop the waves before it gets too much.

Imagine if they released one one day, and every console just crashed.

iHelix · 15-10-2009, 22:21

Signed up earlier today. It asked for the model number of my TV, but I'm not sure what it was so just inputted something that was on the back of the TV. I hope it doesn't make a difference.

grabbi · 15-10-2009, 22:44

It shouldnt. They just want to get a wide variety.

They usually have something the Manufacturers name, TV, inches, and something like a version number at the end.

Like, mines GTV42P4. Goodmans TV, 42 inch, P4 must be the version.

Octopus_Prime · 17-10-2009, 13:03

I've signed up so fingers crossed

& prepare to get your dodgy non microsoft hard drives & memory cards made useless early. (if you have them obviously).

grabbi · 18-10-2009, 20:24

Nope, looks like its just going to be the basic features. Status updates, photos, comments. Which is good because in my opinion as theyre annoying as hell

Leeham · 21-10-2009, 16:32

Hopefully I'll get the preview update, I already previewed the last one and was accepted pretty quickly onto the program. Good stuff, nice stable releases for the preview program

Why would you want to?? Those apps and quizzes and stuff are plagued with Spyware and Malware.

ToomaMcC · 21-10-2009, 17:28

Just read on Major Nelson's twitter that Halo Waypoint will be included in the preview. Sounding very good, just hope I get on.

Red Arrow · 23-10-2009, 06:51

I got the email as well. It states that they already have started to roll the update out to some consoles, anyone got it yet?

I'm about to head to work so not got a chance to check myself.

kingdave · 23-10-2009, 07:02
