Binnenkort krijgt de Xbox 360 weer een nieuwe Dashboard update met een hoop vernieuwingen en een heel nieuw uiterlijk. Maar voor het zo ver is moet Microsoft uiteraard wel test draaien en dat willen ze over jouw rug gaan doen. Want je kan je zelf nu opgeven om het dashboard te testen, maar daar zitten wel een aantal haken en ogen aan, want zo kan je niet meer met je vrienden voice chatten. Lees heel goed de links door voor je besluit om je aan te melden.

I am happy to announce that we're doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. The Preview Program will give you the chance to check out ESPN on Xbox LIVE, Zune music, Netflix search, the new Xbox LIVE dashboard, and new updates to Zune video and Family Settings on your Xbox 360*. Much like we did last year, you'll need to visit the Microsoft Connect site from this link and sign in with your Windows LIVE ID that is connected to your Xbox LIVE Gamertag. Once you complete the survey that is presented to you, the Connect site will notify you immediately if you've been accepted. A couple of points before you head off to register:

We're looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.

This is not for Kinect. You will not be receiving a Kinect sensor if you are chosen to participate.

This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.

To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information your provide.

While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.

I'll be sure to updated this post if the program fills up.

Sign up for the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program

Good luck!
