Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program

23 09 2010

By now you’ve probably heard that there’s a dashboard update coming along soon with new features like family settings and updates to the Zune Video Marketplace. Yeah, it’s true. And you could get your hands on it early as part of the preview program–you assist us in testing the new features by using them as you normally would, and you get to be the cool kid on the block with the toy that’s not out yet.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Signing up does not automatically mean you’ll become part of the program
  • We’re looking for thousands of games across a wide variety of requirements so your chances are pretty good
  • This is NOT a Kinect beta, and preview program participants will not receive Kinect beta units
  • This is open to both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members, but priority will be given to Gold
  • If you participate in this preview program you will not be able to participate in party chat with users who are not in the program
  • To sign up you’ll need both your Serial Number and Console ID. These can be found under System Settings > Console Settings > System Info in your dashboard

Usain Bolt Plays Kinect

20 09 2010

Usain Bolt, fastest man in the world and confessed Call of Duty addict, was in Melbourne over the weekend and while he was there he got some hands-on (feet-on? full body-on?) time with Kinect Sports. To say he thought it was cool would be an understatement, but to hear it directly from him, check out this video from photographer Mark Pakula (@pakula) who was on location.
