Microsoft opens up more places on Xbox LIVE Update beta

4.7
Microsoft will expand the closed beta of the 2012 Xbox Live update with a new round of testers in the coming weeks.

The platform holder has re-opened the application page for entry into the beta, but numbers will still be limited so don't hang around.
The beta first opened up in July when MS took in the first round of volunteers to test out a pre-release version of the new dashboard features set for arrival later this year.

The beta includes an early look at:

- Internet Explorer for Xbox

- Recommendations and ratings

- Pinning and favorites

- Enhanced category search and discovery features

- Voice search (in specified markets)

zeke157 so just wonderin, regarding internet explorer, have/will they be making restrictions to it? As in what you can search/browse, will some sites be blocked pretty much?


I would've thought harmful websites will have a filter on them yeah, other than that i think youll have the choice of High, Med, Low filtering options


They dont block sites, but there is no adobe flash, so no porn for you :,(
