XBOX 360 Beta is out

hey, if you applied to get the new XBOX LIVE Beta, its out, and I just downloaded it. So if you got accepted, you will be asked to update your dashboard.

Yeah, I just got this too. I like the new achievement screen alot. What I don't like is the noise is makes when you invite people to your party or when people leave plays through your headset instead of your speakers.

man, i havent got to play with it yet, trying to help my buddy open his router ports

I got in the preview too and have noticed the marketplace seems to load faster. I have noticed when you select a game the "all downloads" and "get demo" buttons are ready almost immediately and then when you actually hit "all downloads" it seems to load a bit faster then before.

the speed of the marketplace used to really bug me but now it's not bad.

Just got the update a little while ago. So far, I've only visited the new avatar marketplace. That damn remote warthog seems attractive, I must resist the temptation!ForsakenWicked

I got it too. It's cool.

If you purchase an item or clothing from the new avatar marketplace,can people without the update see the item or clothing,or is it only available to view by otherpeople who have the preview update?

I updated console a couple days ago, but have not used anything new except for the rating system.

Cant wait for this guys keep the info coming :D

you can see your props with any xbox live account, for instance, I have the cotton swab, my buddy without the beta, will be able to see it...........but they are WAY overpriced. I havent tried the Netflix thing yet, also, I like the badge they give you for your xbox live account, mine says 4...and next month it will say 5 :-).....one thing that was mentioned, is, if you leave a party, the noise goes to the headphones, not through the speakers. This is why I pay 50 a year, to get cool stuff like this...nice touch XBOX

[QUOTE="LessThanMike"][QUOTE="vashkey"] It'd be amazing if everything weren't over priced. At least we have avatar awards to look forward to.charomid

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]

[QUOTE="Enraged_Bannana"] aren't the avatar awards from achievements? if so will i get the awards from achievements i already have?Enraged_Bannana

I'm sorry, i havn't been on or near anything related to my 360 for a couple of months, so could any explain to me what the hell you guys are on about? Thanks :Dsamo3000

On Gamespot, they had a link where you could sign up to be part of the new NXA Beta update that comes out soon. Its an update that allows for you to use props, or, watch movies with friends, via netflix, and other sorts, its pretty neat. The dashboard still looks the same, but it has more options then previously.
