It looks only SLIGHTLY different from what it looked like before the update so I can't imagine that the themes are screwed up. In fact I think this might give you a slightly better view.

@nick Does the search function for Netflix work with a USB keyboard or Chatpad, or do I have to use the slider up top?
I can't see the video...will my Premium Themes work?
Because I just bought the Castlevania theme, and don't want it to have been a waste of $3. Along with the other 4-5 I've bought.

I signed up and got accepted as well, but I guess Dtoid got advance access.
Please give word as soon as we can download it though :)

For the people who got accepted... I'll just copy-paste this comment I found on Major Nelson's blog which was helpful:
"I am going to guess this starts either on the first, the fourth, or the sixth.
As for all the questions about when it's starting, it says and I quote "The program will officially start within the next two weeks."
Key word being WITHIN! This means that it can start any ware from September 22ed to October 6th.
Most likely, it will be in waves, but more likely hourly or daily waves for the initial accepted people. Then, if they decide to add more, or re-open the registration, it will be in weekly waves.
This is coming from my previous experiences with the XBox LIVE Dashboard Preview programs.
In addition, I think they are adding an additional check sum to this update, simply because of the start up animation being changed. After all, I don't think MS wants to risk a corrupt flashing.
Look on Youtube, and you will see it."
tl:dr It seems that some people MIGHT be getting the update at different times.

@falesnipple:
I just checked for you and yes, the chatpad works for searching. Great news, if you ask me.
For everyone asking, and I think this was answered already, but the updates for the public aren't out just yet. They were SUPPOSED to be coming today. I received access about a week ago.

Some of the stuff I saw in your video will maybe not be available for me (since I live in Germany), but I like the new Avatar. It looks now more adult than before ^^
I was hoping the new update would include the Destination Arcade searching/filtering stuff as a standard option for browsing XBLA games, without having to boot up a dedicated app.
All of the avatar marketplace and avatar awards stuff doesn't work right now. Awesome, since I bought an Ezio outfit yesterday night...
So the arc at the center of the screen is now a straight line? That's just super terrific...ly underwhelming.Why not give us a feature to ditch the obstruction altogether? It's funny to put wallpaper pictures of characters nude from the waist down on the dash so they will have their genitals concealed by the semi-circle/flat plane, but the charm is wearing off.
Microsoft should also put a browser with a search feature on the dashboard itself, not just on Netflix. It's as if they want the Playstation 3 to have more advantages over the 360.
Of all of the changes, I guess that, oddly enough, the changes to the Avatars might concern me the most now that they will be playing a bigger role in the games themself now with Kinect coming down the line and a few XBox Live arcade games here and there.
If the old gear won't work, will the items that players unlocked have to be re-jiggered by the developers or re-earned? It's worse for those who actually paid money for them.(Whew! It's a good thing that I didn't splurge on that Miranda outfit!) Maybe they can get Microsoft points towards some other DLC content to help them forget this inconvenience...I mean injustice.

I'm actually liking what I'm seeing, a lot more streamlined then the current dashboard, looks like you can access what you want much faster now. And avatars look slightly less cartoonish now which is kinda cool I guess.
No streaming iCarly is a crime, they can't expect you to wait 2 days to receive your tween hijinks on a disc! You gotta have that shit right now!

If my avatar clothings don't fit anymore after this update im gonna be piiiiiissed. I swear to god microsoft ive never held anything against you but this... this is unforgivable. I better see a year of free xbox live you sons of bitches. rage.
Hmm. I have both consoles, but the navigation reminds me a lot of XMB now. Only difference is the icons are bigger.. Still, I'll be getting this update the moment it's public, as it looks pretty awesome :)
I turn on my xbox 360 and it updated to this dashboard version, the sad thing is... I'm not in the US and I don't know if I can go to microsoft local store and ask for a kinect sensor, cause the beta features requires this device (kinect viewer and the viva piņata sound thing). Somebody knows if this is posible?
Zune Pass is pretty cool, actually. You get the streaming subscription option, but you also get 10 mp3,drm free song credits to use on the zune software for windows.
The only good thing I'd say is ESPN and the improved aesthetics, but being outside the US pretty much the only thing myself and others are going to benefit from this is improved aesthetics.
