Hey there good lookin'. Desperate to get early access to the upcoming social networking dashboard update for Xbox 360? Today is your lucky day -- sign-ups for the preview program are currently open.
Both Gold and Silver Xbox LIVE members are eligible, although you'll need to have Gold if you want to try out the Facebook or Twitter functionality; otherwise, you can just play around with the new Zune features.
To get in, you need to take a quick survey. Make sure to use the Windows LIVE ID connected to your XBL account, otherwise bad things will happen. Very bad things indeed. Those who make it through successfully can expect an email in about a week.
Good luck!

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I haven't got my console in front of me at the minute, so I'll pass this time. It's probably first come first served.
Pass.
Especially since this update is essentially the guinea pig lot.
anyway. are twatter and facebook only gonna be for gold members? if so, i will officially never buy another microsoft product.
If your console is from a region that supports it and you're subscribed to a Gold account, the Xbox has no way of knowing where you are. I have a friend in Japan that piggybacked on my Netflix account for over a year until his system RROD for other reasons.
I never minded paying for Gold, but it bugged me when I got my buddy a used 360. He's had fun playing Fallout 3 and stuff, but he really didn't want to pay extra just so we could play some game together online, even if it was just occasionally playing some Arcade board game or something, since we could do the same thing for free ANYWHERE ELSE. And I was like, "Yeah, why should he?"
I don't own a PS3 but I'm hoping it starts doing REALLY well and adding more features like the cross-game chat, so just maybe (though unlikely) MS will reconsider the business model of Live.
