[murphy55d]

This is the first time I've ever been picked for anything like this.

 

[mpitts]

Well congrats. Being a fellow hockey/Wings fan, I think you deserve it.

 

[dakata24]

wish i could afford a x-box..

 

[geoff2k]

I have a friend who got 4 of his buddies to sign up with him -- all four of them got in, he didn't. He's WAY pissed.

I just got an e-mail that said I'm at the top of the list and they'll let me know by 9/20.

I guess it would help if I had an Xbox as that stuff would be kinda useless to me without one...

 

[FatAlbo]

Got the same e-mail as fr.

 

[dude8604]

Where do you sign up?

 

[Soulflare]

Just got the same message as FR and FatAlbo...


"We wanted to let you know we plan to send you an email no later than September 20th
regarding your status to potentially be included in our beta test program.

You're at the top of our pre-registration list for our ongoing beta program. So you'll be the
first to create a Gamertag and the first to know when it's time to get in this incredibly
intense, high-speed gaming experience. That means you can start creating a rep before
most."

 

[Smolek]

No one else in the first wave (this week)?

 

[Narse]

I just did the reg to get it, we will see

Same here, just signed up. Maybe I shoulda put something other than HALO as my favorite game.. you know, so they would actually pick me because I'm different and would beta'ing something other than that genre most ppl prob picked. Damn I can't go back and change it, now can I?

[lowlevel]

Yep! I got in too!

The cynic in me has a real hard time with the fact that we're paying $50 up front for a year's subscription to a service that we haven't even experienced yet, but I guess between the headset, memory module (I don't have one yet anyway), and the possiblity of free software, I was able to rationalize it!

Any other first-wavers wanna add each other to that "BuddyList" feature Xbox Live has so we can play against each other? murphy55d??? Smolek??? Whaddaya say, guys?



LMK!
