    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 XboxLIVE 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!

    I can't seem to load the page anymore after 10 failed attempts to claim a code. It looks like the site has a lot of traffic on it so it's very slow. If it work's for you let me know.

    On Major Nelson's site, everyone is commenting on having the same issue. Look's like this isn't going to work for a bit.

    I hate Microsoft right now! I saw Major Nelson's post 45 seconds after he posted it and filled out the survey and got as far as the "Get Key" button and tried for over 2 hours to get in and I just kept getting error's. Now, it looks like there's no product key's available anymore :mad:.

    No I don't see it either. It said "Congratulations, you're in!" and never would load a product key. Now that option has disappeared on the left hand side. I did see this though...
    So it looks like as soon as the site traffic is reduced, they will release more.

    Can other people on your console with live still use it if they haven't signed up for the beta?
