Well I didn't get the loser email but I did get all of the other emails along the way so my info has to be correct

Flay - if there is a way we can work this out - I'll hook you up.

That would be great! My email is [email protected]. I've got games for all 3 systems if you want to trade: http://www.videogametracker.com/~flay

Or I can just pay you for it. Let me know your asking price whenever you get the email to enter the Beta.

The only problem I can forsee is that MS will keep emailing you about the Beta. I really wouldn't be able to partcipate in Beta questions. Either ignore them or I can relay information back to you if you wanted to answer them.

Everything else will be fine. I would enter in my own registration number and credit card number during the actual account signup on my XBox. Nothing would ever be charged back to you.

I'm in. Though a buddy of mine didn't make it in. He answered the surveys the same way I did. The only difference was that he never registered his xbox. I'm not sure if that was a factor in their decision process.

For those that didn't get selected, did you register your xbox ?

I got the acceptance email but I have not received a link yet. Has anyone not been able to register yet who is in Phase 1. Should I email them or just wait awhile

I still have not registered my xbox, and I'm about to order the kit!
:) :) :D :) :)

I guess that rules out that theory.

Here's a question for you....


I have an internal DSL modem in my computer. Since my DSL is not the "always on" kind (it's way cheaper for me that way), this means my computer has to actually "dial-up". I'm assuming I'll have to get a router to go out of my computer and into the XBOX.

Will this work for XBOX live and any idea if this will cut into my speed?

I don't want to pay and bunch of $ for it and then have to spend a bunch more to upgrade myself to a decent playing level.

Thanks

Yea it should work. Assuming you are getting at least a decent amount of bandwidth, like over 200kbs or so.

OK I never got the third email. Is there a certain address where I can see if I got picked? The people who got picked could you send your link, and I can see if I can alter it for my email address if that's possible?

Sounds good Flay. I'll let you know as I do.

This sucks. I haven't gotten any emails yesterday or today about it. Also, despite having registered my xbox previously, it doesn't show up on the page at all -- but if I try to register it, it tells me it's already in the system.

oh well. I do have a lot of other games to play still.

Woo-hoo, I'm in! the only thing is I originally signed up a long time ago with my old email address, which, in theory, could be shut down at any second - and the XBox website won't let me change my email address to my current one. I got the email that says:

We'll be sending you a link to sign up and subscribe within the next 30 days.

Hopefully my email addy doesn't get shut down before then.

I wanted to go online during the beta period of XBox Live as well but oh well...can't have everything I guess :(
