    From Major Nelson-

    I am happy to announce that we�re doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. Much like we did last year, you�ll need to visit the Microsoft Connect site from this link and sign in with your Windows LIVE ID that is connected to your Xbox LIVE Gamertag.

    Once you do that, you need to fill out the "Xbox LIVE Update Preview Sign Up" survey in order to be considered for receiving the Preview System Update. We're asking a few questions about where you live, your home network, ISP connection and a few other pieces of information. We are looking for a good cross-section of our members in order to get the best feedback we can.

    The Xbox team will then review all of the applications and if you�re selected we�ll send you an email notifying you of your acceptance in the program. A couple of points before you head off to register:


    We�re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good
    This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.
    Just completing the survey does not automatically get you access to the Preview Program. We�ll be making final selections from the completed surveys and send you an email if you are selected.
    While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.



    If you are accepted, you'll hear from us in about a week. Make sure your information on Connect is updated so we can email you if you are accepted. Also, I�ll be sure to updated/edit if the program fills up.



    Sign up for the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program



    Good luck!

    I wonder if anyone is going to give another KV out with this lol... Also this opens possibility for an offline leak of the update. I remember NXE consoles were going for as much as a dev a few months in advance of release.

    I have also signed up.


    Since there are only a few thousand people getting picked for this new dash, they probably will put watermarks in the downloads.

    Which means that if someone does leak it, microsoft will know who leaked it and ban them :(


    So if 2 people get picked from this site, we need to compare the new dash updates and check for any diferences. If there is no difference, there is no watermark. If there is a difference, we have to be careful who we leak it to :)

    I'd either sell it or give it to a trusted modder and see if they can get anything out of it, but that's just me. I wouldn't even check it out.
