I know that many of you are excited to get your hands on the New Xbox Experience, which will go live all Xbox LIVE regions wide on November 19th. Well, we’re just as excited to as you are so I am happy to announce that I’ve been working on a little project that I think may interested you.

Working with various teams across Xbox, we’ve developed a program to allow a select few of you early access to NXE. How do you get chosen? The first step is to head on over to Microsoft Connect, sign in with your Windows LIVE ID and join the "Xbox 360 Fall 2008 Preview Program" by clicking on this link, https://connect.microsoft.com/InvitationUse.aspx?ProgramID=2631&InvitationID=XBOX-G37M-QYWQ&SiteID=719.

Once you do that, you need to fill out the "Xbox 360 Fall Flash 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 LIVE Service 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 a few thousand 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 NXE. We’ll be making final selections from from the completed surveys.

  • 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.

Good luck!


I've already signed up, I encourage anyone that's interested do the same. You never know, maybe some of us will get in.

Same here. I'm game -- but I think they're specifically choosing who gets in because of network and stuff. I'll bet you a bunch of Xbox MVP's will get a look at it earlier too! Regardless, I can't wait for this.... the NXE is probably the coolest thing out of the 360 itself so far in it's lifecycle.

Just listened to Larry's NXE Preview Program Podcast (say that 5 times fast), and it's quite infromative.... you might want to listen to it! :)

I Signed up for MS Connect but couldn't get the link to work. Kept saying Invalid ID. Upon searching, I still found nothing. Hmmm. Maybe they pulled it already?

Alright, well the emails are being sent out to those who were selected. So for everyone that signed up, check your email over the next couple hours.

PS: So far, for me, no luck... :(

Doesn't look like I got in... oh well, it's only 3 weeks away. Anyone else have any luck?

PS: If you did get accepted, the update won't happen for a couple of days. Just check your email for an acceptance from Microsoft Connect.

Darn, I missed out on this but I did see some footage of it that someone posted on youtube. I have to say that it looks pretty slick, I was a bit skeptic at first but I think I can warm up to the avatars and all of the new junk!
Can't wait for 8 person chat, finally!
