Open Call, More Testers Welcome for 2012 Xbox LIVE Update Public Beta!
The amount of interest we received in July for the 2012 Xbox LIVE Update
Public Beta was so staggering that today we╞re announcing a second open call for Xbox LIVE subscribers to test out the beta program. I can tell you that we╞re accepting far more beta-testers this time around, but space is still limited and once the spots are filled the beta will be closed, so sign up today!
If you╞re selected, an update will be pushed to your Xbox 360 in the next few days. The update will contain new Xbox LIVE features, including:
Internet Explorer for Xbox
Recommendations and ratings
Pinning and favorites
Enhanced category search and discovery features
Voice search (in specified markets)
Note: A console in the program is expected to remain fully compatible with standard retail consoles not in the program.
If you would like to participate, please register for the 2012 Xbox LIVE
Update Beta here. You will be required to agree to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for confidentiality reasons. Any participant who violates the NDA will
be removed from this beta and all Xbox betas moving forward, and will not have access to Xbox LIVE until the end of this beta program period. Our NDA enforcement squad is really good at finding violators; so save us both the trouble and don╞t test them. We also ask that you fill out a brief 5-minute survey at the end of the beta to let us know what you think.
Your interest and passion in helping the Xbox team has been awesome and we╞re very excited to see the early feedback so that we can make Xbox even better. Thanks again for your participation and enjoy!
Update: Several users have reported an issue with accessing the registration link for this program ∙ keep trying √ there is a high demand on the site right now due to the popularity of the program.
