You shouldn't be excited about this update since it won't work on your Wii anyways. Go away troll!

I guess if you have no friends on xbox live you wouldnt care about the new party system and multi-user chat?

Woot I'm in, I got in from two places, USAToday was running a thing, got in there and this. But USAToday had problems we were supposed to get it a few days ago but now their just batching those winners with this.

True Dat. I told a friend about it, and he gets the hook up. I'm left hanging for a whole 5 more days.

It should hold. They loaded most of the prep work for it months ago. It took me no longer than 10 seconds to receive the update.

Ain't that just great. I said screw it and illegally installed the beta yesterday, and then last night I get an invite. Anybody notice the irony in that? Hopefully this means they will enable my live again, but I'm thinking since I did something illegal my live will still be disabled until the 19th.

most likely you'll just be able to take the console online again after 5 pm Eastern time today. As far as I understand the way it works, you shouldn't be penalized for having it early.

These three waves have just been a tease for people like me. I have been rejected not once, not twice, three times! Makes me wonder if I am even going to get it on the 19th.

They should have just waited until Saturday or Sunday, and said, "Everyone who applied for the early admission, you get it Sunday night!" All would be happy, at least those who applied.

man the same crap happened to me. my 360 red ringed right after i filled out the survey for this. i called up xbox and since i gave them my console ID to my old system i won't be able to just use my roommate's 360 with my hard drive on it to get the update. well i could but i would be banned from xbox live for a week. lame.....

So like yeah, got the email last night and should be good by this afternoon. I am looking forward to checking out the netflix portion more than anything else. I would like to load games on the harddrive, but that would require getting a new one. By the way, if I were to get a new one today, should I expect any issues running the new dashboard?

Im in! I thought i would have to wait until next week because, lets face it, the UK isnt first to get anything. Actually, if you live in london like me your first to get taxed/charged for all sorts of crap.

I did that and it says I am in, but I did not get an email (I checked junk folders, etc). When should it download? Has it already? Maybe my MS connect thing is wrong.

The download starts at 5pm EST. I doubt MS Connect is wrong. I checked it before when the other waves came out and I couldn't view it, but now I can, so I think we were accepted; just the emails are slow (that's what I hear from the other posters at Connect).
Still I might just be getting a lot of people's hopes up, but I think there's a good chance we'll get the download.

I'm going to call BS on Major Nelson and his famous "There's a good chance you'll get in" line. No, there wasn't. Without that key line, I think there would not be nearly as many POed people. Especially since rounds 2 and 3 had 10000 each, and Major's original post said he figured out a few thousand would even APPLY.
Yeah, I know its crying over spilled milk, but if you're going to hype the early release as a "treat" to the community, come through and actually offer it up. I'll wager there are quite a few folks who got it, and won't be firing up the 360s for a while, even without RROD issues - they just had a friend tell them to apply and they got lucky.
Rant over

Didn't get in the third wave, but got in the USA Today and so I hopefully will get it tonight.
