Installation

Hi guys, so today I'm going to show you how to get the autumn 2012 Beta Dashboard Update
This is pretty simple and requires no USB, JTAG, or hacked xbox.
First what you want to do is visit this site
(Click --- >Microsoft Connect) and sign in with your Xbox Live Account.
Once you've done that, simply hit next and then fill in the page. You only need to create a display name and agree to the terms and conditions.
You'll need to keep going through a few pages then you'll get to a survey (Not anything like share cash, just a few questions about your xbox, gamertag, etc.).
Once you've finished that and have gone to the next page, on the left you'll see a quick link to 'Product Keys'. Go ahead and click that.
Once you've done that, click 'Request new product key' and a new product key should be available below. To view the key itself, just hit 'Get Key' and it'll appear on your screen.
Once you've got the code, redeem the code on your xbox!



I've heard some people sometimes have problems with redeeming dashboard beta updates on their xbox, if you're one of these people, go to xbox.com and redeem the code on your account. Once you've done that, it should be in your Active downloads over on your xbox Once it's downloaded, run the app, follow the steps on screen and you'll now have the beta dashboard update.


News

Apparently your excitement for this fall's Xbox 360 Dashboard update beta was so great that Microsoft caved to demand and reopened its gates for 500,000 more participants. That's at least according to an Engadget tipster, though Microsoft's Major Nelson is only saying that the program is open to more testers this time than in its first round.

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.

Xbox 360 Dashboard beta for Fall 2012 update:
Internet Explorer for Xbox
Recommendations and ratings
Pinning and favorites
Enhanced category search and discovery features
Voice search (in specified markets)
