Reminder: Find out if you get NXE preview access [update]

by Dustin Burg { Oct 29th 2008 at 1:15PM }

Update: Major Nelson just informed us that the NXE notification emails are being sent out over the next few hours. Good luck, fanboys!

Today is the day that separates the men from the women, the hardcore from the casual and the l33t from the n00b. Today is the day we find out who was accepted and who was denied New Xbox Experience preview access.

Sometime in the next twelve hours, Microsoft will be emailing those who were accepted into the NXE preview program which will ultimately give access to the NXE prior to its November 19th launch. NXE access as early as next week. So, for those of you who were able to fill out the survey and sign up, cross your gaming fingers and obsessively check your inbox, because NXE preview notification emails are being sent out today!

Man I hope I get in :D!!!!!!!!!

Autopsy15 @ Oct 29th 2008 5:49PM

This isn't directed just to you JohnWayne but to everyone who wants access to the NXE.

Why so excited? It's just a new menu system. I'm fine with the old blade system, but I wouldn't really care either if they changed it. Not only is it just a new menu system, but why are you guys so excited about getting to use it a little bit before everyone else? It's just a new menu system.

ScottishPrik @ Oct 29th 2008 7:21PM

I don't really care about the new cosmetic changes. I'm more interested in the party chat support and the install games to hardrive option so I don't have to listen to my 360 making noises like it's trying to digest my games disc every time I put it in plus other feutures I can't be bothered to write. It's not "just" a new menu system. That's why I'm excited.

ObiBen @ Oct 29th 2008 1:20PM

I'm hoping to see that email sometime today!

Latin Trident @ Oct 29th 2008 3:20PM

I didn't even get a chance to sign-up! Registration was full. i FAILED.

VeHeMeNcE @ Oct 29th 2008 1:21PM

*crosses fingers*

SourNotHardcore @ Oct 29th 2008 1:25PM

Cole @ Oct 29th 2008 1:30PM

Winnie PT @ Oct 29th 2008 1:31PM

I really hope to get in, ive been checking the email every few minuts, im already addicted to nxe xD

OptimumEDGE @ Oct 29th 2008 1:32PM

* crosses his gaming fingers *

Seriously I want some NXE goodness.

drizzlenuts @ Oct 29th 2008 1:33PM

If i dont get in ms is gonna have to pay a hefty reward for those who will have to find me after i run away because i didnt get the nxe.

iFester @ Oct 29th 2008 1:44PM

Good riddance to you then. That joke was in poor taste for someone that lives in the area the community is searching for the kid.

readmore @ Oct 29th 2008 1:54PM

I thought it was funny.
*thumbs up*!

Actually, if MS offers that runaway kid access to the NXE maybe he'll come back!

/if no one enjoyed a joke in poor taste there would be no South Park

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Oct 29th 2008 2:39PM

I thought it was funny too.

iFester, get over yourself, the kid RAN AWAY because his parents grounded him from his xbox. My sympathy goes out to the family, but the kid is kind of a jerk for putting the community through it.

Tep @ Oct 29th 2008 1:33PM

I got one :3

OptimumEDGE @ Oct 29th 2008 1:39PM

No you didn't... Shutup!

* runs away *

Also on a more serious note. WHEN are you guys planing to announce the Fable2 fanswag giveaway winners? It's been over a week now. I think I'm going to lose my mind and do very bad things to chickens that involve my foot.

decapit8 @ Oct 29th 2008 1:37PM

so... if i dont get in... i am a woman?

but i dont want to have a vagina =[

Pudge @ Oct 29th 2008 1:40PM

I'm pretty confident. I have Netflix, High Speed College internet, run video and music to my 360 from my computer, and play over 30 hours a week.

I'm guessing they jumped at mine.

normissey @ Oct 29th 2008 2:22PM

yeah because ms knows that you have netflix, how often you game, and what you stream to your 360. are you serious bro? come on man, think about it. just for that stupid remark, i hope you dont get one. loser.

ps
i got mine.b (no netflix, game 5 hours a week, dont stream)

Tony @ Oct 29th 2008 2:27PM

They did ask all of that on the survey. Why wouldn't they know?

Exo @ Oct 29th 2008 3:09PM

@normissey

you are and idiot, those are things they asked specificly in the survey, if youdont know that then you didnt fill out one either, so that means you didnt get one.

so that makes you a douche and a liar

Ryan @ Oct 29th 2008 1:43PM

I only wonder what will happen when you get a other xbox360 from the microsoft repair centre with a totally different console id number then the old one. I just hope it will work else I didn't had to sign myself up for this preview.

JeSuZ Cicle @ Oct 29th 2008 1:51PM

I thought that was the case but here is a fresh update from him

# NXE Mail update: We're hoping to get them sent out later today. NONE of gone out yet. I'll make a post when they do!

-----less than a minute ago

JeSuZ Cicle @ Oct 29th 2008 1:53PM

Damn everyone beat me to it..... :(

JeSuZ Cicle @ Oct 29th 2008 1:54PM

I wonder if they will send you an e-mail even if you didnt get in, like a sorry but to bad kinda thing?

TLC510 @ Oct 29th 2008 1:55PM

Major Nelson Twittered this morning that they would not be sending out emails today. It got bumped to tomarrow. Check his site

Dustin Burg @ Oct 29th 2008 1:50PM

dbellinger @ Oct 29th 2008 1:50PM

Actually that post was last night. He has however, recently posted that they are HOPING to get them out later today.

Derrick @ Oct 29th 2008 1:56PM

I'm the chosen one! I've seen the future. I see myself laughing at those who didn't recieve MS blessing. HAHAHAHA

bigjrussell @ Oct 29th 2008 2:01PM

Can't wait to see that email! Blackberry instant email notification FTW(I hate that)!

joseph @ Oct 29th 2008 2:04PM

Blackberry Bold instant email notification :)
im hoping for mine too been with xbox live since the wee days

ChunkyB @ Oct 29th 2008 2:05PM

Hey everyone.

When you do find out if you got in or not, post here with some of your info. For example, if you have Netflix, what kind of internet you have, if you're a gold member, etc. So we can see how they made their decision.

He already said that gold members will get higher priority, but I'm guessing people who are netflix subscribers will also get a little higher priority just so they can help work out some of the bugs. Anyways, just a thought.
