Yes.
I got a free game out of it.
Sure it was Halo: Reach and I used it as a coaster, but hey, it was free!

Really, you get a free game out of it?
Maybe I'll do it. My xbox is only going to be hooked up to the internet for a couple more weeks anyway, so this might be my last chance.

I'm pretty sure if it bricks your console MS will take care of it. I'm on lucky number 17 and haven't spent a dime minus initial purchase.
I'm actually hoping a little that this bricks my xbox. It's nearing the end of it's 3 year warranty, and I'd rather take my chances with microsoft sending me a new one than having an uninsured xbox.
I honestly kinda wish it would brick mine. I want a newer model cause mine is acting funny. So off to the sign-in I go! =P
@llort het
I'm assuming by agreeing to the Terms of Service they won't replace your Xbox if it becomes inoperable. Might want to read it over just in case =)

Yeah I thoguht that even if they did refuse to replace xboxes that were bricked by the preview, it would be a perfect opportunity to use a towel and artificially induce red ring and send it in anyway.
Realistically though the odds of any of this is happening is very unlikely. I can dream though

Apparently some people here have never heard of digital software distribution legal terms. Every single piece of software you download, PC or Console or otherwise, must include a clause that absolves any liability if you have a freak accident and something happens to your hardware.

@llort het: I've actually gotten several games/rewards from trying out the Microsoft Preview Program over the years. There is absolutely no reason anyone shouldn't apply for it.
@VolksONER: Hot damn! I was on number 4 when I decided to get a new Slim. So 5 is where I stood/stand now!

Well, I do like free games...
But I really don't want to hassle through a red ring / buy a shiny new Xbox. I'm out of warranty now and rebuying old hardware... hnnngggh! do not want to >:(

Might be a dumb question but how exactly do you get a free game outta this? I didn't see anything about it.
That copy of Halo Reach was sent to public preview members as a test for the now-current disc format for the X360, which can store 7.5GB versus the original's 6.4 or so.
@J Dizzly
They haven't announced anything yet, but usually by the end, they give something out. With the disc format one, you either got the update by downloading it over Live, or off the Reach disc. Everyone got the disc (And hopefully they GoD version now) but at the end of it, they sent out codes for the flaming Mark V (ODST) helmet for avatars that was a pre-order bonus for the Noble Map pack for Reach.

Hell, I'm hoping it bricks my console. It's been acting kind of jankey the last few weeks, and a free replacement would be nice.
Dear Microsoft, stop changing the dashboard every time you get drunk and come up with a new idea. The blades are still superior to this "let's put ads everywhere" garbage.
@Kanten
Blades had ads on 2 of the 5 blades as well. If they had added Social blades and such it would probably have gone the same way with the increase of ads.

Dont expect a free game this time. The only reason they sent us Halo: Reach was because it was on their new disc format that adds an extra gig or two of space per disc, so they had to test it in a gaming situation with a couple thousand people to make sure it worked.
This will be a software only update, but I am signing up anyway. MS actually does send you shit from time to time and lets you in on other closed betas if you participate in a bunch of preview programs. Which is actually kinda cool.

I was ready to sign my console away. I do not want to go through all that crap of repairing it again.
@Sir Tobbii
Or Microsoft could have had the shocking revelation that the Xbox 360 can be used to play games.

They do make their beta programs worthwhile. I got a free Kinect sensor the last time I did testing for them.
