I got it too!
When I stupidly answered the question that my Xbox wasn't close to my router, I thought I was done for.
I have since moved everything and can't wait to test this!

I just got this email:
Thanks for waiting to participate in the beta. The response exceeded 100,000.
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.
In the meantime, check out http://www.xbox.com/live/ for the latest news and updates on Xbox™ Live. Or, copy and paste the link into your browser.
Thanks again for your desire to participate in the beta and you will hear from us soon.

So it seems like they might not be done with the selection yet.

I didn't get picked, and haven't even got the runner up email bummer. If anyone doesn't want to use their beta spot you could forward me the email, so it won't go to waste.
