EDIT: And in case anyone missed it:

HOW TO REFRESH YOUR DASHBOARD
Open guide
Hold RT and press Y
Dashboard will reload and you will see any new tiles etc

Thanks I didn't know about that.

I still don't see it.

 

[AzureSkies]

Yeah, sorry, they are using forced translation of 60% dashboard since the last update. Sucks ass but that's the way it is.

Having no luck having the beta sign up show on my dashboard.

I'm in Canada, if that helps at all.

Any kind of updates/changes are staggered somewhat on Live. Check back every 20-30 mins or so.

 

[Stop It]

Well just signed up. I did have a low amount of MSP that I don't mind converting.

I usually am way lttp on these and miss out so it's nice to get in for once.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Where are you based? Seems to be live in the UK.

US, East Coast

Edit: Just worked, signed up. Had to refresh the dashboard with the method above

 

[xemumanic]

It's finally up in the US. I'm in the East, PA, and it finally showed up for me.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Signed up and the message said "you're in the next round". First or second round, I don't know.

 

[El_Chino]

I'm in!

 

[Ghazi]

lmao just my luck that I'm out all day today and can't do it from my console, I've participated in every single dashboard beta previously too, that's a damn shame that all the spots will be gone before I get home. Thanks for "streamlining" the experience Major N.

 

[educator]

Just signed up, said im in the next round. Anyone actually received the update yet?

 

[El_Chino]

Nope, it appears everyone just made into the next round.

 

[educator]

Nope, it appears everyone just made into the next round.

Ah, okay! Im always so delighted when new things roll out, so hopefully we'll get it soon.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Signed up. A lot easier doing it this way than typing in all the information they needed.

 

[Lunchbox]

weekday morning you launch this crap? I'll be at work all day, thanks for nothing Larry

at least I make more money than you

 

[DJ Lushious]

Does anyone m is what will happen if you sign up on an Xbox 360 console that is not yours? I am away on vacation, but do have access to an Xbox.

 

[Goodacre0081]

still not up in Canada (west coast)

 

[educator]

I completed the registration, but the "add" still says complete registration. Is it like that for you guys too?

 

[Adam Blue]

It gives you the option to sign-in to an account. Don't know the specifics, but I saw that.

 

[Vire]

Are they still making it continually worse with each iteration?

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

I'm in Thanks!

 

[John Caboose]

I completed the registration, but the "add" still says complete registration. Is it like that for you guys too?

Yes. They just change the tile to link into starting the registration app instead of downloading it.

 

[LukasTaves]

Make the 360 dash more like the XO one, improve performance and apparently switch points to cash.

And increase friend list size to 1000 on 360 too?

 

[LukasTaves]

Hopefully a better Smartglass integration, I started using it to control the dashboard in some situations and it can be useful (especially during the latest sales, to make room on the hard drive and moving games around, while still watching TV), but I would appreciate if we could see the dashboard on the phone/tablet.
More customization would be nice too. The X1 dashboard looks like an improvement in that regard, I hope this update will keep the idea.
I may sign up tonight if it's not full at the time.

As an aside comment : we can quick-add people to our Neogaf ignore list now ? That's very, very convenient.

You can use smartglass to delete stuff on the HDD? OMG, mind blown

 

[blurredvision]

- More adverts.
- Even harder/time consuming sifting through your game library
- Harder to navigate marketplace
- More Bing

Prove me wrong.

You do realize that #4 will easily help you with #2 and #3, right?

 

[educator]

Yes. They just change the tile to link into starting the registration app instead of downloading it.

So I shouldn't bother with it then even though I completed the registration?

 

[Family Fry]

I only thought this dash update was to change over MSP to currency?
Will it have cosmetic changes too?

 

[LukasTaves]

They're upgrading the dash AGAIN? Isn't this like the 6th update (blades, NXE, NXE upgraded, metro-look, updated metro-look)? Hasn't each update made the user experience considerably worse?

Not for me in the slightest. System wide search + chatpad (or sometimes Kinect voice) = insta find anything.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am in something. Hooray!

 

[batman2million]

Man so much MS hate. I like the dash changes, makes it feel like i'm using a brand new system. and the ad's never seemed to bother me. to each their own.

 

[Ghazi]

Yes it will, supposedly smaller tiles and some other stuff so it looks more like Xboner dashboard.

 

[Vire]

I liked the dash changes till Metro.

Metro is abhorrent though, a severe downgrade from the NXE system.

Ads all up in this ass.

 

[Kajiba]

Signed up. I'm in it seems.

 

[John Caboose]

So I shouldn't bother with it then even though I completed the registration?

No need to sign up twice, no.

 

[uncledonnie]

Thanks for the heads up OP, got in.

I actually love the current dash so I'm interested to see what they plan to change. Have to assume there will be some connection to the upcoming XB1 dash.

[statham]

I'm in, do we have any hints on what it might look like?

 

[Majanew]

In

 

[Azriell]

I haven't touched my 360 in months, but this gave me a good reason to. It also reminded me that I bought a number of games on sale that I've never touched once. Maybe I'll rectify that sometime soon

Spoiler

probably just keep playing Animal Crossing.

 

[Family Fry]

Yes it will, supposedly smaller tiles and some other stuff so it looks more like Xboner dashboard.

Cool.
Will be nice to have a slightly different look/layout.
Also thanks to the OP for the link.

 

[Macho Madness]

Signed up. Should be a decent update.

 

[Ghazi]

Wait, I didn't meant for it to come out as Xboner. My phone autocorrects me on the word Xbone wtf.

 

[TRios Zen]

Thanks for link, I'm in.

I think I've been in the past 3 or 4 betas, so nice to keep the streak rolling. Plus I agree, this is MUCH easier than how they had you sign up in the past. Wonder when they will start rolling this out.

 

[Goodacre0081]

by the time the dashboard is updated in my area all the spaces will be filled. lame

 

[Keyser Soze]

Did anyone actually give the T&C a read?

Any interesting wording in it to suggest anything interesting might be on the way?

I skipped it like usual -

Spoiler

I am screwed!!

 

[Stone Ocean]

I hope it's not slow as fuck this time around. Fuck the current dash.

It says you signed an NDA and cannot discuss (share information) nor show any type of visual representation of the dashboard, not here or anywhere. So don't go taking photos and uploading them here, that might get you in trouble.

 

[Zonic]

Well, that was a lot easier to sign up than the previous betas. Wonder what we'll get this time around for joining.

 

[Majanew]

The current dash isn't slow.

 

[lefantome]

I signed, I hope it won't cause any problem with GTA V

 

[KageMaru]

Hopefully there are some spots left by the time I get home from work tonight. I've been in every beta, but don't care too much about this one since I probably won't use my 360 much once the new systems hit.

Are they still making it continually worse with each iteration?

While the original metro was pretty piss poor, the updated metro was actually an improvement (better marketplace, almost instant loading library, better bing searching, etc.). So hopefully this is another upgrade.
