Xbox Live beta sign-ups starting soon

4.3
Microsoft will begin sign-ups shortly for the Xbox 360 Public Beta, which will include updates to the system, with one of them hopefully being a reduction in boot-up time for the system. There's no specificity to what updates the beta will add beyond improving overall performance and the ability to conduct transaction in local currency. Microsoft announced at E3 it was retiring Microsoft Points this year.

"Unlike our previous beta programs, sign up is now accessed directly through your Xbox 360 console to streamline the experience," wrote Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb on his site. "Space is limited, so once the spots are filled the beta will be closed to the public."

To sign up, look for the Xbox Beta Program on the home hub of the Xbox dashboard. There will be a non-disclosure agreement to sign and more information should be accessible at the Beta FAQ (not working as of this posting).

2014 For some reason the option is not available for me (as in it's still not showing up). Any Help?


They usually swap around per hours for me, try turning off your Xbox and turning it back on.

I doubt I'll take part in it.

I have a feeling it's not going to be a huge change and there is nothing wrong with the Xbox live now.
