That's at least according to an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/21/psa-xbox-360-dashboard-beta-re-opens-offers-500-000-more-slots/">Engadget</a> tipster, though Microsoft's <a href="http://majornelson.com/2012/08/21/open-call-more-testers-welcome-for-2012-xbox-live-update-public-beta/">Major Nelson</a> is only saying that the program is open to more testers this time than in its first round.<br /><br />Like in the previous round, once the signups are closed, they're closed, so get your name in while the getting's good! If accepted, you'll get access to Internet Explorer's Xbox 360 version, enhanced search functionality, and bragging rights that you were in the beta "before it was cool." Full beta features are below the break.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/21/xbox-live-dashboard-beta-re-opens-to-second-round-of-entrants/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Xbox Live Dashboard beta re-opens to second round of entrants</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/21/xbox-live-dashboard-beta-re-opens-to-second-round-of-entrants/">Xbox Live Dashboard beta re-opens to second round of entrants</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:30:00 EST.
