Beta testing for xbox

[Worthingite]

Just had an email about beta testing for the new Xbox Live with internet....is this legit? Is anyone else doing this??

 

[Worthingite]

It's legit. VERY legit. Just had to digitally sign a Non Disclosure thingy. I'm going to shut up about it now - but IT'S f***ing AWESOME!!!!

You get to try out news products and report on them before the general public

It's bloody good, I actually got the email 3 days ago, but I got the update on the xbox tonight, but I was scared of putting it on. I spoke to a friend of mine who's already done it and he said it was kosher......and dear god it is......Put it this way....I've just replied to this from my console. It has taken ages to write out though..

Pornhub doesn't work on it though

I'm back on the laptop now. Brilliant toy, but a bit of a pain in the arse to use without a keyboard.

Kinect voice recognition for typing?

Now that WOULD be a good idea!

In fairness I think that is built in, but I don't have a kinect so I can't comment!!

also, you can get a keypad keyboard thing that attaches to the controller.

I'm on this but haven't bothered turning on my box yet. Maybe I'll give it a go then..

Internet browsing on your xbox.. what's the point I sit with my laptop right next to me

I've got it too, if you go to the BETA slide on the dash board and go to the 'NEW FEATURES' box you can download a free game !
