Microsoft made some noise earlier last week by detailing the next NXE update and mentioning that people could sign up to get into a preview in the future. Well, that future is here. Just like the spring preview, Microsoft will be selecting people to check out this update early based on a survey available now through the Microsoft Connect Web site.

According to Major Nelson, Microsoft will be selecting “a good cross-section” of Xbox LIVE members in order to get the “best feedback.” Microsoft is looking for thousands of people to participate across all regions served and across the two forms of Xbox LIVE membership. Yes, Silver people are still worth something, apparently.

If you're wondering, this update won't have the cool stuff: Twitter, Facebook, and Last.FM integration. This update is packing Netflix tweaks and the highly-anticipated Avatar Marketplace.

As Nelson notes, if you're accepted, Microsoft will let you know within a week. Good luck (if you're into this kind of thing).
