Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

The COG avatar looks good but the Locust one looks terrible. They should have done the Locust sniper or something.

For some reason in the avatar in the Locust armor is standing normal though, maybe they've finally changed the way they stand.

You're the only person I've seen to get an email so far...congrats!

I didn't get one, neither did any of the guys I work with. Hopefully later

well the email hasn't been sent yet, but you can still check. Go to http://connect.microsoft.com and log in. Click "Xbox LIVE Update Preview"

If you were accepted it should say something like "Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to the 2009 Xbox LIVE Update Preview."

I just got a message saying I'd receive an email... Guess that means I didn't get in?

Netflix parties is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Like somebody said earlier, just go to the connect site. I didn't receive an email, but I went to the site and saw that I had been accepted, turned on my XBOX and it updated. The way Major Nelson makes it sound, seems like everybody that applied will eventually get in, they're just doing it in waves.

Yeah, it doesn't say I've been accepted there. Still just has the instructions on how to apply, and not to apply more than once, etc.

My status says:

Status: Participating

Does that mean I have been accepted?

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Does this update include the video on-demand stuff mentioned at E3?

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

I can't wait for those Gears avatar clothing...........LOL!

If the Monkey Island and Halo stuff is any indication I think you can wait. (I don't know if we're allowed to talk about this stuff or not)

I'm Canadian so don't get Netflix and silver so can't use parties. After booting it up I'm not sure why they let me try it. Guess they expected me to buy avatar clothes. I like the rating thing and new achivement stuff though.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

what's the new number above the rep stars mean? How long you've been on Live?

The avatar marketplace has potential, but I gotta lol at the halo RC car. Costs almost as much as a arcade game.

The new achievement display will make me spend money on some of the games I should have completed fully, but DLC took credit away. Seeing that I should have 110k points is motivation enough, but I got 1290 in Fallout 3, so I might as well get the rest so it can be included with the 19 other games I've completed.

Yep...works very well on Netflix. Haven't tried the regular Video Marketplace Downloads yet though.

Yep. And because I restarted my "TJdaSportsGuy" account a year ago, I only have a 1 even though I've been on Live for 6 years. The geekiness in me is exploding in anger.

LOL...I felt the same way when they wouldn't recognize me as a Beta tester. I kept murmuring, "But I've got great hands..."
