New preview program to kick off in the next two weeks for those in the U.S.
By Chris Pereira
Microsoft is currently seeking "multiple thousands" of testers for an
Xbox 360 system update preview program. Unlike previous previews, which
were for upgrades to the 360 dashboard, this one includes physical items
being sent to participants -- it's intended to help Microsoft "prepare
for an updated Xbox 360 disc format."
No further details were offered about exactly what the new format is all
about. Things will be kicking off in the next two weeks, so those who
apply should be receiving a notification by email fairly soon if they've
been accepted. You must be an Xbox Live member located in the United
States in order to participate; being an Xbox Live Gold member will give
you a better chance of getting in.
Those who are accepted will receive a copy of Halo Reach "along with
other possible rewards." Interested Xbox 360 owners can apply for the
preview program here.
