Xbox live beta... did you get selected?

Post by James_E »

I guess I´m in... I got the following e-mail
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>"Today you have been chosen to play among the few. The connected. The Beta Testers.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>So what´s included in your Beta Starter Pack?
<BR>12 months of high-speed gaming starting at the end of the Beta, plus free play during the Beta.
<BR>Be one of the first to create a Gamertag and start building a rep.
<BR>Limited Edition Xbox™ Live Beta Starter Pack containing:
<BR>Xbox Communicator headset and module
<BR>Setup DVD
<BR>Handy reference guide
<BR>Games, including the prerelease, online-only version of NFL™ Fever 2003 - exclusively for Beta Testers.
<BR>Bragging rights - we told you from the very beginning that you´d get them. Well, here they are. So not only will you be able to boast about actually playing Live, you´ll be able to brag about actually helping build it.
<BR>
<BR>We?ll be sending you a link to sign up and subscribe within the next 30 days.
<BR>-Xbox Live Beta Selection Team"

<BR>Willing to share your opinions of Xbox Live and its features when you´re up and running?
<BR>
<BR>Let me know!
<BR>
<BR>Thanks,

Do you have to broadband or some type of high speed connection to be a beta tester?
<BR>
<BR>I only have the standard phone line.

<BR>There are three requirements to become a beta tester for Xbox Live:
<BR>
<BR>1. You need broadband. Xbox Live will accomodate only broadband connections, during both beta and full service.
<BR>
<BR>2. You need to apply to become a beta tester at www.xbox.com.
<BR>
<BR>3. Microsoft needs to select you as a beta tester.
<BR>
<BR>If you´re on dial-up, you´re SOL for any online gaming at any time with an Xbox, my friend. Sorry.
<BR>
<BR>Take care,
<BR>PK

PK, I´ll be glad to post impressions when I get things running.
<BR>
<BR>I´ll be playing NFL2K3 and the "online only" version of Fever 2003 that comes with the kit. I´ll post some impressions whenever I can actually buy the kit and get online.
